Christmas at Newdale

This year Mrs Christmas would love to come and visit our wonderful children and spread some Christmas magic to cheer everyone up after what has been a whirlwind year. The exciting thing about this year’s visit is that she will be bringing MR CHRISTMAS along too! Rudolph is sadly unavailable as he needs all the rest he can get before the big day.

Due to the current situation we are still planning carefully how we can offer this wonderful experience to your children, whilst keeping them safe. Watch out for more information closer to the time…………..

Children will be allowed to wear their Christmas jumpers on numerous occasions between now and the end of term – further information to follow.

Making Porridge 🥣

Today Reception had another Science day. We investigated how porridge changes state as we heat it. We also made predictions about where porridge might cool the fastest for the three Bears and Goldilocks, and why. We used data loggers to measure the temperature of the porridge in the different locations. Of course we then had to make porridge and taste it! 🥣 😋 🐻

Can you tell your family how you made it? Did you enjoy it? Maybe you can help make some tasty porridge at home for a warm Winter breakfast.

Update 11.11.20

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Just a quick note to say ‘thank you’ for the efforts everyone is making to keep our site Covid free. We are delighted in the response we have had to the request for all parents to wear face coverings on our site.

 

As you will undoubtedly of heard, there are relatively high numbers of Covid in Telford and therefore we continue to operate strict hygiene and ‘bubble’ systems in school. Adult to adult transition holds the highest risk and with your help we are managing to keep everyone safe.

 

I continue to carefully analyse the advice we are given as schools and update our risk assessment accordingly.

 

Kind regards,

 

Miss Cook

Lost Property

We have a large number of coats without children’s names in our lost property.  On Tuesday morning (10th November) we will place the coats on the picket fence on the playground for parents to check through.  We will space them out to adhere to social distancing but ask that parents also try to maintain a safe distance.

Please note only coats will be taken out tomorrow, however we will look at introducing other items in the future.

If it is wet outside please note that we will not be taking the coats out.

Thank you

Music with Mr Wilcox

Reception were very lucky to have their first wonderful music session with our specialist music teacher, Mr Wilcox. They absolutely loved joining in and are looking forward to the next lesson (which they will be having every Wednesday this half term ☺️)
