Achievement Assembly

Friday 26th June 2026 

This week, we have been so proud of the children’s resilience and adapting to change – especially in the sweltering temperatures! Not only have there been lots of water fights and time in the shade, on Tuesday, Year 3 and 4 children represented Newdale amazingly during the Telford Maths Championships. They showed great teamwork throughout and loved every single second of solving such tricky problems! Well done everyone. On Wednesday, classes across the school spent the whole day creating brilliant landscapes and portraits using a wide variety of skills including painting, sketching, collage and sculpture. A huge thanks to Ironbridge Fine Arts (Archie and Oscar’s parents) who worked with years 1-4 to print self-portraits using drinks cartons and to Mrs Everall for organising another brilliant Art Day!

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.

Reminder – What’s App Issues

Dear Parents and Carers,

We would like to draw your attention to some ongoing concerns regarding children’s use of digital devices outside of school. Recently, we have become aware of large WhatsApp groups involving our pupils. This has unfortunately led to issues such as inappropriate language being used and a high number of disagreements.

As you may know, WhatsApp has a minimum age requirement of 13. Children in primary school are often not yet ready to use such apps responsibly, which is why these restrictions are in place. Despite our Year 6 teams speaking with pupils about online safety and the age limits for apps like WhatsApp, the problem continues.

We kindly ask that you regularly review your child’s online activity and talk with them about how they are using digital platforms. Your support in reinforcing these messages at home is invaluable.

When issues arise outside of school, they can take up significant time during the school day, time that should be focused on learning. By working together, we can help ensure that children remain safe online and fully engaged whilst in school.

Thank you for your continued support.

Year 6’s Water Battle

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Children can bring their water pistols from home for tomorrow afternoon’s water battle. If your child is attending after-school club, they will need a change of clothes.

Thank you,

The Year 6 Team
