Stranger Danger

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have had a report that has prompted us to remind our children about the importance of stranger danger awareness when not on our site.

If your child walks home alone, please can you remind them of the importance of going straight home and not talking to unfamiliar adults or youths.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

 

Lost property

Dear Parents/Carers,

Despite many reminders, some of our children are struggling to take responsibility for their own belongings. This image below shows what was left on our Astro only after one day.

As you know, it is near impossible for us to get belongings returned to their owners if they do not have a name in them.

Please can you support us by talking to your children about being responsible for their things and placing their name in all items.

Many thanks

Newdale Team

School lunches on trips

Over the past year, we have had lots of school packed lunches made as parents have requested one via Parent Pay but then have provided their own on the day of the trip. This has meant that we have had school packed lunches which have not been needed but have been made up by our kitchen. To avoid food waste, please only select on Parent Pay if you would like a packed lunch for your child if you are not going to be providing one for them on the day.

Thank you

Newdale Team
