Year 2 Grandparent tea party!

We had a lovely time writing up our hilarious limericks and decorating them with an autumnal theme! Thank you grandparents for visiting it was lovely to see you !

Grandparents Tea party

It was wonderful to welcome just over 300 Grandparents into our school this afternoon. It is always so lovely to give the children the opportunity to celebrate their learning and show off their work with their loved ones. Here are a few photographs of some of the activities going on across the school.

Many thanks,

Miss Cook

Safeguarding Reminder

Dear Parents/Carers,

In October, we have organised a free workshop to update and inform parents/carers on safeguarding issues within our local and wider community. These sessions are informative and will provide parents and carers with information and an awareness of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), Child Criminal Exploitation (CCE) and County Lines. The sessions will be led by Vicki Ridgewell, who is the Exploitation and Vulnerability Trainer for West Mercia Police. There will be two, identical workshops: one face-to-face and the other online.

We have robust safeguarding systems in place at Newdale and do our upmost to prevent our children coming into harm. All members of staff receive regular training on this particular aspect as well as other safeguarding issues. Our Curriculum, especially our Life Learning curriculum, addresses these areas in an age-appropriate way to support children in making good choices when in their community.

 

If you are unable to attend but would like to find out more information on this topic. Please read the parents’ guide attached which has been produced by the Telford and Wrekin Safeguarding Partnership.

Yours sincerely,

Miss R Cook

Year 2 Trip fun!

Wild Zoological was a fantastic day out :)

The children loved visiting the animal enclosures and watching both incredible shows. The WILD bird show was fascinating. We couldn’t believe how many birds we saw! They flew so close to our heads. I bet the children cannot wait to tell you all about it!

Mrs King’s class are BeSMART cup winners!

Children are invited to bring in a toy tomorrow (Tuesday 10.10.2023)

Can we ask that the toys are not electrical or things they do not want to share

Unfortunately, football cards are banned as they can cause arguments when swapped.

 Many thanks,

Mrs King.

Happy Thursday!

Just to let you know the year 2 teachers are very proud of their classes today!

They both worked so hard :)

Y2 – Volunteers needed!

Read, Write Inc – Pure Sounds

Dear Parent/Carer,

The video link below explains how to pronounce each single letter sound correctly. These are called ‘pure sounds’ and are important in allowing your child to blend sounds into words.

‘How to say the sounds’: https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/iZqY6LWC/9PMBDFTQ

The most common sounds that children mispronounce are ‘t’, ‘c’, ‘l’, ‘m’, ‘n’, ‘s’, ‘k’, ‘f’, ‘r’, ‘v’ and ‘z’. Children mistakenly put an ‘uh’ sound on the end, making it a longer sound and thereby trickier to blend when reading a word. Please have a look at how to say these sounds in particular.

We hope that you find this helpful,

Newdale Read, Write Inc Team
