Safeguarding, Health & Safety Governors Committee

Governors from the Health and Safety committee met last week. They were delighted to hear that the children from Year 3, 4 and 5 talked so confidently about E Safety and what do if they felt uncomfortable about something online.

They were reassured that the Health and Safety policy and procedure across Early Years is robust.

Governors again put a spotlight over the induction procedures and were happy that a newly appointed member of the Newdale team spoke confidently about the process and the impact it has had on her first few weeks at our school.

Governors look forward to talking to more children and staff next half term.

Reception European Day Message

On Tuesday 26th Reception will be learning about Italy!

Children are invited to come in wearing colours of the Italian flag (Green, white and red).  Please wear comfortable footwear, such as trainers, so that your child can join in PE as usual. They will not need to wear or bring in additional PE kit for this day.

Curriculum Governors Committee Update

The Curriculum Governors met yesterday and were super impressed with the amount of work carried out by staff and pupils in such a short space of time since the start of the term.

A selection of KS 2 SEND mathematicians came to share their books and views on how they have started the year. They all love maths and their books looked amazing!

Governors were very impressed with the amount of work completed by the new music lead since she took up this role in September. They were excited to see the impact on the children’s enjoyment linked to music.

Governors approved the equality targets for 2023-2024 and encourage parents/carers to look at this on the website.

Governors had a detailed update from the SENDco and were impressed with the action plan and future plans around parental communication linked to SEND.

European Day in Reception

On Tuesday 26th Reception will be learning about Italy!

Children are invited to come in wearing colours of the Italian flag (Green, white and red).

 

We will learn where the country is, about their language and have some fantastic Italian themed activities for the day.

Reminder for next week

A reminder children in Reception classes are allowed to bring in one named toy (no electronic devices please) on Tuesday as part of a special show and tell session! 🧸

Details were sent out in reading diaries earlier this week.

Thank you 😊

Well done Reception 👏🏻 🌟

We would like to say a huge well done to all the new Reception children for completing their first full week of school. ⭐️
They have worked so hard and have settled in well to the new routines of school. We have loved getting to know everybody. We can imagine some big yawns tonight at bedtime! 🥱
Have a wonderful, well-deserved rest over the weekend and we look forward to hearing about your weekend on Monday.
The Reception Team 😊

Book covers

We have a number of children who have not completed front covers for their books (drawing their favourite book characters and then writing what the story is)

Please can these be completed with children at home as soon as possible.

Many thanks
