National School Meals Week – Build a Burger Competition 2024

National School Meals Week is w/c Monday 11th November.

As part of the week, Newdale will be taking part in the Build a Burger Competition.

Children are invited to enter the competition by designing their very own burger. Children need to draw a picture of their burger and alongside this write out the ingredients they have chosen. 

The winning entry will be created by our catering team and served as our hot meal option on Tuesday 12th November.

Deadline for entries is Friday 25th October and these should be brought to the school office.

Good luck everyone!

 

Curriculum governors involvement in school

Governors met yesterday as part of our Curriculum Committee. They focussed on the Special Educational Needs offer in the school and listened to the SENDco describe how the most complex needs children are supported.

Children from Year 2 to 6 attended a pupil voice session looking at the History offer. Children enjoyed sharing their history books with Governors and were able to confidently articulate their learning over time. Next time Governors look forward to hearing about our newly developed Religious Education offer.

Safeguarding, Health and Safety Committee Update

The Health and Safety Governors carried out their half termly meeting on the 3rd October. They spent time looking at the safeguarding curriculum offer and ensured the Government guidelines around Relationships and Sex Education were now in place. Governors carried out a random ‘spot check’ of staff to ensure that the staff were confident in policy and procedure around the many aspects of safeguarding within a school.
