Holiday activities and food programme with EKO

Having recently become a registered charity EKO has been able to secure funding through Shropshire council for the Holiday Activities Food Programme (HAF). HAF is a government initiative set up to provide support during the school holidays for families who have children eligible for benefits related free school meals.

Sessions will be based at our new Outdoor Learning Site in the grounds of Weston Park. Each day will be different but will follow a similar pattern of learning, exploring, creating and playing outdoors, ending with a nutritious lunch cooked by the group over our campfire. Our activities will centre around healthy eating and looking at where our food comes from. There will be challenges and team work, strong friendships form and the laughter is infectious. We plan on having lots of fun!

Year 2 Sports Day

We had a great time this afternoon.  Well done to all of the Year 2 children for showing fantastic sportsmanship and team skills.

Reminder about additional copies of reports

Reminder – End of year reports will be sent home with your child on 9th July.   If an additional copy is required by a parent who does not live at the child’s home address, you must contact the school office on 387720 to make a request by no later than Monday 5th July.   

Please ensure that you keep your copy of the report safe, especially if your child is in Year 5.  Some secondary schools (such as Thomas Telford) require a copy to be sent with the application for Year 7 places and we will be unable to make further copies for you once they have been archived.

Update: 28.6.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Unfortunately we have had 2 more positive cases in school (not related to any previous cases we have had).

 

Thank fully our online learning offer is established and that teachers can switch rapidly to avoid children missing more of their education.

 

If your child is any of the bubbles that have been told to isolate, yet you are finding it difficult to gain online access, please call the school and we will do all we can to help.

 

Our procedures in school are as tight as they have ever been and we hope that this outbreak has rapidly been brought under control.

 

As ever, if your children are displaying signs of illness, or in fact if anyone in your house is showing signs of illness, please play it safe and keep children off and get them tested.

 

This virus variant seems to display itself with a headache and cold like symptoms.

 

Luckily due to timings, the bubbles sent home today will be welcome back next Monday, so thankfully only miss 4 more ‘in school’ days where they have to isolate.

 

The Newdale team will continue to work so hard in ensuring the online offer is as high a standard as possible.

 

Thank you for your ongoing understanding and support.

 

Miss Cook
