Fun in the sun

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are so lucky to have a continuation of the lovely, sunny weather this week.

Please ensure you apply sun lotion to your child before they come into school (School staff are not allowed to apply sun lotion) and make sure they have a named water bottle to keep hydrated.

It is also a good idea to send them in with a hat (again please put a name label in it!).

We have opened up some classrooms to allow children the option to come into school at lunchtime should they get too hot.

We never complain about the sun but do understand that rising temperatures can come with warnings that we have to abide by.

Please help us, to help your children feel comfortable in school this week.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

ASC Homework offer

Dear Parents/Carers of children who attend After School Club,

We are delighted to be able to offer wrap-a-round care at our school, so that working parents can have the flexibility they need.

We want to let you know that during every slot for After School Club, there will be opportunity for the children to complete homework including spellings, reading and topic linked activities.

It maybe that you would rather that homework was completed at home with you and of course that is fine. We will not be forcing children to do their homework but will be asking them each day if they would like to have time to get it done.

Clearly the team will not be able to carry out larger pieces of homework with them e.g. making a castle, but they will be able to support with daily homework.

Please talk to your children about this option, as it will be up to them and we will not force them.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Art Day in Reception

On Friday it was Art Day at Newdale.

As part of our exciting Art Day activities, Reception have been learning about the artist Bridget Riley. We looked at the type of art work Bridget Riley produced and how it is mainly optical illusions. We looked at how optical illusions are where ‘we see something more in a picture that looks quite simple at first’. We looked at lots of different examples of optical illusions created by Bridget Riley and then worked collaboratively to create our own class ‘op art’. We linked our artwork to the United Kingdom and created a map of the UK in the style of Bridget Riley. We used different shades of green paint to create our land and different shades of blue paint to create our ocean using dots/ circles and lines to create the effect.

When we weren’t creating our map of the UK we created our own art work using a range of different media. We have had such a fun, messy day!

Our art work is still drying at the moment but we will share a photo of the finished ‘masterpiece’ next week once it is dry and put together. Here are a few photos of us busy creating it in the meantime…

Art Day in Reception 🎨

We loved art day today. Everyone dressed for the occasion.
We learnt about the British artist Bridget Riley and then created a masterpiece inspired by her style. We loved looking at her artwork. It played tricks on our eyes and some made us feel dizzy! We also enjoyed time to paint freely. Such a fun day.
