Year 1 – Train trip

We had a fantastic trip this morning to Telford Steam Railway in Horsehay. The children were able to secure their learning about George Stephenson and steam trains. We saw many steam trains, saw a diesel trains, went in a carriage, had a snowball fight and even had a drink and biscuit in the cafe. A great morning had by all!

Christmas Jumper Day

Christmas Jumper Day is now an annual event for the Save the Children charity. This event falls on the same day as our Christmas lunch (Thursday 8th December) and therefore we would like to invite your child/children to come into school wearing something ‘Christmassy’.

This year Save the Children are encouraging everyone to be greener by making their own Christmas jumper, by up-cycling an old jumper by using stickers, tinsel, glitter, baubles, ribbon etc. There is no pressure for you to contribute to this event, however if you would like to, please donate via ParentPay.

School Christmas Events

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are trying to keep a lid on Christmas for as long as we can so as not to whip the children up into an excited frenzy too early!

We are looking forward to welcoming you to some of our Christmas events. Please remember we have limits on how many we are allowed to have in the hall, so make sure you have checked if tickets are required.

Mr McFarland: 1.15pm – 2.00pm

Miss Jones: 2.15pm to 3.00pm

We are keeping charging for tickets this year as a minimum, as we know times are always tight for everyone over Christmas. Year 1 & 2 have the biggest challenges in preparation as they are putting together a Nativity. We are however asking that parents of children in all other year groups to make a donation at the end of the event.

We plan to use this donation pot to go towards subsidising school trips. We really do understand that the costs of school trips can be substantial. This is why Newdale has always lowered these costs to make it more manageable for everyone.

Thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to welcoming you back into school soon.
