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.

 

Child Sexual Exploitation – A Guide for parents and carers – 2022 leaflet

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.

Many thanks,

NOTIFICATION

We are obliged to periodically inform all parents that we have CCTV cameras positioned around our site. These cameras are for surveillance purposes and to support our security measures.

 As you may have seen, we also have signs located at strategic points around our School and Nursery. These signs act as a public notice and hopefully a deterrent against prospective unwarranted intrusion, damage, graffiti, vandalism or theft.

If you spot something suspicious around our site, we would appreciate you reporting this immediately to our office or through our email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk

Cool Cats visit to Nursery and School was just purrfect ! 😻

This week Cool Cat had a purrfect time welcoming all children who were on time for Nursery and School each morning! We hope you all managed to get a high five at least once this week!

Thank you to all who arrive on time – our lessons start each morning promptly at 8:30 for nursery and 8:40 for school. The registers are then taken, its such a positive start to the day when the children all start together.  

It was lovely chasing his tail capturing the moments of happy smiling children, rushing to give a quick cat cuddle or high five.
one boy shouted ” Yes mommy i did it ! I love Cool Cat ” ❤️👏🏻

Year 4’s Swiss Afternoon

As part of our European Day of Languages, Year 4 learnt all about Switzerland yesterday. The children really enjoyed exploring some of the main languages spoken in Switzerland; French, Germany and Italian. They also had fun making some art work inspired by the Edelweiss Flower – and listening to some of the best songs from The Sound of Music.

Safeguarding, Health & Safety Governors Committee

Governors from the Health and Safety committee met last week. They were delighted to hear that the children from Year 3, 4 and 5 talked so confidently about E Safety and what do if they felt uncomfortable about something online.

They were reassured that the Health and Safety policy and procedure across Early Years is robust.

Governors again put a spotlight over the induction procedures and were happy that a newly appointed member of the Newdale team spoke confidently about the process and the impact it has had on her first few weeks at our school.

Governors look forward to talking to more children and staff next half term.

Curriculum Governors Committee Update

The Curriculum Governors met yesterday and were super impressed with the amount of work carried out by staff and pupils in such a short space of time since the start of the term.

A selection of KS 2 SEND mathematicians came to share their books and views on how they have started the year. They all love maths and their books looked amazing!

Governors were very impressed with the amount of work completed by the new music lead since she took up this role in September. They were excited to see the impact on the children’s enjoyment linked to music.

Governors approved the equality targets for 2023-2024 and encourage parents/carers to look at this on the website.

Governors had a detailed update from the SENDco and were impressed with the action plan and future plans around parental communication linked to SEND.
