Firework fun

Today we have been talking about safety on bonfire night especially about touching hot objects such as sparklers and old fireworks. We also learnt not to touch matches and lighters and listened to the story “Francis the firefly” to help us understand.This story is available on the internet if you would like to watch it at home if you are self isolating. We have also started to make some firework art and would love you to share your bonfire pictures or celebrations with us on parent share.

Fun with the music man

We had a wonderful time singing with the music man this afternoon. We joined in with singing, making noises and moving our bodies.

Remembrance celebrations in school

Dear parents and carers,

Even though we are all having to adjust to a newer way of doing things, here at Newdale we want to continue to take part in events to help our children recognise significant occasions.

As part of Remembrance this year, each year group is going to take part in an 11/11 challenge on Wednesday 11th November 2020. The activities that each year group are planning on doing are –

Nursery Sing 11 Nursery Rhymes / Songs

Reception Take part in 11 Remembrance Activities

Year 1 Complete 11 laps of the bike road on trikes

Year 2 Run / Walk 11 laps of the bottom playground

Year 3 Dance 11 styles of dance

Year 4 Run / Walk 11 laps of the cage or field.

Year 5 Complete 11 obstacles

Year 6 Listen to 11 days of war songs

The Den Run / Walk 11 laps of the bottom playground

To help raise money to be donated to the British legion charity, we are asking that the children are sponsored £1 for their challenge. The children can drop it in the collection pot as they walk into class.

Not only will the children be taking part in the challenge, but they will also be learning more about the significance of remembrance day through lessons in their classes.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Face masks on school site

A big thank you for supporting us in wearing a face mask on the school site during drop off and pick up times.  We really hope that this additional measure will support us all in keeping everyone safe.  We are trying so hard to keep our school fully open for the benefit of all of our families.

 

Regards

Covid update

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I want to update you concerning additional measures we are putting into place with immediate effect.

 

We know that adults are the highest risk by way of transmission of the virus.

 

Despite our best efforts, many parents are not socially distancing and therefore our risk is higher.

 

In order to lower this risk factor, we are now going to be asking you to wear a face covering on our school site. This does not apply to children.

 

It would make sense that this face covering was worn from your home or car and back, but that is your decision.

 

Please ensure you have a face covering at drop off and pick up times and do not be offended if members of the school team ask you to wear one.

 

Adults in school will soon be given the option of wearing visors when they cannot maintain a social distance from each other and from groups of children.

 

I am hoping these new measures will not have to be in place for long. I will update you again, whenever the Department for Education or the Local Authority release more information for schools.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Miss Cook
