Ice Pops for sale Friday 17th June

Following on from the successful selling of the ice pops, the children from School Parliament have organised another sale this Friday, 20p per ice pop which we are limited to one ice pop per child.

I would like to thank the School Parliament members  involved, who have taken time to organise these events. The money raised goes towards the Healthy Lifestyle fund, which helps pay towards the wonderful activities the children at  Newdale  have been able to enjoy this week.

Thank you for your support.

Sickness Bug

Dear Parent/Carer

I am writing to let you know that a number of children and staff at school have had gastro-enteritis over the last few days.

I have been advised by Public Health England and the local Environmental Health Department that this is a mild illness probably caused by a virus, but that it is very infectious. The most usual symptom is vomiting. Some people may have diarrhoea and/or abdominal pain. Symptoms rarely last for more than 24 – 48 hours. The incubation period (time it takes for the illness to develop) is between 24 and 48 hours.

If your child is affected, please keep him or her off school. He or she should not return until 48 hours after the diarrhoea and vomiting have stopped.

The virus is easily spread from person to person. Good hygiene by everyone in the family reduces the risk. This means washing hands with soap and warm water after going to the toilet and before preparing or eating food.

It is important to clean up carefully when someone has been sick as vomit is very infectious. It is important to clear up spills of vomit or faeces immediately, by thorough washing of the contaminated environment with detergent and hot water. For hard surfaces, (floor, work tops etc., an additional disinfection with a dilute solution of Milton or household bleach (according to manufacturer’s instructions) will reduce the contamination. DO NOT MIX these substances with soap and water. Be sure that each family member uses separate towels and flannels which are changed and washed frequently.

Hand washing after visiting the toilet, cleaning up spillages and before handling food is the most important element of reducing the risk of infection.

We are ensuring the school is thoroughly cleaned to reduce any further risk.

If you need any further advice you can phone Public Health England Tel: 0300 303 8162 or NHS 111

Yours faithfully

9.6.22

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are really excited about all of the events we have on offer for the children this half term. Healthy Schools week runs from 13th June to the 17th June and will include all sorts of fun activities for the children including special guest visitors, bubble football and of course, our 1km a day runs!

Mrs Thomas and Mr McFarland have bravely decided to put on a Year 6 production of Peter Pan which we hope you will be able to come and enjoy. The children are already probably driving you potty learning lines and songs!

As well as the above activities please refer to the website to find out about other events we have scheduled like the Summer Fayre and Family Lunch. Many schools have not yet gone wholeheartedly into events like this since the huge impacts of Covid and we are very proud in confidently moving forward for our children.

The response we have had to the new official start time being 8.40 am has been really positive – thank you! We have been giving flexibility this week and will continue with this next week, as everyone gets used to the new system.

Dudley, our new bear stands very proudly looking over our school. He will soon lose the barrier tape around him. Please be aware that he was created by the clever use of chainsaws and hence he does have some rough edges and potential splinter threats. We will ensure children are aware of this as they play near him during school time, but need you to make sure you fully supervise children at the beginning and end of the day please.

We are a large school which is now at over full capacity with 500+ children attending. As a result of this full capacity, it does mean that the beginning and end of the day is very busy. Please can you ensure your children do not ride bikes or scooters on the school site, as there are simply too many people around (some with pushchairs) that are in danger of being hurt. We have noticed some younger children running off from parents to perhaps be first to push the pedestrian crossing button. We do ask that you keep full control of your children at these busy times of the day to avoid any accidents from happening. If you have a Blue disabled badge and have to drive onto the site at these busy times, please could you wait until the main flow of parents and children have departed before you move your vehicle (this usually only takes 5 minutes).

We have a school rule in that mobile phones cannot be used on site. This is linked to our safeguarding policy. You will be asked to turn it off immediately, if you are seen. Thankyou.

Recently some members of the Newdale team took part in the

Telford Council Charity Fun Run. We are a community school and

all staff embrace this title and join in where they can. Next year I

have been promised that many more staff will join in!

Look forward to seeing as many parents as possible at our forthcoming events…

Kind regards,

Miss Cook
