Achievement Assembly

Friday 28th June 2024 

The weather did not disappoint again this week as we began our charity events in EYFs with their sponsored walk around the school grounds. We were so proud of the children’s efforts and Cool Cat was thoroughly impressed too! The week ended with the year 2 residential to Ironbridge. The children behaved so well and all had a brilliant time – a special thanks to all the staff members involved.  

Please remember you can donate to our Climb Against Cancer appeal using the link below.  

Newdale Primary School and Nursery is fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support (justgiving.com) 

BeSMART Cup winners who will have a special treat next week: Both Reception classes for their excellent efforts during their sponsored walk for Macmillan.  

Attendance winners this week – Gertie and Omar will join them next week in class and they will all enjoy an extra playtime:

Reception French Day Information

On Friday 5th July there will be a whole school French day for pupils from Nursery to Year 6.

 

Pupils can come into school dressed in red, white and blue or even create a costume inspired by a famous French landmark. Please participate as low-key as you would like (e.g reuse your white tops from our recent Macmillan event, or through hair ribbons etc.)

Throughout the day there will be various activities for the children to participate in, including our very own Reception ‘tour de France’ and learning the cancan dance! 😊 We will of course learn a little basic French in class too.

 

There will also be the option to have a French themed dinner which consists of quiche, ratatouille, and chocolate mousse, alongside the normal fish and chips which will be served.

If you would like to make a voluntary contribution of £2.00 to support the resources on the day, please log into parent pay.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

Lunch for Reception children on Wednesday 3rd July

On Wednesday 3rd July, Year 1-6 will be completing their Wrekin walk for MacMillan.

Due to a number of our catering staff attending the event, a hot meal option will not be available on this day.

Reception children will be required for this day only to either bring sandwiches from home or order either a ham or cheese sandwich from school.

In order for the kitchen to prepare for this, parents need to log on to ParentPay to confirm what your child will be having for lunch that day, either school or home sandwiches.

Please can we ask for you to complete this on ParentPay by Friday 28th June. The item on ParentPay is titled ‘Reception lunch order 3rd July’

 

Thank you

Wrekin Walk update

As we get closer to our charity event, Climb Against Cancer, we have a few reminders for the day:

  • Car parking charges will apply- please follow the instructions on the pay machines. There will be additional areas to park such as Ercall Woods and near the Buckatree hotel should the bottom of the Wrekin be busy.
  • Police will be in attendance and illegal parking on double yellow lines will result in penalties.
  • We recommend car sharing where possible to minimise the amount of traffic at the bottom of the Wrekin.
  • Please ensure children have sensible footwear, sunscreen, hats, a small rucksack for their lunch and a water bottle.
  • Please bring cash to buy merchandise on the day.

Reminder for T-Shirt colours:

Message to parents regarding the activity out of hours

We are writing to inform you of some recent activity that has happened, out of hours on our site.

We believe at this stage that it is probably young people trying to find something to do. Even so, it is important that our site remains private during the evenings and weekends whenever the school and nursery are closed.

We are kindly asking parents/ carers who live locally to the school to support us by keeping an eye out and reporting any usual or suspicious activity around the nursery premises especially when school is closed.

School have already reported our concerns to the local police and the business watch security teams.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Ironbridge essentials kit list

Good afternoon,

We had a few parents asking for a remind about what children needed so hopefully this will help.

Thursday- come to school dressed in pirate clothes

Bring inside a labelled carrier bag –

  • Comfy clothes to change into after pirate day – this can be shorts/tee/joggers/leggings/hoody/jacket and trainers– we will do a change from pirate clothes into these before we go to the YHA.
  • They should have with them a light, waterproof coat.
  • A sunhat

You will need to pack in a small ruck sack (something they can carry to their room)

  • A small hand towel.
  • A wash bag with soap, flannel, toothbrush and toothpaste.
  • One small teddy/ comforter if needed.
  • Pull ups if required overnight.
  • Socks and pants for Friday.
  • Casual clothing for the next day.

Please DO NOT provide your child with any of the following:

  • Sweets, unhealthy snacks, fizzy drinks –the children will have plenty to eat and drink!
  • Electronic devices, cameras or phones –they will be kept well entertained and we don’t want to lose anything valuable.
  • Medication in their bag (this must be collected prior to the trip and stored safely by the accompanying adults).
  • Money

We’re all looking forward to it and know we will have a wonderful time.

Thanks,

Mrs King

Radio Shropshire ‘Climb against Cancer’

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you will now be all aware, we are taking Years 1 – 6 to ‘climb against cancer’ on the 3rd July next week.

We hope that Radio Shropshire will attend and help us not only promote the event across Telford, but also help us capture the event through photographs and film footage.

There is a slim possibility that a team from Midlands Today or similar will also attend. This of course is dependent on what is going on nationally and with it being on the eve of a general election, they may well be busy!

I have today spoken to Telford and Wrekin communications team, who would also like to potentially come and join in the fun!

We have a small number of children who have on their record, ‘no consent’ for photos etc. If that is your child, you will soon receive a phone call from our admin team to discuss arrangements.

If you do not receive a phone call, yet believe you ticked ‘no consent’, please contact the office to discuss.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

KS1 Sports Day

Well, year 1 and 2 did not let us down with team support. I’m sure the rest of the school heard them chanting for teammates and their houses last Wednesday.

They ran, jumped and crawled their socks off! It was a close competition and we were so proud of all their efforts.

All our children loved watching parents get their competitive side out and commando roll into winning positions! Thanks for all the extra points you scored. We’re sure they contributed to the winning total.

And, there could only be one winner. A very special well done goes to the house winners…WENLOCK!

A huge thank you to Miss Jones, the crossbar team and all the additional adults who helped total points, set up races and generally organise the day. The afternoon ran incredibly smoothly thanks to your efforts.
