Reception Reading at home

Hi all. This week we would like the children to carry on reading books from Oxford Owl and ask please could you return any school reading books that you have at home. We will then be quarantining them ready to send some home next Monday(15th March). On Friday (12th March) we will be collecting in reading diaries in preparation for the children’s spelling test next Monday. Today we have sent a paper copy of your child’s new spellings home. If you have not received them, then please let your child’s teacher know and they can issue a new copy.

Many thanks for your continued support. The Reception Team

Welcome back Reception

Reception had such a lovely first day back. They loved having some time to catch up with friends and play together. We were especially lucky to have forest schools for our first day back too! We enjoyed time in the forest area exploring in the fresh air, burning off energy running around the field and even each planted our own sunflower!  🌻 Watch this space and we will update you as they start to grow 🌱

Please see below for a selection of pictures from our day. Sorry if we didn’t manage to capture every single child, but hopefully you received our little update on the Evidence Me app today to let you know they were all ok ☺️

A fantastic first day back for Year 1…

Year 1 have made us SO proud today! It was so lovely to see how excited they all were to see their friends. They have really enjoyed having a catch-up and settling back into the school routine – it really was like they have never been away! Today, we started our Life Learning unit on ‘Britain’ and thought about ways we can make our school community happy. In Maths, we continued with our work on sharing.

Well done Year 1 – we knew you would all have a brilliant first day back! We are so looking forward to the rest of the term 😊😊

Welcome Back Year 1!

We cannot wait to see you all tomorrow, Year 1! We hope you are excited to get back into your classrooms… we are really looking forward to seeing all of your smiley faces! 😊

Just a couple of reminders about our timetable in Year 1…

PE will be on Wednesdays (outdoor) and Thursdays (indoor). Please come to school dressed in PE kit on these days.

Forest School will be on Tuesdays. We are going to ask that children come to school wearing their outdoor clothes, rather than coming in school uniform and getting changed (as we have done in the past).  Please bring just wellies and raincoats/ overalls in a bag to put on top of their warm, outdoor clothes when it is time to go to Forest School.

Please don’t forget to bring your school reading books into school tomorrow and remember that you must bring a water bottle every day! 😊

See you all tomorrow!

The Year 1 Team.

Message from Miss Cook 5.3.21

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Just a quick message to thank you all for your support with our online learning.

 

I am very proud of the Newdale team for working flat out in generating such a comprehensive offer.

 

All teaching will resort to ‘face to face’ from Monday and as a result all online learning will cease.

 

We have had some lovely messages thanking the team for their efforts. These messages mean a great deal to them so thank you.

 

We are all looking forward to welcoming the children back. Reassure them that we will be giving them time to catch up with their friends and that they will easily slot back into their normal routines.

 

Have a great weekend everyone.

 

Miss Cook

Music Videos- Details on Google Classroom

Oh What a Year! Music Video

Mr Wilcox is beginning to collect and edit the videos for a fabulous music video involving children from Year 4, 5 and 6, but he needs your help! All you need to do is video yourself singing along to the video. You could choose a verse, belt the chorus, or smash the rap. If you are really ambitious, you could sing the whole song along to the backing track.
If you have not done so already, please send your video to your year group’s email address. Ours is newdale.year4team@taw.org.uk.

For your chance to appear in a music video, get your videos in by 6pm on Wednesday 10th March 2021.
