School Books

Dear Parents / Carers,

It is nearly the end of the year and we ask that you could please have a root around on bookshelves / under beds (!) etc. to see if any school books have hidden themselves away? We are especially keen to recover some lost Read, Write, Inc books, but also any books with ‘SLS’ yellow stickers on that we will need to return to the library service.

Many thanks,

Mrs J Thomas

Year 2 DT – cooking and nutrition unit

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.

In year 2 we will be making an exotic fruit salad in our DT unit.

We would like the children to bring in a small plastic box with a lid so they can bring it home.

Please ensure they bring it to school by Friday 14th July.

If any children have any specific fruit allergies that we are unaware of please email us or write in the reading diary.

Thank you

Year 2 Team :)

Summer Fayre

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you for attending our Summer Fayre last week.

We made £2149.60, which is of course amazing.

As I hope you know, we subsidise the vast majority of our school trips and visits for all parents and the money we raised will go towards this.

Your support is invaluable in enabling us to get your children out and about as often as possible. This trip/visitor offer enriches the learning experiences for all children.

Thank you again.

Family Lunch – 19th July

Family lunch will take place on Wednesday 19th July.

To try and eliminate the queues on the day, we are going to trial parents bringing their own lunch (sandwiches) no takeaways e.g McDondald’s.

Pupils will order their school meal on the day as normal. The hot meal for that day will be beef burger.

Further information regarding arrival times will be confirmed closer to the date.

Regards,

Nursery Staffing – September 2023

4.7.23

 

Dear Parent/Carers,

We would like to update you with regards to staffing in the Nursery from September.

 

We must inform you that Mrs Curnow will be sadly leaving Newdale at the end of this academic year.

Mrs Curnow has been a very valued member of our team for 9+  years and we know she will be missed by both the children, staff and families.

I know you will join us in wishing Mrs Curnow every success in her future.

We have been busy looking at our staffing structure and can assure you that the high-quality provision will continue in Mrs Curnow’s absence.

We will be welcoming Mrs Pablos into the team as the new Nursery teacher from September. Many of you will already know that Mrs Pablos is a current experienced teacher at Newdale and has already been busy working in Nursery to ensure a seamless transition.

We will also have the following staff changes:

Miss Mellisa Hodgetts will be moving from our Ladybugs room to work in the Reception classes from September.

We will welcome Mrs Kay Hawley who currently works in Year 2, to work in Ladybugs in her place.

Miss Kerrie Risk will move from Mighty Oaks to support a key group in Ladybugs.

We will also be welcoming Miss Sofia Ahmed to the Mighty Oaks team as new keyworker in September.

All members of staff are excited about their new roles.

Regards

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Newdale Primary School and Nursery

Art Day – Friday 14th July

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are excited to be holding another whole school Art Day, on Friday 14th July.

This year, our focus will be on nature and the local environment and we are excited for local artist, Rob Leckey to join us on the day to work with groups of children to produce a new piece of art for our school. The children will create art centred on their classes chosen artist and they will be focussing on a particular art style, as well as using a range of mediums including painting, printing, and drawing.

This year, we would again love to invite the children to ‘dress to express’ in their most creative clothing, but as you can imagine, this may get messy, so please send your child to school wearing old clothing, or a large t-shirt or apron to wear over these clothes!

It looks to be a very exciting day for everyone involved and we cannot wait to see what everyone creates!

Kind regards,

Mr McFarland

Art Leader
