Remembrance Day

The last few days we have been learning lots about Remembrance Day.

Today we did a superb piece of writing in literacy, we took part in the 2 minutes silence and then we completed our challenge of biking 11 times around the track.

Year 1’s Pretend Zoo Day 🐍 🦁 🐯

We weren’t able to visit the zoo so we decided to bring the zoo to Newdale! We planned and designed our very own zoos; thinking carefully about what each type of animal might need in their home.

In the afternoon, we became wild animals and visited the ‘Newdale Jungle’. We each chose an animal mask that we would like to make. In the jungle, we looked for and made different animal footprints. Some of us even built dens that we thought our animal would like to live in. We had lots of fun exploring the Forest, pretending to be animals – the koalas particularly enjoyed climbing the trees.

Our Zoo Day

Unfortunately we couldn’t go on our planned trip to Chester zoo today. So instead we had a zoo day in school. This morning we planned and created our own zoos and this afternoon we went to forest school and we got to be the animals.

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
