Spring 2

Dear Parents/Carers,

Many thanks for your support across this last half term.

In Spring two, P.E and Crossbar days will remain the same (Tuesday and Wednesday). Mr McFarland’s class will continue to have their swimming lessons for the first two weeks back (Tuesday 20th and 27th). After this, Mr Jackson’s class will begin their swimming lessons, which will continue into the summer term.

Many thanks,

The Year 5 team.

Harry Potter Reminders

Please see the reminders and updates regarding our Harry Potter trip on Tuesday 6th February.

Travel sickness: If your child suffers from travel sickness, please give them a tablet prior to dropping them off at school.

Should they require an additional tablet for the return journey, please inform us via your child’s reading diary. We will then provide you with a medication form, which needs to be returned to school, along with the tablet in its original packaging.

Departure: The bus will be at the bus stop on Rock Road and not at school, so please bring your child here and stay with them until the adults arrive and allow them to enter the bus.

Please note we will be getting on the bus at 6.45am and leaving at 7am. We will not be able to wait for children who are late. 

Children need to bring a packed lunch and drink with them. Please can this be in a plastic bag, or small, empty backpack, as the children will need to go through security and carry their bags around with them all day.

Children are to wear their school uniform, with comfortable trainers.

We will update you with an estimated time of arrival back at school via the website and social media. We hope for this to be by 5.30pm.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mr McFarland.

Year 5 – Harry Potter Trip

Dear Parents/Carers,

The Year 5 trip to Harry Potter studios is fast approaching – please see the key details below about timings. Further reminders will be sent closer to the date.

Tuesday 6th February 2024.

-Children to arrive from 6.45am. The bus will be parked at the bus stop on Rock Road, when adults are present, the children will be able to board the bus.

-Adults will be present at school to direct you there if needed.

-We will be leaving at 7am sharp, so please ensure your child is on time as the earlier we arrive, the more time the children have to explore the studios.

-We will not be able to stop on our journey, so please ensure your child has had their breakfast and been to the toilet.

-The children will be given a snack on arrival and we hope to have at least 4 hours at the studios and we will update you with pictures from the trip via social media.

-Children will need to bring a packed lunch on the day. We will be leaving the studios by 2.30pm and hope to be back in Telford between 5 – 5.30pm depending on traffic. Miss Cook will send updates regarding our arrival.

-All children should wear school uniform with comfortable trainers.

-Children are not to take spending money as time constraints and costs of items in the shop mean that this will not be possible.

Please note if your child suffers from travel sickness, please ensure they have taken medication for this prior to the trip.

Thank you for your continued support. If there are any further questions, please email newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk

The Year 5 team.

Important message for Mr Jackson’s class

8.1.23

Absence

Dear Parents/Carers of children in Mr Jackson’s class,

I do hope you have had a lovely Christmas.

Unfortunately, I must inform you that Mr Jackson will not be in school for a while due to him needing to undergo necessary surgery.

Mr Jackson will this week be conducting his parents’ evenings from home by telephone as he will continue to shield before his operation date.

This afternoon, you will find the instructions as to how to book in a time slot in your child’s reading diary. Mr Jackson will be making these calls on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and has a good degree of flexibility as he is carrying them out from his home. Mr Jackson will be available all week via email (newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk) for any other questions or concerns.

We have been working very hard to ensure the best possible cover for Mr Jackson’s class whilst he is not in school. We have never been a fan of the unknown nature of supply teachers and where possible always try to cover absence with known school staff.

Mr McFarland has agreed to carry out all the planning for both Year 5 classes. This will ensure the quality of our offer remains very high.

A combination of Mrs Poole, Miss Clay and Mrs Mahon will cover the delivery of the curriculum, with Mrs Hickinbottom being in class full time as normal.

We are not sure on when Mr Jackson will return, but know that he has put in an enormous amount of time over Christmas in making sure everything will run very smoothly in his absence.

I know you will all join me in wishing Mr Jackson a speedy recovery.

If you have any queries, I know that Mr Jackson will be more than happy to answer them when you talk to him during your parents evening appointment.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook
