Family Lunch – thank you!

1.3.23 Family Lunch

 Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you so much for attending our Spring term family lunch. We had 316 visitors today!

The children absolutely love showing off their school to you.

A huge thank you to the admin team and of course the kitchen team for the efforts put in organising the tickets and the delicious food.

The staggered start did relieve the queue this time around and we have plans for Summer event which should make things even easier.

We look forward to seeing many of you next week at parents evening.

Regards,

Miss Cook

Pets

We have a very exciting visitor in nursery next week!  The animal man is coming on Friday to help us to learn how to look after pets.  Please can you support us with this by sharing any pets that you have at home via evidence me.  We will use these pictures to prompt the children to talk about them.  If you don’t have a pet don’t worry, you are equally welcome to send in pictures of friends or relatives pets too.

Thank you Lisa Curnow

Parents’ Evening – next week

Parents’ Evening WC 06.03.23

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you know it is parents’ evening next week. If you have not already booked your appointment, please do so via our online booking system: https://newdale.schoolcloud.co.uk/. The online booking system will close at 12pm on Friday 3rd March 2023.

The map below shows the entry and exit points for parents’ evening next week. Please note that if your appointment is after 5:30pm on Monday 6th March or Tuesday 7th March, that you will need to enter and exit the school via the school office.

We will be asking parents to fill in a paper parent survey either whilst in school or to take it away and return it the following day.

Your views are really important to us. We spend quality time analysing parent surveys and write actions for future improvements. Everyone in our school works incredibly hard to ensure the best possible outcomes for your children.

We look forward to seeing you over parents’ evening week.

Regards,

Miss Cook

BeSmart Cup Treat

Welcome back! Hope everyone has had a lovely half term break.

We have had a discussion as a class about what we would like for our Be Smart Cup Treat this Friday. The class came up some great ideas!

This Friday, the children can bring their slippers and a snoodie/dressing gown in to wear in the afternoon (in a named bag please). We will have a cosy afternoon watching a film with a few treats.

Many thanks,

Mrs Millington

E-Safety – VTech Smart Watches

We have noticed since returning to school that a number of children are wearing VTech watches during school hours.

The watch itself has a camera on it which means it can record at any given time. The welfare of our children is paramount and therefore, due to the safeguarding risk, these watches will be banned in school. If a child comes into school wearing a VTech watch, it will be taken off them and returned at the end of the day.

Reception World Book Day Message

We look forward to celebrating World Book Day this Thursday.

Don’t forget to bring in an old book you have finished with (good condition) to take part in our school book swap so you can take a cool book home that is new to you!

Costumes are encouraged as well as cosy pyjamas. As this is a PE day, please do not wear or bring in kit for this day, but please do bring in a change of trainers or wear trainers so you can still take part in your lesson. We also ask for a warm coat to wear for PE and playtimes.

Thank you for your support.
