Reception Message – Halloween

Children are invited to bring in a Halloween costume next Thursday (22nd) to change into for the afternoon for some dancing and crafts.
Please do not worry, this will be fun and nothing too spooky! You are welcome to bring in dress down clothes to change into if you would prefer.

A reminder this will be the last day for the children before half term as Friday 23rd is a PD Day.

Thank you.
The Reception Team :)

Reception Message – lost property and home time

Good evening,
As you can see, now Autumn is in full swing, we are experiencing both warm and wet weather. Because of this, the children are taking coats, jumpers and cardigans on and off frequently whilst playing outside at break and lunchtimes. Please can you help us by ensuring that their uniform and coats are labelled with their full name so that we can easily and quickly partner up clothes again with the right person. Even named items can still be tricky to find should someone accidentally take the wrong item home, but we will do our best to reunite items asap.

It can be quite a challenge to man the doors at home time and search for lost belongings at the same time. Our priority has to be ensuring that each child returns to the correct person collecting them.

We would like to reassure you that we always encourage the children to hang their jumpers and coats on their peg when they take them off, and also to bring them in from the playground. Unfortunately despite reminders, the children can get easily distracted when they are busy playing or having fun so getting mixed up with other uniform is inevitable.

We would appreciate if you would please wait until all children have been sent home with their adult collecting before asking staff or sending your child back in to look for their belongings, so staff can ensure children are sent out safely.  If your child’s belongings have not been left in class, then please do accompany your child to the lost property box after school to search for items found on the playground.

Thank you for your support and patience at home time.

Ten by Ten

 

Children starting school across Telford and Wrekin this autumn are embarking on an exciting journey through the borough’s 10 by 10 programme, having received their own adventure cards to help them explore ten enriching experiences before their 10th birthday.

The initiative encourages children to build confidence, develop new skills and broaden their horizons through activities such as learning to swim, riding a bike, playing an instrument, taking part in sport and drama, visiting museums and heritage sites, and using their local library. Every primary school in Telford and Wrekin is part of the programme, helping to ensure that all children have access to these valuable opportunities.

Families can also sign up to receive information about local events, activities and offers that support children in completing their 10 by 10 adventures. The scheme builds on the success of the borough’s 5 by 5 programme for younger children and aims to inspire curiosity, confidence and lifelong memories.

Supporting Young Carers in Telford Schools

Do you have a child who helps care for a family member or friend with an illness, disability, or mental health issue?

If so, your child might be a Young Carer! Young Carers often take on extra responsibilities, like helping with household chores, personal care, or emotional support.

At Newdale, we want to support our Young Carers and ensure they have the help they need to thrive. That’s why we’re working with Telford & Wrekin Council and other local organisations to identify and support Young Carers in our school community.

If you think your child might be a Young Carer, please get in touch with us. We can offer

– Support with schoolwork and attendance

– Emotional support and guidance

– Access to local resources and services

– Opportunities to connect with other Young Carers

To find out more or to let us know about your child, please contact Mrs Millington in the school office or our pastoral manager, Mrs Byrne Corbett.

Let’s work together to support our Young Carers in Telford! 🌈
