House Points

At Newdale, one of the ways our pupils are rewarded for their efforts, in work and behaviour, is house points. Each pupil belongs to 1 of 4 houses; Wenlock, Wrekin, Severn and Ironbridge. This year, the house team with the highest number of house points at the end of each half-term, will earn a special house celebration (full of lots of fun games and activities). Each week, we share the running totals in assembly but as we are now half way through the half-term, we thought we would share them with our wider community too. 3 more weeks to go and there’s only 10 house points between first and fourth… it is still all to play for!

Will you earn a house point for your team next week?

Macmillan Charity

Dear Parents/Carers,

We will soon be announcing the final figure raised for Macmillan following the Wrekin ‘Climb Against Cancer’ event and more recently the Grandparents’ tea party.

Our ‘Go fund me’ page will stay open until Thursday evening should anyone like to contribute that has not had a chance to do so. Newdale Primary School and Nursery is fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support (justgiving.com)

We will be presenting the money to Macmillan during a special assembly on Friday and will then send out information to all parents.

Thank you so much for supporting our events. We know that the money raised will go towards supporting so many people that are affected by cancer in our town.

 

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Finance & Personnel Committee Governors Involvement

Finance and Personnel Governors met last week. They looked carefully at the costs associated with the high levels of special educational needs within the school and were pleased with the provision on offer. They studied in detail the Summer term parent survey and were again pleased in reading so many positive responses. They focused on development points and were reassured that telephone calls had been made and actions taken where appropriate. Next time the Governors will continue looking at SEND provision across the school.

European Day of Languages

Year 6 had a wonderful time yesterday celebrating European Day of Languages and learning all about Germany. During our research of major cities in Germany, we found out many interesting facts. Did you know that the custom of turning cartwheels came from Dusseldorf and Dresden invented toothpaste? We then had the opportunity to taste many delicious German foods: pretzels, bratwurst, stollen and even pickled cucumber!

  • All cakes/treats are £1 each, please bring cash only, we are unable to provide change
  • Mobile phones are not to be used on site at anytime
  • We may have Shropshire Radio joining us who may ask to interview some grandparents during the event.
