Year 5 – Careers Day

As a part of careers day, Year 5 had a visit from an author named Joseph Allen, who writes fantasy books for children. Joe shared his planning books and his stories with the children and helped them to create their own character for a story. He then read an extract of his latest book!

The children absolutely loved learning about his work 😊

What’s App – Year 5

We have been made aware of some What’s App groups involving children in year 5 that we are asking for you to please monitor.

Within the chats, older children, who are not known by everybody, have been added and some of the content and messages being sent are not age appropriate.

As a school we will continue to address online safety in lessons and making sure pupils understand the importance of staying safe online and ask you as parents/ carers to support at home and monitor devices.

Happy News

Dear Parents/Carers,

We’re so happy to share that Mrs. Haymour and her wife are expecting their first baby!

We know our school community will join us in wishing them both a huge congratulations as they get ready to welcome their little one. We couldn’t be happier for them and wish them all the best.

School Reports Information

Reports will be sent out on Friday 10th July (apart from Year 6).

If any parents require a second copy of their child’s school report please email school on newdale.primary@taw.org.uk by Tuesday 7th July.

Please ensure that you keep your copy of the report safe, especially if your child is in Year 5.  Some secondary schools (such as Thomas Telford) require a copy to be sent with the application for Year 7 places
