Reception Christmas Event

Children in Reception classes are welcome to come to school in a Christmas jumper tomorrow for the sing along and craft session. If you do not have a jumper, then tinsel or Christmas hats or hair bows are a welcome alternative.

This will take place in the afternoon, but children can come to school wearing their jumper with their usual skirts or trousers for the whole day.

There will be no forest school session tomorrow afternoon due to the Christmas event.

 

Thank you

The Reception team :)

NSPCC PANTS Assembly

This week, (03.11.25), children from Reception to Year 6 will be discussing the NSPCC’s PANTS rule as part of a class assembly, led by the class teacher.  During the assemblies, we will aim to teach our pupils the following important safety skills without giving explicit information.

We will be teaching our pupils the NSPCC’s underwear rule, using the ‘PANTS’ acrostic.

PANTS stands for:

  • Privates are private
  • Always remember your body belongs to you
  • No means no
  • Talk about secrets that upset you
  • Speak up, someone can help

The content of the session will be delivered in a way that is fully age appropriate.  The children will then complete additional class sessions in January as part of our ‘Share Aware’ week.

If you would like to know more about the NSPCC’s campaign, please feel free to book onto the parent/ carer workshop hosted by the NSPCC, taking place at Newdale Primary school on 06.11.25 (2:30-3:00pm). This can be booked via Parent Pay. Alternatively, if you have any questions, please speak to the class teacher.

Thank you for your continued support.

Welcome Back Reception

We hope you had a lovely half term! We are looking forward to welcoming you back and hearing about your break.

PE days and Forest School remain the same for this half term:

Wednesday – Outdoor PE (Please come dressed in PE Kit – uniform kit please, no branded logos).

Thursday – Forest School (Please bring warm kit, a waterproof coat and wellies in a bag to change into). We will leave kit boxes outside classroom doors to drop kit bags in and will put them back out at home time to collect kits from. Kit boxes have a coloured sticker for your child’s group so they are easier to place and find.

Friday – Indoor PE (Please come dressed in PE Kit – uniform kit please, no branded logos)

 

We will keep you updated if there are any changes to days as lovely events get booked in, in the lead up to Christmas.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support.
