King Charles Coronation celebrations

What a great way to start off the bank holiday weekend with celebrations for our King Charles.
The children have had a very busy day/ week getting ready for today. They’ve been creating and baking from biscuit decorating to making crowns and flags.
The colours Red, White and Blue where wore to represent our uk flag, party music was played for dancing and we had a very traditional tea party 🎉 🍰
Here’s to our King Long may he reign. 👑

School Parliament Crisp Packet Project

As part of our constitution school parliament members discuss ideas for charities to support and help raise funds in school and the local community. This term school parliament members have voted to support the Crisp Packet Project. This is a world wide project that is dedicated to giving life to one use plastics and helping people living on the street, who have nothing. The charity makes survival items for the homeless, such as survival sheets/blankets, wash bags, draw string bags, sleeping bags, cushions, dog beds and more, out of used, washed crisp packets.

We are asking our school community to help support this charity by bringing in your used, washed crisp packets. There will be a donation box for the crisp packets in main school office reception area, along with a box in Pastoral office.

All you have to do is;

  1. First eat your crisps and enjoy!
  2. Take your crisp packet and a pair of scissors (ask an adult to help you) and cut down one edge.
  3. Gently pull the bottom edge open
  4. Now your crisp packet is open and flat
  5. Wash your crisp packet with warm soapy water
  6. Leave to dry – please keep flat
  7. Bring in to the collection box in school.

Only packets with silver lining will be used and any sized packs and multipacks can be used too.

For more information and easy to follow instructions and videos you can go to the website www.crisppacketproject.com

School parliament thank you for your support and we look forward to receiving your crisp packets!

Cool Cat visit Nursery

Nursery had a special visitor this week😻
Cool Cat has been popping along bright and early everyday, even to breakfast club! I think he smelt the milk.
And the children couldn’t have been more happier to see him with cuddles, high fives and a cheeky little pat on the head well done.

It’s certainly prompted the children to come into school and nursery on time.
One parent said ” she’s ran all the way here today trying to catch this Cool Cat, normally I have to carry her half the way ”

Thank you for getting them to nursery on time we know it’s not always easy to get them up and out the house.

Have a lovely Bank holiday weekend and we’ll see you all bright and early on Tuesday ❤️

King’s Coronation Friday 5th May

On Friday 5th May 2023 we will be celebrating the King’s Coronation. All children are invited to attend school wearing red, white and blue. The kitchen will be serving traditional fish and chips along with cake and special cake toppers.

 During next week, each class will be producing a work of art celebrating King Charles III.

 We hope the children will remember this very important occasion.

The party animal man

What a lovely welcome back treat this was for nursery, a little visit from
‘The party animal man ‘ who was absolutely fantastic !
He talked to the children all about the importance of not being frightened of these animals and insects, how to look after them and where in the world they are from. Most if not all of the children were keen to stroke and handle them, which really impressed Simon. He was very surprised to how eager and caring they were towards the animals he brought along with him, and my did he bring a verity! From cockroaches, chinchillas, bearded dragon, Spiders, frogs and probably the biggest snake I’ve handled, so heavy!

Simon wasn’t the only one impressed this week, our whole team were with our new little starters in Mighty Oaks who have settled right in. We appreciate your patience with us on such a busy week but I do hope by now you have met your child’s key workers. If not please do not hesitate to ask to meet them at the gate if you’re unsure to who this may be.

All relevant information and messages about up coming events and important dates to remember will be posted on here, our main website
( Newdale school ) over text or on our message board outside the entrance.

Thank you again and I can’t wait for a new exciting summer term looking at the over arching theme of
‘ under the sea ‘ 🌊🐬🐠⛴
