NOTIFICATION

We are obliged to periodically inform all parents that we have CCTV cameras positioned around our site. These cameras are for surveillance purposes and to support our security measures.

 As you may have seen, we also have signs located at strategic points around our School and Nursery. These signs act as a public notice and hopefully a deterrent against prospective unwarranted intrusion, damage, graffiti, vandalism or theft.

If you spot something suspicious around our site, we would appreciate you reporting this immediately to our office or through our email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk

Read, Write Inc – Pure Sounds

Dear Parent/Carer,

The video link below explains how to pronounce each single letter sound correctly. These are called ‘pure sounds’ and are important in allowing your child to blend sounds into words.

‘How to say the sounds’: https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/iZqY6LWC/9PMBDFTQ

The most common sounds that children mispronounce are ‘t’, ‘c’, ‘l’, ‘m’, ‘n’, ‘s’, ‘k’, ‘f’, ‘r’, ‘v’ and ‘z’. Children mistakenly put an ‘uh’ sound on the end, making it a longer sound and thereby trickier to blend when reading a word. Please have a look at how to say these sounds in particular.

We hope that you find this helpful,

Newdale Read, Write Inc Team

Young Voices January 2024

Once again, we will be taking part in the very special ‘Young Voices’ concert which will take place on Wednesday 24th January 2024 at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham. This is a fantastic opportunity for your child to experience singing as an ensemble alongside professional musicians and conductors.

Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. The after school club will take place every Tuesday from Tuesday 10th October 2023 until the event in January 2024, collect your child from the doors at the back of the school hall at 4.15pm.

It is very important, that your child is prepared to put in a lot of hard work and commitment as there are many songs and dance moves to learn off by heart, children will be expected to attend all after school club sessions. As there are only 30 spaces available if your child misses two sessions without a valid reason we will offer the space to another child. Also, please note that the evening of Wednesday 24th January will be a very late night and children will be expected in school the next day!

To ensure we are fair to working parents we will send a text message to parents informing you when the post will go live around 7.00pm tonight (2nd October 2023).

Dear Parents/Carers,

The Telford Health Improvement team and I would be really grateful to parents if they could spend just a few minutes filling in the attached survey.

As an incentive, we are offering a £25 Love2Shop voucher to one lucky person who does!

All you have to do is fill in the survey, then let the office staff know you have. They will collect names and then one lucky person will be pulled out of a hat!

It is really important that we gather community thoughts on health matters in our borough, as your opinions really do drive change and the offer we have across Telford.

The survey is live until 2nd October.  Link to survey attached below.

Reminder – Safeguarding Workshop for Parents

Dear Parents/Carers,

In October, we have organised a free workshop to update and inform parents/carers on safeguarding issues within our local and wider community. These sessions are informative and will provide parents and carers with information and an awareness of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) and County Lines. The sessions will be led by Vicki Ridgewell, who is the Exploitation and Vulnerability Trainer for West Mercia Police. There will be two, identical workshops: one face-to-face and the other online.

 

Child Sexual Exploitation – A Guide for parents and carers – 2022 leaflet

Wednesday 11th October 2023

Time: 9-10am                  Location: School hall

Wednesday 18th October 2023

Time: 4-5pm                    Location: Teams (please see link below)

We have robust safeguarding systems in place at Newdale and do our upmost to prevent our children coming into harm. All members of staff receive regular training on this particular aspect as well as other safeguarding issues. Our Curriculum, especially our Life Learning curriculum, addresses these areas in an age-appropriate way to support children in making good choices when in their community.

 

If you are unable to attend but would like to find out more information on this topic. Please read the parents’ guide attached which has been produced by the Telford and Wrekin Safeguarding Partnership.

Yours sincerely,

Miss R Cook

Year 4’s Swiss Afternoon

As part of our European Day of Languages, Year 4 learnt all about Switzerland yesterday. The children really enjoyed exploring some of the main languages spoken in Switzerland; French, Germany and Italian. They also had fun making some art work inspired by the Edelweiss Flower – and listening to some of the best songs from The Sound of Music.
