Nursery’s graduation and end of term party 🎉

Graduation and end of term party 🎉
We had a blast and my oh my was it a busy two day party !
The children started the day off by having a photoshoot and showing of their outfits.
Then we had fun and games, colouring competition and dancing in the hall. We have some very impressive movers!
Dance battle was won by the boys 👏🏻🎉 well deserved I must say. The dancing must have given them an appetite as they all loved a ray of party food.

It’s not over yet as we are open on Monday ready for the teddy bear picnic, but we do very soon have to say goodbye to all of our leavers as the embark on to another adventure in their life’s.
Your children have been a pleasure to teach, watching them grow and learn is pure joy!
From Mrs Giordano and all of the team we will miss you lots, good luck little ones go conquer the world ❤️

Nursery Family Lunch

13th July 2023

 

Dear Parent / Carer

Nursery Family Lunch Wednesday 19th July

Following on from our successful Family Lunches we have decided to continue these events with a Nursery Family Lunch on Wednesday 19th July.  Parents/carers of children who stay for lunch in Mighty Oaks and Ladybugs on a Wednesday are welcome to come along and eat lunch with their child in the nursery.  A hot lunch is not available for parents to order, we ask that you bring in your own packed lunch from home. Please do not bring in takeaways.  A hot lunch is still available for your nursery child to order in the normal way.

We ask that you arrive to have lunch with your child in the nursery at 11.30am.  If you would like to collect your child from nursery to eat lunch with their sibling/s in school could you also pick them up at 11.30am.  Entry for the Mighty Oaks lunch is via the nursery garden (next to the school hall), for Ladybugs it is at the usual entrance for dropping off and collecting.

 

Kind regards

 

Newdale Nursery

Dear Parent/Carers,

We would like to update you with regards to staffing in the Nursery from September.

 

We must inform you that Mrs Curnow will be sadly leaving Newdale at the end of this academic year.

Mrs Curnow has been a very valued member of our team for 9+  years and we know she will be missed by both the children, staff and families.

I know you will join us in wishing Mrs Curnow every success in her future.

We have been busy looking at our staffing structure and can assure you that the high-quality provision will continue in Mrs Curnow’s absence.

We will be welcoming Mrs Pablos into the team as the new Nursery teacher from September. Many of you will already know that Mrs Pablos is a current experienced teacher at Newdale and has already been busy working in Nursery to ensure a seamless transition.

We will also have the following staff changes:

Miss Mellisa Hodgetts will be moving from our Ladybugs room to work in the Reception classes from September.

We will welcome Mrs Kay Hawley who currently works in Year 2, to work in Ladybugs in her place.

Nursery’s Cake stall

🧁Thank you for all the cake donations and to those who brought cakes from our stall today.
It was a great success and we were sold out by 3:40 !! 🍰
All money raised will go towards new resources for our nursery.
It was wonderful seeing you all there having lots of fun. Thankfully the weather was on our side ! ☀️

Governors involvement within school

Governors from the Finance & Personnel met yesterday and were thankful to a Grandma of a child in reception who came to talk through the induction process. She reflected positively in that the induction process is personal to each child. She felt the information she gained before her granddaughter started school was clear and concise.

A cross section of children came to talk to governors about their understanding of British values and the BeSMART code. Children could confidently articulate their understanding and how the values relate to their life, school and wider community.

Governors met with the After School Club lead and was reassured that the range of activities and snacks on offer is of high quality. Governors were happy that the After School Club with continue to facilitate trips and events in and outside of school. They approved more investment into new resources for the club.
