Holiday Provision Easter 2023

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are trialling different models of holiday provision to see which works well for our school setting.

 

In the first week of the Easter holiday, we will be open from Monday 3rd April to Thursday 6th April. Sign in will be between 8:30 and 9:00. The end of the session will be between 3:30 and 4:00.

 

We have 20 places available which can be booked on a first come, first served basis using the Crossbar website link www.crossbarcoaching.schoolipal.co.uk This link will go live on Monday 27th February after half term.

 

The cost is £15 per child per day. Children who attend would need to bring a packed lunch, water bottle and suitable clothing to match the offer around outdoor sports and indoor crafts.

 

If we cannot fill up the 20 places with Newdale children, we will need to offer it out to other children in our local area in order to make the club viable. We would prefer not to do this unless we have to.

 

We have some places available for children who are entitled to free school meals. Mrs Byrne Corbett is contacting some parents to discuss this offer. If you believe you are eligible and keen for your children to attend, do contact Mrs Byrne Corbett.

 

Places for free school meals children will not be booked through the Crossbar link above, but through our Parent Pay system. This payment will become live after parents have made an agreement with Mrs Byrne Corbett.

 

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Year 2 plea

Year 2- plea please!

Please can your child bring in an empty jar (washed) before it is put into the recycling.

The children only need to bring 1 in each but if you have a spare that would be great.

Many thanks Year 2 team.

Update regarding entry point near Reception

Please note that the gate adjacent to the Reception classrooms will no longer be used as an exit or entry point onto the school site at the start of the day and at home time. If you usually enter or exit through this point, then please use the gate a little further along (via the quiet area, past the carved Bear) instead. This is to ensure that the equipment in the Reception classroom outside area remains set up and accessed by Reception children only. This will take effect as of Thursday morning.

Thank you for your support.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

We cannot wait to welcome you all back tomorrow for another exciting term!

Just a few reminders!

PE Days – MONDAY (Crossbar) and THURSDAY (Class teacher)

Children come to school in their PE kits – White t-shirts, black/navy bottoms and trainers. Please ensure children’s PE is labelled clearly with their names.

FOREST SCHOOL – Thursdays. Children will be in their PE kits but will need to bring in appropriate change of footwear and warm outer clothes as we intend to go outside regardless of the weather.

Homework reminder- children complete their times tables test each Wednesday and new homework will be sent out each Friday. Please encourage your child to complete the practise questions to improve their fluency and rapid recall.

We are impressed with the children’s reading progress and are grateful for your continued support with reading at least 3 times or more a week. Keep up the fantastic reading!

See you bright and early in the morning, don’t forget school starts at 8.35am!

Ms Trevor and Miss Hill :) :)

Year 2 updates – final week

Firstly, we are so proud of all the children for their amazing performances last week. They were awesome! Thank you again for all your support leading up to the performances.

In Year 2 will be doing PE next week on Tuesday instead of Monday.

On Friday we will be having a class disco as an end of term treat, please send your children in in their PE kit as normal.
