Harry Potter trip Y5

Harry Potter is fast approaching, and we can now update you with the details.  Children are required to be in school at 7.10am, please meet by the main school playground gates where a member of staff will be waiting.  Please ensure your child has a packed lunch and a few extra snacks to eat throughout the day in a carrier bag so this can be thrown away after lunch and a drinks bottle (if your child is eligible for free school meals and you have ordered via ParentPay this will be provided for you).  We will be leaving Harry Potter World at 2.30pm and aim to return back to school at 6.45pm after eating their Burger King.

World Book Day – Thursday 2nd March

Dear Parents and Carers, 

 This year’s World Book Day will take place on Thursday 2nd March with the theme “You are a reader!” 

 Due to the success of our last Book Swap Day, we will once more run a second-hand book swap shop. Children who bring in a book that they no longer want can swap it on the day (books in good condition only please).  

 As usual, we are all looking forward to seeing your child dressed up in costume as one of their favourite book characters. Teachers cannot wait to get involved too! 

 The World Book Day website has lots of ideas on how to do this with as much or as little effort as you would like. There are some excellent ideas to get you started: Dressing Up – World Book Day

However, children are equally welcome to come to school in their pyjamas all ready for a bedtime story if they prefer – just remind them to bring their favourite book too! 

 Your child will receive a £1 book token to spend on a FREE book, or to save £1 on another full price book of their choice. Full details are available at www.worldbookday.com where you can see the fabulous books that are on offer this year.  

 World Book Day is a super event to celebrate reading, but reading to and with your child is important every single day to ensure your child can learn to their fullest potential. We would love to see photos of you reading with your child – please stick them into your child’s reading diary if you can! 

Happy reading, 

 Mrs Thomas

A message from Mrs Poole our SENDCO

If your child has special educational needs and you would like me to attend their parents’ evening appointment alongside you, I would be more than happy to do so. To arrange this, please let me know via the SENDCo email address (newdalesendco@taw.org.uk) your availability during that week and I shall discuss a time with their class teacher which we can all do. Please note that appointments will not be available on the Friday of this week as I do not work on that day.

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

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.
