Friday 26th September
It has been another busy week at Newdale. On Wednesday, we welcomed parents for our first PODs ‘Cake and Cuppa’ session. There will also be two additional sessions running at a later date. On Thursday was our Grandparent’s tea party, where there was the opportunity to look at the children’s work with some tea and biscuits. Thank you for a brilliant turn out! Finally on Friday, the school was filled with colour as we celebrated European Languages Day, with the children learning about different foods, traditions and life in European countries.
