Year 5 School Closure

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your cooperation this afternoon.

At home, the children can continue to work on their homework (we have given them their homework for next week as well). They could also access TTRS and Fiction Express.

Many thanks

Harry Potter trip Y5

Harry Potter is fast approaching, and we can now update you with the details.  Children are required to be in school at 7.10am, please meet by the main school playground gates where a member of staff will be waiting.  Please ensure your child has a packed lunch and a few extra snacks to eat throughout the day in a carrier bag so this can be thrown away after lunch and a drinks bottle (if your child is eligible for free school meals and you have ordered via ParentPay this will be provided for you).  We will be leaving Harry Potter World at 2.30pm and aim to return back to school at 6.45pm after eating their Burger King.

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.
