Parent/Carer Survey Autumn 2020

We would like to thank all of the parents in school and nursery who completed a parent survey this year. We were delighted to receive back over 250 surveys this year! Each survey has been read and we really value your thoughts and opinions. Once feedback has been discussed with all staff, we will share with you our next steps as a school.

The winners of the £50 Asda vouchers are:
Harley (Year 6)
Tiana (Year 1)
Coby (Ladybugs)

Vouchers will be given out by the end of the week.

Many thanks for taking the time to complete a survey, your views are important to us.

Our Remembrance Day

Today we had lots of fun learning about why Remembrance Day is so important . We have been making poppies, doing some marching, singing songs, and held a 2 minute silence. Thank you for your donations.

Junk modelling in Reception

We have had lots of fun  this afternoon taking part in junk modelling week. Not everyone was able to have a turn today. The rest of the class will be having a go on Thursday. Here are some of our creations so far.

Music with Mr Wilcox

Reception were very lucky to have their first wonderful music session with our specialist music teacher, Mr Wilcox. They absolutely loved joining in and are looking forward to the next lesson (which they will be having every Wednesday this half term ☺️)

Bonfire Night 🔥 Art in Reception.

Reception have been busy learning about the reasons why people celebrate Bonfire night this week. They then created some beautiful firework pictures using pastels and chalks.

Remembrance celebrations in school

Dear parents and carers,

Even though we are all having to adjust to a newer way of doing things, here at Newdale we want to continue to take part in events to help our children recognise significant occasions.

As part of Remembrance this year, each year group is going to take part in an 11/11 challenge on Wednesday 11th November 2020. The activities that each year group are planning on doing are –

Nursery Sing 11 Nursery Rhymes / Songs

Reception Take part in 11 Remembrance Activities

Year 1 Complete 11 laps of the bike road on trikes

Year 2 Run / Walk 11 laps of the bottom playground

Year 3 Dance 11 styles of dance

Year 4 Run / Walk 11 laps of the cage or field.

Year 5 Complete 11 obstacles

Year 6 Listen to 11 days of war songs

The Den Run / Walk 11 laps of the bottom playground

To help raise money to be donated to the British legion charity, we are asking that the children are sponsored £1 for their challenge. The children can drop it in the collection pot as they walk into class.

Not only will the children be taking part in the challenge, but they will also be learning more about the significance of remembrance day through lessons in their classes.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Miss Cook
