Update

18.7.22

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are constantly monitoring the weather apps and adapting our offer accordingly.

As the peak has remained at 3 – 4 o’clock, we are cancelling the Crossbar outdoor football club today and tomorrow.

All classrooms will remain open at play and lunchtime to provide shade. We are also opening up forest school which has fabulous natural shade. Mr Thomas is busy putting up our gazebos to increase our shade options.

We are going ahead with our family lunch but may bring the times forward a touch. More information to follow. We do suggest that you bring in an umbrella if you have one, as these will offer you some shade. Please don’t arrive way in advance as of course, that would leave you waiting outside in the sunshine for longer than is necessary.

Staff are aware of the need for extra precautions and will ensure all children in their care drink plenty of water etc

Just when we think the massive pressures of Covid have left us, mother nature hits us with another challenge to deal with.

As ever, we will do our very best for our school community.

We have purchased lifelong recycled plastic benches at £615 each.

Thank you for attending the fayre and spending your hard-earned pounds and pennies.

Kind regards,

Stem week

In nursery this week we have being concentrating on Stem. .

What is stem, Stem is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. We did array of activities from experiments to physical challenges with a little bit of magical sparkle.

Family Lunch

13.7.22

Family Lunch

Dear Parents/Carers,

Our termly Family lunch is finally returning after three years. The closing date for booking a hot school lunch has gone, however you can still join in and bring your own sandwiches.  We politely ask that you do not bring in Macdonald’s, Burger King, fizzy pop etc.

School Menu (We have to plan a menu that is easily transportable!)

Burger, wedges beans and peas

Vegetarian option Quorn burger

Vegan option Vegan Burger

Biscuit selection or cupcakes

Nursery Family lunch will start at 11.20am, please make your way to the main office where the Nursery staff will take you to collect your lunch and then join your child in the Nursery.  This event is for our children who attend Nursery on a Tuesday lunchtime.

School Family lunch will start at 11.45. Please make your way to the main office.

Parents who have booked a lunch will be asked to queue outside on the left-hand side (staff will issue you with your pre booked ticket which you will have booked via ParentPay).

Those parents who are bringing their own lunch, please queue on the right.

Parent’s will be asked to make their way to their child’s classroom to collect their child first (don’t worry we will have Year 6 children to guide you if you are unsure of where to go).  Parents and children will then be asked to make their way down the corridor into the hall to collect lunches, please then exit out of the school hall by the stairs (don’t worry your child will know which way to go!).  You are then free to return to your child’s classroom or to make your way outside and enjoy the sunshine (fingers crossed). Perhaps bring a picnic blanket to sit on the grass.

We apologise in advance for any queues that may occur. They usually go down very quickly as we have additional staff working in the kitchen to support this event.

Unfortunately, there will be no parking on site for this event unless you are a blue badge holder.  Please remember that we have a no mobile phone policy on site, they will need to be turned off and kept in pockets or handbags for the duration of the event.

The event will run up until 1.00pm.  We are very much looking forward to welcoming you all back into Newdale. Needless to say, if you are feeling under the weather with possible symptoms of the new variant, then please cancel and stay away.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook
