Year 3 Circus Fun!

Year 3 had lots of fun during our Splats Circus lesson today!

We began by throwing and catching colourful scarves, before learning how to balance bean bags on our bodies. After lots of practice, we were soon able to use two bean bags to juggle!

We can’t wait to have more fun with the circus again tomorrow!

Bike to School Week 2021 27th September and 1st October

Bike to school week is taking place between 27th September and the 1st October 2021.

It’s a great opportunity to celebrate cycling and scooting and the positive impact it has on children’s health and wellbeing as well as the environment.

We are very lucky to have bike sheds here at school and would like to encourage as many families as we can to bike or scoot to school that week. It is hoped that by biking to school, pupils will think about their journeys to school, understand the benefits of active travel, and consider the causes and effects of air pollution. 

Happy cycling!

Please have a look at the lessons on  https://www.newdaleschool.org.uk/home/curriculum/subjects/sex-education/ ​

Harvest Festival

Harvest time is nearly upon us and as we have done in previous years, this year we will be collecting food items for Telford Crisis Support. The charity will be coming into school to see us in assembly on Monday 27th September to explain the work that they do. Following this, we would appreciate it if you were able to spare and send into school any food items (tinned or packaged and in date please) that you do not require. Please can children take the items to their classrooms and teachers will gather them together. The charity will collect the donations the following week on Monday 4th October. Thank you in advance for you help.

Year 3 Forest School Fun!

Year 3 had a great afternoon exploring the Forest School and Base Camp! We spent time imagining what life in the Stone Age would have been like and what materials they may have used to hunt, gather and build with.

E-Safety Top Tip – Monkey app

Have you heard of the app Monkey? Does your child use this app?

We would like to make you aware of this app because we highly recommend that children at Newdale do not use it.

The age rating for Monkey is children aged 13years+.  It contains some inappropriate material and there are concerns over the ability to chat to strangers via chat and video calls.  The NSPCC website have rated this app as ‘very poor’ for safety.

Remember it is very important to have regular conversations with your child to find out what apps and websites they are using.  You can also help your child to think about what information they share online and who can see it.

If you need more support or guidance with online safety please contact a staff member or send us an email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk
