A message from Mrs Poole our SENDCO

If your child has special educational needs and you would like me to attend their parents’ evening appointment alongside you, I would be more than happy to do so. To arrange this, please let me know via the SENDCo email address (newdalesendco@taw.org.uk) your availability during that week and I shall discuss a time with their class teacher which we can all do. Please note that appointments will not be available on the Friday of this week as I do not work on that day.

Holiday Provision Easter 2023

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are trialling different models of holiday provision to see which works well for our school setting.

 

In the first week of the Easter holiday, we will be open from Monday 3rd April to Thursday 6th April. Sign in will be between 8:30 and 9:00. The end of the session will be between 3:30 and 4:00.

 

We have 20 places available which can be booked on a first come, first served basis using the Crossbar website link www.crossbarcoaching.schoolipal.co.uk This link will go live on Monday 27th February after half term.

 

The cost is £15 per child per day. Children who attend would need to bring a packed lunch, water bottle and suitable clothing to match the offer around outdoor sports and indoor crafts.

 

If we cannot fill up the 20 places with Newdale children, we will need to offer it out to other children in our local area in order to make the club viable. We would prefer not to do this unless we have to.

 

We have some places available for children who are entitled to free school meals. Mrs Byrne Corbett is contacting some parents to discuss this offer. If you believe you are eligible and keen for your children to attend, do contact Mrs Byrne Corbett.

 

Places for free school meals children will not be booked through the Crossbar link above, but through our Parent Pay system. This payment will become live after parents have made an agreement with Mrs Byrne Corbett.

 

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Free School Meals

Free School Meal Applications

Dear Parents/Carers,

We already have quite a large number of families who enjoy the benefits after applying for Free School Meals and we urge you to reconsider if you meet the criteria listed below.

By applying for Free School Meals, very often parents think it is all directly linked to school dinners. It isn’t! If you qualify for Free School Meals it also would mean that you are entitled to significantly reduced prices for school trips, breakfast clubs and after school clubs. There are many other benefits that your child could directly receive to potentially support them at home and if needed, with their learning at school.

Families with children in Years Reception up to Year 6 can apply for Free School Meals if they are entitled to certain benefits and have an annual income of £16,190 or below.

Please follow the below link, this will take you to the Telford & Wrekin website where you are able to access more information and download an application form which will be sent directly to the team.

Reception Star of the Week

Congratulations to Tobias, who is Mrs Sturrock and Miss Fisher’s ‘Star of the Week’ this week. Tobias has been chosen for always following our school’s BSMART code and being an excellent role model to others. We love having Tobias in our class because he is such a good friend and help to everyone. We could quite easily choose him for this award every week! Well done Tobias!

Merry Christmas Reception 🌲 ⛄️

We have had a lovely couple of days in Reception in the lead up to the holidays.
We learnt to play a Christmas board game. Our teachers were so impressed with how we could take turns.
We had a treat on Friday afternoon. We all had our very own golden ticket, danced and then watched “The Polar Express” film drinking hot chocolate and eating popcorn!

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge well done to everyone in Reception for completing their first full term in school. Everyone has worked incredibly hard and we can see such great progress.
Thank you to all families for your ongoing support at home too.
Enjoy a well earned rest over the holidays and we look forward to seeing you all safe and sound in the New Year.
Merry Christmas 🎄
The Reception Team.

Reception’s Winter Wonderland

We have done lots of exciting Christmas activities over the last two weeks but our favourite of them all was our parent/family ‘Winter Wonderland’.

We had lots of fun singing Christmas Carols,  making Christmas decorations, drinking hot chocolate, eating biscuits and taking part in a super fun Christmas quiz with our family.

Thank you to everyone that was able to attend. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Here are some of the photos we took from the event.

Merry Christmas

The ‘Newdale Express’!

Reception had lots of fun today on the ‘Newdale Express’. We started off the morning going on a golden ticket hunt searching for our train ticket.

When we arrived back into the classroom, the class was set up like a train and the Polar Express music was on. We sat ’on the train’  and Mrs Elf (Mrs Sturrock) came up and stamped our tickets.  Once we were ‘All Aboard the Newdale Express’  we danced to the polar express music up and down the ‘train carriage’.  We then sat down and enjoyed popcorn and hot chocolate. Once the train had arrived our classroom turned into ‘Newdale Cinema’ and we watched some of the Polar Express film. It was great fun!
