Welcome to Newdale Reception 2023

Welcome to Newdale Primary School 2023.

We are all really looking forward to welcoming everyone into reception for their first day of school, either for their morning or afternoon session on Tuesday. We know you will be so smart in your uniform and will have such a great time catching up with or making new friends.

 

Please find attached an information sheet. It shows you the staff working in our Reception team, along with a map for entry and exit details for your new classroom. We hope you find this helpful.

Below is the link to our virtual classroom tour sent previously. It might be comforting to watch this again with your child prior to their first day, to remind them of what their lovely new classrooms will look like.

If you have any questions, then please do email us on our Reception class email:  newdaleyearrteam@taw.org.uk

Last Day of Term

We are looking forward to an exciting last day in Reception! We will be completing a ‘STEM’ challenge! We do not want to reveal the challenge just yet, but we can give you a clue it will involve lots of building using the large construction!

Please see below for further details…

Reception Message

We will be sending home the children’s work books this week. Please can you send in a named ‘bag for life’ or strong carrier bag on Wednesday so that we can put the books in ready to send home.

Thank you,

The Reception Team :)

School Reports

School reports will be sent home on Friday 14th July with your child.  If you require a second copy please email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk by Monday 10th July with further details.

Year 5 classes – please remember to keep your report as you will need this to apply for Thomas Telford School.  We no longer take copies of reports.

Thank you for your co-operation

Message for reception parents – 4th July

Due to transition day the Year 6 teachers will be teaching reception tomorrow (4th July) and have some exciting forest school activities planned. Please could they wear PE Kit as usual and bring in wellies just in case. (Whole forest school uniform not required).

 

Career Day in Reception

Thank you for the effort with the wonderful costumes today, that really brought our learning to life! We had builders, engineers, doctors, police, coffee shop assistants, fire fighters, ballerinas, vets, tennis players, explorers, coaches and hairdressers to name but a few! We have learnt all about the different types of jobs there are and what we might like to be when we grow up. We took part in some ‘Money sense’ lessons from Natwest, learning about how and where we might keep our money safe and also the difference between ‘wanting’ and ‘needing’ something.

To round off a brilliant day, we had a visit from a real Midwife, who taught us about her important job of looking after babies. A great day was had by all!

School Uniform

Just a reminder that children should be wearing full school uniform every day. In addition long hair must be tied back for PE lessons.  We encourage all children with long hair to tie it back to help prevent the spread of headlice. We are currently struggling with headlice within the school.  We recommend you check you child’s hair on a regular basis for headlice/nits.

Many thanks for your support.
