TikTok Warning

It has come to our attention that there are inappropriate videos and comments that children can potentially be exposed to on the app TikTok.  Please can you monitor what your child is viewing and speak to them about the importance of E-Safety.

May we take this opportunity to remind you that the TikTok app is rated at 13years+

Kind Regards,

Miss A Newport

Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 numbers

11.6.20

Dear Parent/Carer,

We hope you and your families are well and continuing to cope during these stressful times.

In line with government advice, we are trying very hard to plan what happens at Newdale between now and the end of the academic year.

In order for us to move forward with this planning, we need to have firm numbers for the current year groups we have invited back in.

If you have a child or children currently attending in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and / or Year 6 and you plan on continuing to send them in, you need do nothing at all.

If you have children in the above year groups and you plan on removing them for any reason, then please let the office know.

If you have children in these year groups who are currently not attending school, but you would like them to begin attending, we need you to let us know by noon on Monday. Please note that after this deadline we will be unable to accept more children into these year groups.

We will then have firm figures as to who will attend between now and the end of the year. This will allow us to look at the space and staffing we have available as we progress through the rest of the term.

Many thanks for your ongoing support and patience.

Miss Cook

Year 6 Information

Dear Parents/Carers of children in Year 6,

As you know we are encouraging children to travel to and from school independently where possible. We understand that you may well want your child to carry a phone with them as additional security. Please remind them to turn phones off when they enter our site. We need to make you aware that we will not be collecting phones in and storing them in the office as we used to do previously. This is to reduce risks of infection. We will be asking children to leave phones in their bags and need to make you aware that this would be at your own risk, as we cannot guarantee their security over this time.

Regards

Miss Cook and the Year 6 team.

Free School Meals Update

The Department for Education have confirmed that it will not be providing Free School Meal vouchers for the May half term holiday week (25th May – 29th May). This will also be the case for any future school holidays as they are not normally provided during these times.

Vouchers have been ordered for next week and will be delivered from Monday (please note this may be later in the week).

We will inform you of how free school meals will be issued after half term once we have more information from the Department for Education or Local Authority.

Year 6- work for the week beginning 20/4/20

Hi Year 6

We hope you had an enjoyable Easter break and ate plenty of chocolate eggs!
Your work this week is on Purple Mash. Mrs Thomas and I have set you all a number of tasks: there is a fast 10 for each day and some literacy based activities which we will add to every day, so try to keep on top of this work. In addition to this, please continue to use Read Theory and TTRS.

As a school, we have decided to run subject themed weeks for you to have a go at in the afternoons and this week is Art. Please see Miss Hailey’s post below for a range of activities you can complete. Please upload your pieces on to the school blog because we’d love to see them!

If you are unable to use Purple Mash and would prefer for Mrs T or I to send you some paper based work electronically, please email us and we will send some work over.

Have fun!

Miss C and Mrs T

Scam Emails

We wanted to make you aware of a scam which effects families who are eligible for free school meals. The following extract has been taken from an official Government website that was updated today –

Be aware of scam emails

We have been informed that some parents have received an email stating the following: ‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.

We can confirm that this is a scam email and is not official. We urge parents that if you receive any emails like this, please do not respond, and delete it immediately.

Information for the parents of children with SEND

Please see the following message from Vicky Ford MP for the parents of children with SEND, particularly those that have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP).

As ever, the document is asking Parents to consider whether their child’s needs can be met at home safely. This is to keep as many children as possible at home during this time to help reduce the transmission rates of Covid 19.
