This Friday, as well as their normal swimming kit, please can your child bring a t-shirt and joggers/shorts in a plastic carrier bag. Part of this swimming session, children will be experiencing what it is like to be in water with clothes on (clothes over their swim wear).

Many Thanks

Reception to Year 5 Stay and Share for Parents/Carers

We are really looking forward to our ‘Stay and Share’ session (Reception to Y5) on Thursday 9th October at 2:45pm. Please enter your child’s classroom from their usual drop off/pick up location (Years R, 2, 3, and 5 parents should enter from the playground classroom doors, Year 1 and Mrs Everall’s classes’ can be accessed from the decking and Mr Stubbs’ class from the stairs by the Visitor Car Park). Playground gates will open at 2:45pm. Due to space constraints, we are only able to accommodate one parent/carer per child. Attendance must be confirmed through ParentPay so staff are aware of expected numbers on the day.  For this event, the children will remain in their classrooms, so if you are visiting more than one child, you will be able to move between the classrooms and spend some time with them individually. We look forward to seeing you all and the children can’t wait to share their learning with you.

Carding Mill Valley

Dear Parents/ Carers,

Our trip to Carding Mill Valley is next week on Wednesday 16th July. Children will need to be appropriately dressed for lots of walking and our river activities. We would like everyone to wear their PE kit due to the forecasted hot weather. They will also need comfortable footwear (trainers). As we will be standing in shallow parts of the river, they will also need to bring long wellington boots in their bags along with their lunch. As it will be hot, please also remember plenty of water, sun cream and a hat.

If you have not yet consented to the trip, please do so as soon as possible.

Please discuss any issues with your child’s class teacher.

Kind regards,

The Year 5 Team

School Uniform

As the weather is getting warmer, please can you ensure that your child has a water bottle, a sun hat and wears sun cream to school. If your child needs to reapply sunscreen during the day, we ask that it’s kept in their bag with their name on, and then applied by the themselves when appropriate.

Just a quick reminder about our uniform policy…

At Newdale our school colours are navy blue, black and grey.

We request children wear a navy jumper or cardigan and grey or black skirts / pinafores or trousers along with a light blue collared shirt. If you would like to order uniform with our school logo on, please do so via Baker and Sons Schoolwear in New Street, Wellington 01952 641897.  This is not compulsory: uniform without a logo is acceptable as long as it matches our chosen colours. In warmer months, blue gingham dresses / black or grey smart shorts can be worn.  Please ensure that these are of an appropriate length and aren’t too high above the knee.

All children need to wear sensible shoes (no heels or trainers please). In the colder weather, girls are permitted to wear black, navy or grey tights.

PE Kit

We have decided that we will continue with allowing children to come to school in their School PE kit on PE days. The reasons for this is linked to the time it takes for some children to get changed often eats significantly into the actual time carrying out PE lessons. It is also much simpler to do this, when looking at the lack of private space for children to get changed, and the unhygienic option of them getting changed in the toilets.

The school PE kit is as follows –

A plain or school logo navy PE top

Plain navy shorts or tracksuit bottoms

A plain or school logo navy sweatshirt/hoodie

Black pumps or trainers

We do ask that no sports logo kit is used as school PE kit please – they must be either plain or with the Newdale logo. It is important that everyone abides by our uniform rules as we know how important is it that children feel part of our Newdale team.

Thank you for your continued support.

We hope you continue to enjoy this glorious weather.
