Halloween Event- Reminder

On 22nd October, we will be inviting your children to either dress down or wear Halloween fancy dress. We would like them to bring their costume in a bag to change into – they will need to wear school uniform before then. Please do not send in face paints, as we are not able to apply it for them. Due to restrictions, our teachers are planning lots of exciting activities that they can carry out in their classes, including Halloween arts and crafts. If your child chooses to bring in a costume on that day, please can any Halloween themed props be left at home e.g hats and masks are fine to bring in.

Covid Update 15.10.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

We continue to battle the virus in our school community and continue to rely on parents supporting us at home.

Please do not send your children into school if they are displaying Covid 19 symptoms

  • a new continuous cough
  • a high temperature
  • a loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)

You need to get a PCR test booked straight away please and let us know the result.

There has been some changes in the advice we have been given as listed here …

 

For pupils identified as household or close contacts by Test and Trace:

  • Household or close contacts of a positive cases are asked to take LFD tests daily for a period of 7 days from the start of what would have been their self-isolation period.  This is in addition to the PCR they will have been recommended to take.

This is a request and though it is not issued by law, we ask you to help us in keeping control of the virus in our school.

We are ever hopeful that the vaccine rollout in secondary schools will impact the transmission rates from older siblings to Newdale children.

Rest assured we continue to do all we can to keep your children virus free.

Newdale Families – Religion Census October 2021

We hope you have all settled back into the school routines for this academic year. My name is Miss McCullagh and this year I will be co-ordinating Religious Education at Newdale.

To help us understand more about our families, we would really like an updated picture of the different religions, beliefs and values held by the children, and families, within our Newdale community. This will support us in ensuring that our Religious Education offer is as inclusive as possible for our community.

We would be really grateful if you could spend 5 minutes completing the survey below, by Tuesday 19th October. 

Thank you in advance, for you support 😊

Year 3 Nature Walk

Year 3 had a great time on our first nature walk of the Autumn term! We explored the area around our school and discussed the names of lots of different trees. We also collected a variety of leaves, seeds and berries to look at in school next week.
