Yr2 RSE

Children were very sensible learning about body parts today. Most of them remembered vocabulary from Yr1. We talked about these being the scientific names that we might need if we ever have to talk about our privates to doctors. We had a few giggles and loved the story!

Here are the question box contributions from children and our responses. We will share the responses with children tomorrow and thought it would be useful to share them with you. RSE – Questions box and Answers

Again, please get in touch if you have any questions for us.

Thanks,
Year 2 team.

RSE year 2

Good evening,

Tomorrow we will be covering body parts with year 2. I have attached the slides that we will be using.

Year 2 RSE 

We teach this in a very relaxed and open environment where children can have a giggle if they need to and feel relaxed enough to ask questions. We also leave a question box open for the next two weeks. We will not answer any questions that go above and beyond their year group curriculum, but may direct children to ask parents if they have any tricky questions that we can’t answer. We thought it was best to give you a heads up and please do ask us if you need any more information or have any questions yourselves.

If you chose to withdraw your child, they will be reading a story with a teaching assistant outside of the classroom during this lesson. Please let us know if you have changed your mind and would now like your child to participate after seeing the slides. You do not need to contact us if you have not withdrawn your child.

Many thanks,

Mrs King

School Reports July 2024

End of year reports will be sent home with your child on Friday 12th 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 or email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk to make a request by no later than Wednesday 10th 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to be sent with the application for Year 7 places and we will be unable to make further copies for you once they have been archived.

Wrekin Walk – Final reminders

We are really excited about tomorrow’s trip up the Wrekin

Just a few reminders for you:

  • Please ensure children bring coats and carry their lunch etc in a rucksack so their hands are free.
  • Children should have a plastic bag in their rucksack to sit on in case the ground is wet.
  • The first three coaches containing year 1, 2 and 3 will arrive at the base of the Wrekin approximately between 9:30 and 9:40 with year 1 arriving first. Years 4, 5 and 6 are anticipated to arrive between 10:15 to 10:30.
  • Please note the base of the Wrekin will be very busy and police will be in attendance managing traffic.
  • If you plan on walking up with your child, please do not block coach access. You could also join your child’s class part way up to avoid congestion by the road. Regular updates will be posted on Facebook, signal permitting!
  • Please note that your child must remain with their whole class for safety reasons. If you have multiple children, you may choose to walk up with one class and down with another.
  • Adults must stay in the designated family area while the children make the heart shape at the top so the surrounding area is clear for drone footage.
  • All children will return to school on the buses even if parents have attended. If you have attended and wish to take your child straight home, it is ESSENTIAL that you sign your child out with ONLY their class teacher. If not, you can collect your child from classroom doors at whatever time they return but in order to leave school early, they must also be signed out by their class teacher. Otherwise, children will leave school as usual.
  • As there will be Macmillan merchandise, hospice cookies and Let’s Dine chocolate crunch on sale at the top, if you wish to purchase anything, you will need cash.
  • Please remember you may have to pay to park which may be a little way from the base.

Art Day

This year’s Art Day will be held on Friday 12th July. Children are once again being invited to “dress to express” in their most creative costumes but please bear in mind that there may be some messy activities! We will be working in house groups to create some fantastic pieces of art using recycled objects and your child’s teacher will let you know if they need donations of particular materials for their activities. In addition to this, we need lots (and lots!) of Tetrapak or Pure-Pak cartons for a very exciting printing project with Ironbridge Fine Arts. These cartons often contain fruit juice, oat or almond milk, coconut water, toddler formula etc. We would be very grateful for any clean, dry cartons that you can send into school. Thank you for your support.

Wrekin Walk update

As we get closer to our charity event, Climb Against Cancer, we have a few reminders for the day:

  • Car parking charges will apply- please follow the instructions on the pay machines. There will be additional areas to park such as Ercall Woods and near the Buckatree hotel should the bottom of the Wrekin be busy.
  • Police will be in attendance and illegal parking on double yellow lines will result in penalties.
  • We recommend car sharing where possible to minimise the amount of traffic at the bottom of the Wrekin.
  • Please ensure children have sensible footwear, sunscreen, hats, a small rucksack for their lunch and a water bottle.
  • Please bring cash to buy merchandise on the day.

Reminder for T-Shirt colours:

Message to parents regarding the activity out of hours

We are writing to inform you of some recent activity that has happened, out of hours on our site.

We believe at this stage that it is probably young people trying to find something to do. Even so, it is important that our site remains private during the evenings and weekends whenever the school and nursery are closed.

We are kindly asking parents/ carers who live locally to the school to support us by keeping an eye out and reporting any usual or suspicious activity around the nursery premises especially when school is closed.

School have already reported our concerns to the local police and the business watch security teams.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Ironbridge essentials kit list

Good afternoon,

We had a few parents asking for a remind about what children needed so hopefully this will help.

Thursday- come to school dressed in pirate clothes

Bring inside a labelled carrier bag –

  • Comfy clothes to change into after pirate day – this can be shorts/tee/joggers/leggings/hoody/jacket and trainers– we will do a change from pirate clothes into these before we go to the YHA.
  • They should have with them a light, waterproof coat.
  • A sunhat

You will need to pack in a small ruck sack (something they can carry to their room)

  • A small hand towel.
  • A wash bag with soap, flannel, toothbrush and toothpaste.
  • One small teddy/ comforter if needed.
  • Pull ups if required overnight.
  • Socks and pants for Friday.
  • Casual clothing for the next day.

Please DO NOT provide your child with any of the following:

  • Sweets, unhealthy snacks, fizzy drinks –the children will have plenty to eat and drink!
  • Electronic devices, cameras or phones –they will be kept well entertained and we don’t want to lose anything valuable.
  • Medication in their bag (this must be collected prior to the trip and stored safely by the accompanying adults).
  • Money

We’re all looking forward to it and know we will have a wonderful time.

Thanks,

Mrs King
