Winter Free School Meal Vouchers

All vouchers have been sent by the council by email a week ago today, the only exceptions being the ones that have come directly to the school that we have sent home today.

 

If you have not received a voucher for a child that receives FSM,  please email the winterfunding.grant@telford.gov.uk  giving your name, the child/children’s names you haven’t had the voucher for and the home address.

 

If you have not applied for free school meals and your child receives them under the universal Free School Meal offer, where by all reception and year one students get a hot meal each day, you will need to head to www.telford.gov.uk/FSM and make an online application. Eligibility can be checked and if you qualify they will be notified and can issue the voucher.

 

If you have any problems redeeming the voucher this is the number you will need to contact  0344 693 9901

 

T&W message from Santa

Telford & Wrekin Council have had a special video produced for the children of Telford and Wrekin. It’s a message from Santa himself and we thought you might wish to share this with your classes or perhaps in any emails you send out to parents.

You can view the video on YouTube here https://youtu.be/fgtCkyIcpIk

We hope this brings some joy to those who see it. Please share with everyone you can.

All aboard the Newdale Express … 🚂

What a brilliant day we have had! This morning, we all received our tickets to board the special Newdale Express! We watched the Polar Express film and when the children in the film got their refreshments, we got a hot chocolate and some biscuits! Later, Buddy Bear the conductor visited us and, after checking our tickets, he left us a bag of candy canes!

Take a look at our super sewing projects…

This term, our Design and are Technology topic is Puppets. We have all made our very own hand puppet, with an animal theme – to fit in with our Science topic. We all had a go at using a running stitch to join our two pieces of fabric.

Our classroom elves knew we were learning about puppets so they made us our very own puppet theatre. We absolutely loved putting on puppet shows for our friends.

Maybe you could use your own puppet to put on a puppet show for the people you live with! We would love it if you could share a picture of your puppet show on the Year 1 blog.  🙂

Mr and Mrs Christmas come to Newdale 🎄 🎅🤶

On Friday, we found a note from our classroom elves saying that they had arranged a surprise for us. We followed their instructions and went down to the hall at 9:30am. We couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw Mr and Mrs Christmas 🤶🎅 Mrs Christmas read a story to us and we had  to make sure Santa stayed awake! We then made a special Christmas wish with Mrs Christmas’ magical mince pie mixture!
