Y4 Trip Update – Thursday 30th January 2020

Y4 Trip Update – Thursday 30th January 2020

Black Country Living Museum

We will be leaving school at 8:50am and will be returning to school at 3:10pm. Please ensure that your child is in school for an earlier time of 8:30am so that we can leave on time.

Children will need to wear their school uniform on the trip. As some of the museum is outdoor (similar to Blists Hill), children will need to wear appropriate footwear (trainers/walking shoes), and wear a warm, waterproof coat. Hats, gloves and scarfs are also advisable given the current weather.

Children will need to bring a packed lunch as well as a bottle of water. Please can these be in a plastic bag with your child’s name on so that they can be easily thrown away afterwards.

Many thanks

The Year 4 team

Sporting achievement board

Lots of children take part in some wonderful, varied sports outside of school and we would love for them to celebrate their achievements with the other children and staff (no matter how big or small).  Mrs Goodwin has been busy creating an achievement board where children can share certificates, pictures or medals with a small write up about the event.  If you would like to send anything into school to be included, you can either pass on to the class teacher, or e-mail us at newdale.primary@taw.org.uk

Many thanks

Our first music lesson of 2020 🎵

The Great Fire of London!

We have had a wonderful morning launching our new topic; ‘The Great Fire of London’. We learned about the event and acted it out in small groups. We have started some fire artwork… take a look at our painting so far. We will show you our masterpieces next week!

Can you remember why the fire spread so quickly?

The Great Fire of London 🔥
