Over the last few days we have had a number of cases of head lice. Could we please remind parents to check and treat if necessary. If your child has long hair we would ask that you ensure this is tied up.

See below link on advice on how to check and treat.

The importance of hygiene 

Personal hygiene is the most important way we can tackle COVID-19, especially washing hands more; and the catch it, bin it, kill it strategy for those with coughs and sneezes.  

Wash your hands more often for 20 seconds with soap and hot water 

In addition to handwashing before eating, and after coughing and sneezing, both children and staff should also wash hands after using toilets and travelling on public transport. 

In line with this Newdale will increase the amount of handwashing the children undertake in school to help with the current situation.

On top of what they should be doing (washing hands after going to the toilet/before lunch/when dirty through forest school/class activity etc) ALL CHILDREN are to wash their hands on entry to the classroom in the morning, after playtime and also after lunch.

On Friday 13^th March we are excited to be supporting Sports Relief.

We are holding a mini event for a few children, along with three schools on The Wrekin.  If your child has been selected you will receive a letter with further information.

For the rest of the school and nursery, we are inviting children to dress in sports wear for a donation.

During the day we will be holding various fun sports events for the children and adults to take part in. Events will include a 1k run, inflatable goals in the hall, ‘stop everything and dance’ along with extra sport lessons. 

We know your children enjoy the events we have planned!

Thank you for your continued support.
