Nursery’s sports day

Due to the weather today and nursery’s sports day still going ahead.
Please May we remind you to bring in your child’s water bottle, sunscreen applied and supplied. Sensible footwear, clothing and a name in their sun hat. And especially a Water bottle to come in with them. We will be taking drinks up with us and shaded areas for the children will be provided.
There might be a little cheeky water pistol for cooling down too.
See you soon

Water Safety

With the weather warming up and the temptation to go for walks and play outdoors, often looking for spots to keep cool, the risks near water for children can increase.

We know how excited children get by the water but standing too close to the edge can be dangerous. Please look at the attached link with the SAFE message, to Stay Away From the Edge.

It’s never too early to start talking to your children about staying safe near water.

Talk to your children when you’re out and about near water, whether you’re walking or cycling, out on a trip to feed the ducks or look at the boats.

There is a fantastic video and song to help your child learn about water safety and even a downloadable free story book with lovely pictures.

Safeguarding, Health & Safety Governors Involvement

The Health & Safeguarding committee met in school on Tuesday of this week. They spent a lot of time looking carefully at the policy and advice around Martyn’s Law linked to site security and terrorism. Governors observed a whole school and nursery drill that loosely replicated what a lock down would be. Governors look forward to hearing feedback from a professional who is going to assess the Newdale site and feedback any points for development linked to security. Governors carried out their regular ‘spot check’ of staff to reassure themselves that the staff at Newdale are well trained and confident in knowing what to do should any safeguarding issues arise.

Thank you

A massive thank you to everyone that contributed and brought from our cake stall yesterday we raised a whopping amount of money £135 👏🥳

French Day – Friday 4th July

We are excited to announce our upcoming whole-school French day which will be on Friday 4th July  for pupils from Nursery to Year 6. This event has been designed to immerse pupils in the French language and culture through fun and engaging activities.

 

Pupils can come into school dressed in red, white and blue or even create a costume inspired by a famous French landmark. Throughout the day there will be various activities for the children to participate with including, cooking, handball, pétanque, Farandole (a traditional Provence dance) and much more.

 

Learning a language goes beyond vocabulary- it opens minds, builds confidence and encourages global awareness. By celebrating France, we help children develop a deeper appreciation for diversity and strengthen their language skills in an enjoyable way.

 

There will also be the option to have a French themed dinner which consists of quiche, ratatouille, and chocolate mousse, alongside the normal fish and chips which will be served.

 

If you would like to make a voluntary contribution of £2.00 to support the resources on the day, please log into parent pay.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Farm trip

Thank you for all your patience and help in advance.
