We are very excited to have the Farm on wheels visit nursery and reception on the afternoon of Tuesday 30th November.

E-Safety Top Tip – Friendship Week

This week is Friendship week (also known as anti-bullying week).  The theme for this year is ‘One Kind Word’ and we will be talking about how to start a ripple of kindness.

It is vital that children using the Internet understand the importance of being kind online.  You could share this video with your child, which helps to explain why we should be kind online.

If you need more support or guidance with online safety please contact a staff member or send us an email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk

E-Safety top tip – World Kindness Day!

Sea legs theatre’s puppet show

What a treat! We were all very lucky today to have Rob Ashman come visit us from the Sea leg Theatre with the show little Bo peep. He started the show of nicely with some nursery rhymes and began to make Bo peep a cake for her 4th birthday. Of course along the way he came across some cheeky characters like the mouse trying to steal away the ingredients.

Ask your children if they can remember parts of the show and the other puppets name’s, it was very funny. Thank you Rob for joining us today hope to see you again soon.

Please see the link below for a trailer of the show.

Remembrance Day

Mighty Oaks have been showing their support and thanks to all the men and lady’s that worked so hard for our country long ago. We started by making soldiers love heart biscuits then they all made their very own poppies to take home.

Their dreams became your tomorrow’s

Red riding hood

Next week, in mighty oaks, the children will be learning all about Red riding hood.  As part of this mini theme we would love to share photo’s of your child’s grandparents.  Please could you send in a photograph of them via the evidence me app, or if you prefer print one to send in.

Thank you very much for your support

Nursery ‘Winter Wonderland’

Christmas plans!

Dear parents / carers,

Our Basecamp at the area at the front of school will be turned into a ‘Winter Wonderland’ experience. We have asked the elves to start planning this wonderful event!

We will be inviting Ladybugs, Mighty Oaks and children who do not normally attend the Nursery on a Tuesday to visit the Winter Wonderland experience, each child will be allowed to invite one adult to accompany them – this may be any adult you would like to attend. We know that some parents will be disappointed as only one adult can attend per child, but we have to play it as safely as we can in order to protect children and staff as we approach the Christmas holiday. Please can we ask that you stick to one adult so that we can manage numbers safely.  The experience will last approximately half an hour.  Which will include ‘a Christmas sing a long’. There will be a small gift for every child. We will be offering hot chocolate and a festive treat to all who attend and only ask that you bring your own mug for your and your child (we are doing our bit for the environment!) and make a donation which this year is going towards purchases for the All Nations Community Grocery  communitygrocery.org.uk/telford 

On the day of the experience, children will be invited to come to Nursery in their Christmas jumpers / hats – you are more than welcome to get into the spirit too!

The date for the Nursery visit is Tuesday 7th December.  Information regarding time  slots for your child will be sent home this week.

We will be watching the weather forecast closely and we hope that the weather is on our side! Likewise, we will be monitoring the situation with regards to covid and following all recommended guidance. Should we need to make any changes, we will try to let you know as soon as possible.

We hope that you will be able to join us in celebrating Christmas this year.

Kind regards

Christmas plans!

Dear parents / carers,

We are now on the Christmas countdown, and we wanted to let you know of how we intend to celebrate Christmas this year. It has been a while since we were able to plan anything and even though we are unsure of what the situation with Covid will be by the end of term, we wanted to share with you our plans.

Our Basecamp at the area at the front of school will be turned into a ‘Winter Wonderland’ experience. We have asked the elves to start planning this wonderful event!

We will be inviting one class at a time to visit the Winter Wonderland experience and each child will be allowed to invite one adult to accompany them – this may be any adult you would like to attend. We know that some parents will be disappointed as only one adult can attend per child, but we have to play it as safely as we can in order to protect children and staff as we approach the Christmas holiday. Please can we ask that you stick to one adult so that we can manage numbers safely.  The experience will last approximately one hour, with the exception of our Nursery classes, which will be approximately half an hour.  Activities will include carol singing and an activity which you and your child can share. There will be a small gift for every child in the class. We will be offering hot chocolate and a festive treat to all who attend and only ask that you bring your own mug for your and your child (we are doing our bit for the environment!) and make a donation which this year is going towards purchases for the All Nations Community Grocery  communitygrocery.org.uk/telford 

On the day of the experience, children will be invited to come to school in their Christmas jumpers / hats – you are more than welcome to get into the spirit too!

The dates and times for each class are as follows –

Nursery will be taking part in this event along with the school, but dates and times will be advertised separately on the nursery website page.

We will be watching the weather forecast closely and we hope that the weather is on our side! Likewise, we will be monitoring the situation with regards to covid and following all recommended guidance. Should we need to make any changes, we will try to let you know as soon as possible.

We hope that you will be able to join us in celebrating Christmas this year.
