Friday 27th September 

It has been another busy week at Newdale! This week saw the arrival of Cool Cat, who was very excited to meet and greet the children, as well as a visit from the Mayor to our KS2 assembly. On Thursday, the children took part in a variety of activities including food tasting, art, flag making and music as part of European Languages Day. We have also been celebrating British Values Week and so our assembly this week is themed around our ‘Citizens of the Week.’

Please note that KS1 children had their assembly in their classrooms this week and so are not featured in the photograph. 

BeSMART Cup winners who will have a special treat next week:  

Cool Cat has awarded his attendance award to Miss Fisher’s class for an amazing 99.5% attendance.

The BeSMART cup also goes to Mrs Churm’s class for displaying great behaviour during play times this week.
