Sporting achievement board

Lots of children take part in some wonderful, varied sports outside of school and we would love for them to celebrate their achievements with the other children and staff (no matter how big or small).  Mrs Goodwin has been busy creating an achievement board where children can share certificates, pictures or medals with a small write up about the event.  If you would like to send anything into school to be included, you can either pass on to the class teacher, or e-mail us at newdale.primary@taw.org.uk

Many thanks

Let’s Dine School Meals Competition

At Lets Dine we  are always working towards providing  healthy meal choices, supporting the reduction of  obesity in schools and supporting schools with their universal infant free school meal uptake as it’s a free meal. To promote this work we are  launching a school meals competition. All pupils in Reception to Year 6 classes (key stage 1and 2 only) which are catered by Let’s Dine are eligible to enter whether they are paid or free meals.

To enter the competition pupils will need to have a school meal (hot or cold) for 40 days between 13 January 2020 and 27 March 2020.

  • a hamper
  • a skiing party ticket
  • a family foot golf/driving range ticket

Entries will be recorded on a cashless system against pupil’s accounts when they have a meal. At the end of the competition the system will produce a list of pupil’s names who have had 40 or more school meals. These names will be entered in a random name generator.

Those schools that do not have a cashless system will be collated at site and the names added to the final list.
