RSE Information – Year 1 to Year 6

Dear Parent / Carer

Please look in your child’s communication diary for a letter which has been stuck in asking for your consent for your child to take part in RSE lessons.

Please go to the RSE page on the school website (learning/subjects/RSE) to see the outline of what your child will be taught.

Once you have read the information including the policy please tick and sign the letter in your child’s communication book.

Kind regards

Update 30.4.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you know, we are fully open today and we are delighted about that.

I carried out a full site inspection with the Health and Safety lead early this morning and she was happy with all of our procedures linked to the fire and Covid.

We will continue to allow children outside for periods of time, following checks being made of the air quality by our team. Ventilation is being carefully managed to reduce the risk of the virus.

It is known that the fire will continue to burn for a few more days. The fire department is working hard to reduce this time as much as possible.

If there are any useful updates, I will pass them onto you later. We all wish you a fabulous bank holiday weekend and hope that those that live in the vicinity of the fire can get away from it for a few days.

Regards,

Miss Cook

Life Learning Parent Voice Summer 2021

At Newdale, we are passionate about ensuring that our children are well equipped for the world outside of Newdale. In order to do so, we provide opportunities for children to learn life skills and knowledge in an age-appropriate way. To support us with our curriculum offer, we would value your views on these topics.

Each survey will be put into a prize draw and have the chance to win one of three £10 vouchers for Asda. Please return to your child’s class teacher by Friday 7th May 2021. Following the completion of these surveys, we will then create actions to make our school even better in ensuring all pupils are prepared for life in modern Britain.

Please click on the link below to view the full survey.

Year 6 PE

Good Morning Year 6
We are looking forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday.

PE will now take place on a Monday and Wednesday each week. If you are in Mrs Thomas’ class, you will have swimming on a Monday, so you will need to bring your swimming kit with you. If you are in Miss Clay’s class, you will have outdoor PE on a Monday so you can come to school wearing your PE kit.
PE on a Wednesday will be outdoors with Crossbar Coaching for all of year 6.

Have a great weekend
Miss Clay and Mrs Thomas :)

Update 16.4.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful spell of sunny weather we are having.

We look forward to opening up to all children on Monday 19th April.

Please presume our procedures remain unchanged. We will of course update you as soon as we alter our systems. We hope that our regulations will become less strict, as the vaccine continues to be rolled out. Some outdoor Crossbar after school clubs will resume and activities such as swimming and our seasonal nature walks. More information will follow early next week.

In the meantime please support us by remaining cautious with child illness. We would much rather that parents kept children off who were displaying symptoms, rather than risking having to put 30 children into self-isolation for 10 days. We are slowly winning the battle against the virus, however we cannot afford to be complacent.

As we come into the summer term please make sure your children have a water bottle in school please.

Regards,

Miss Cook
