Yr5 PE dates

Good afternoon,

Sorry for the confusion regarding PE days. They were on the move up information that was sent home but the website page had failed to update.

This week children will need PE kits on Friday.

Weeks 2-4 Both classes will have PE Thursdays and Fridays. Mr Jackson’s class will have swimming for the Friday PE slot – please remember swimming costume/shorts, a towel and swimming goggles (snorkling goggles are not allowed).

Weeks 5-8 Both classes will have PE Tuesdays and Fridays. Mr Jackson’s class will still have swimming.

Below is a timetable that hopefully makes it clear:

PE kits Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8
Crossbar PE Tuesday Thursday Thursday Thursday Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday
Friday PE Both classes
PE Kits		 Mr Jackson’s—Swimming
Mrs King’s —Outdoor athletics		 Both classes PE kits.

The reason for the change is because year 5 will luckily be getting some expert hockey coaching weeks 2-4. Mrs King’s class will have swimming at another date.

KS2 Football after school club

Our KS2 football after school club has once again proved very popular for this half term and was at capacity the following morning after going live.

Due to the popularity of the club we are offering an additional KS2 football club this half term.

This extra club will take place on a Wednesday and will be open for Years 3,4, 5 & 6.

The club will go live on ParentPay today around 7pm.

Next half term (from November 2024) we will be offering two football after school clubs for KS2, one for Year 3 & 4 on Wednesday’s and the second for Year 5 & 6 on Thursday’s.  We will monitor the demand for the second KS2 football club to see if we continue the offer in the new year.

This Friday, both classes will have outdoor P.E. In weeks 2, 3 and 4, outdoor P.E will be on Thursday due to a Hockey coach coming in to teach the children.

From the second week, Mr Jackson’s class will have Swimming on a Friday and Mrs King’s class will have outdoor P.E on a Friday. We will send out information when this will swap over.

Kind regards

Welcome to Year 1

Year 1 you have been a delight to have back in school. We have had a lovely first day at school and have enjoyed exploring our new classroom and outdoor area as well as taking part in our first Gymnastics session and a lovely art lesson. What a super start to the term. We can tell we are going to have a super year together.

Welcome back

It was so lovely welcoming our children and families back to Newdale. The children have all had a great start to the year already.  Thank you for your patience at drop off as the children entered their new classrooms.

Due to the construction work, any bikes and scooters can be kept in the bike shelters by forest school for the time being.

We have noticed a few children with holiday hair braids in. We kindly ask that these are to be removed by next week.

Many thanks

Miss Cook

Reception Message

Good evening,

You will have seen the update about the building work being completed on site at school currently. This work does mean that the outside play area of Reception has had to move many items out of the area whilst the work is being completed.

Please bear with us, and we will have the outside area back up to its usual standard as soon as we can. In the meantime, we will be making use of the immediate area outside our classrooms and bringing across the resources as we need them, as well as making use of the playground and jungle gym.

Climb Against Cancer update

We just wanted to give you a quick update on our ‘Climb for Cancer’ fundraiser. We are delighted with the donations so far and are excited to see what the final amount will be; we are on track to reach our target. On Friday 27th September, we will be holding a Macmillan Grandparents’ Tea Party as a final celebratory event. Following this event, we will announce the final amount which we have raised as a school and community. More information on timings and how to purchase tickets will be shared shortly with you all.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Miss Cook

Site Access

 

 Dear Parents/Carers,

I have now completed a site walk and can update you concerning access.

The top gate and top car park will remain closed as the work is completed. We anticipate this to be for approximately 4 weeks.

The main gate and the gate by the Year 6 classrooms will be open. We are also temporarily opening the double gates to the rear of the reception outdoor play area.

This will mean that we have a route open that goes right around the school and therefore everyone will be able to get where they need to be.

Teachers and Teaching Assistants will be visible to help with finding the correct classes. We will also have a good number of other staff outside to assist.

With the top car park being out of action, we are going to have to prioritise staff parking on site for this short time. This will mean our visitor car park will mainly be full of staff cars. We are leaving the 3 disabled spaces free and the 3 spaces next to them free for our visitors and for blue badge holders.

We are concerned about breakfast club drop off time as we know this is a time that this car park is used significantly. Please make alternative arrangements if you can for this short period of time. It is unavoidable and I can assure you that the contractors are working really hard to finish the work as quickly as they can.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Miss Cook
