We have had another incredible week at Newdale. The children in Year 2 represented the school brilliantly on their trip to Wild Zoological. They were mesmerised by the stunning bird show and enjoyed feeding the colourful lorikeets. On Wednesday, Year 1 made all their teachers proud when they did their phonics assembly. Hopefully this will give parents/ carers lots of ideas how they can support with reading at home. Year 3 and 4 enjoyed their first house competition where they played hockey. It was lovely to see so many enthusiastic children.
BeSMART Cup winners who will have a special treat next week:
Both Year 1 classes for their brilliant phonics assembly this week. All of the adults were so proud of the children and their effort.
