Friday 4th April 2025
This week, we have loved enjoying the sunshine during our break and lunchtimes. We certainly hope this weather continues so that you can continue playing outside over the weekend. On Monday, Year 4 were out on another trip – visiting the local library and town park. Year 6 visited The Telford Langley School to enjoy a performance of Matilda and Year 5 made the most of the weather by completing their Spring nature walk. Year 2 have also really impressed this week with their excellent independent writing during Chance to Shine.
BeSMART Cup winners who will have a special treat next week:
Mrs Everall’s class for representing Newdale brilliantly on our recent trips and when we have had visitors in school.
House Points
With only one week to go, Ironbridge remain in the lead. However, we have two inter-house sports competitions next week in Years 3 and 4. The winning house in each competition will be awarded 100 house points (following by 75 for third place, 50 for second and 25 for fourth). It is still all to play for!
