World Book Day – Stories that Add Up

On Thursday 5th March, the children at Newdale will be celebrating World Book Day, alongside NSPCC Number Day.

Children will enjoy a range of fun activities that combine the magic of stories with the power of numbers. They can:

  • Take part in maths-themed reading challenges
  • Solve story-based puzzles and problems
  • Explore books that bring maths to life

Dress-Up Theme:
Children are welcome to dress as their favourite book character or get creative with a maths-inspired costume (numbers, shapes, patterns – let their imagination run wild).

Please ensure costumes are comfortable and suitable for school activities.

We look forward to a day full of reading, counting, and creativity! Thank you for your support in making this event a success.

We’d love to hear what fun your little ones got up to—comment below or share a photo ❄️💙 you can also use your evidence me app to share your snow day adventures to your child’s key workers. We would love to see them and then share with the groups on their return next week.

Parking Concerns

Dear Parents and Carers,

As many of you know, our school is located in the centre of a busy and continually expanding residential area. This makes access and parking at drop-off and pick-up times particularly challenging, and we already struggle to accommodate all staff vehicles on site.

We continue to receive concerns from local residents regarding parking and access around the school. While we fully appreciate that the location is not ideal and that there is no simple solution, it is important that we maintain positive relationships with our neighbours. We have advised residents to contact the police if they experience ongoing verbal abuse or repeated illegal parking.

We kindly ask for your support in helping us reduce these issues. Please take extra care when choosing where to park and consider alternatives such as parking slightly further away, car sharing, or encouraging children to walk or cycle where possible.

We will also continue to contact our PCSO team to request additional support during busy periods.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding with this ongoing challenge.

Miss Cook

Headteacher
