Year 2 Residential UPDATE infromation

PLEASE READ!

We hope you are as excited as us for our residential trip.

A few reminders –

  • Children to wear uniform and trainers on Thursday for Enginuity (no need to pack an additional pair of shoes)
  • Please ensure the bag they bring with their overnight items is small enough so the children are able to carry it themselves.
  • If your child has toileting needs at night, please can you email or speak to the class teacher.
  • Any medication should have been handed into the school office
  • Please provide your child with a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated on both days of our trip
  • Your child DOES NOT need to bring any food/snacks with them. A packed lunch will be provided by school on the THURSDAY ready for the children to take to Enginuity- this is so we have minimal luggage due to overnight bags, waterbottles, jackets and pack lunches.
  • Please can you ensure your child has a sun HAT (with a name labelled clearly) suncream can be brought but your child will need to apply it themselves.
  • The children who are NOT staying need to be collected from the youth hostel at 6.30pm. This will allow them to have tea before being collected. On the morning of Friday 9th June please bring your child to YHA Ironbridge Coalbrookdale (1 Paradise Road, Coalbrookdale, TF8 7NR) for 8am.  Lunch will be  provided by the Youth Hostel so please do not provide your child with one. They do not have to wear school uniform on this day.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Please email us at newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk

Health and Safety Governor Committee Update

Governors met on Friday 26th May as part of the Health and Safety committee. They spoke to children in year 3 and 4 regarding the behaviour systems used across our school. It was clear to Governors that the children like the systems we have in place and believe them to be fair. The children could clearly see the benefits of following the BeSMART code.

The governors also spoke with the site manager, Mr Thomas. They asked him about the checks he carries out linked to site safety/maintenance, water safety, road/ traffic management and electrical safety. Governors were satisfied that his understanding of policy and procedure is robust and that his training is of a high level.

Message from Miss Cook – Year 2

Dear Parents / Carers in year 2,

Firstly, we are so proud of how hard your children have worked during their SAT assessments – they really have done such a fantastic job, and we are very pleased with the great progress they have been making throughout this year.

We wanted to update you with a few changes for the last term. As many of you are aware, today we say goodbye to Miss Sohail who has been a lovely member of the year 2 team. After half term, Mrs Stevens will be joining the year 2 team. She is an experienced Newdale member of staff who knows this class very well.

We hope you all enjoy a lovely half term, hopefully filled with plenty of lovely weather!

Kind regards

Miss Cook

Nursery sports day

It’s that time of year again when we start planning for sports day.  The nursery sports day will be held on Thursday 13th July, weather permitting.  Ladybugs will be participating at 10.00-10.30 and again at 2.00-2.30. Mighty oaks sessions are at 10.30-11.00 and 2.30-3.00.  This will be held on the top field where the astro turf is.  To access this area the gate near the mighty oaks play area is unlocked just before the sessions start.  The children usually dress according to their colour group, for example, if your child is in blue group they may come in with a blue hair bobble or T shirt.  All children will need sensible shoes for running in such as trainers.  If it’s a warm, sunny day please apply suncream and send in a named hat for them to wear.

If your child does not attend on a Thursday you are still welcome as long as you stay with your child.  Just meet us on the field at the correct time.  Any questions please get in touch with your child’s keyworker.

Thanks in advance for your support

Lisa Curnow
