Value of the Month- March

Thank you for all your support with the value of the month for February, which was Caring. At Newdale it is wonderful to watch the children display their caring sides whilst in class and out on the playground.

Our value of the month for March is Belief

What are beliefs?
Trust, faith, or confidence in (someone or something)

Our focus on Beliefs has three strands:

· Believing in our own abilities and encouraging the abilities of others.
· Being able to understand that not everyone shares the same belief.
· Being able discuss reasons why we believe in the things we do

Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:

Discuss what the word means:
– Accepting that something is true/exists
– Having trust, faith or confidence in someone/something
– Self-belief – trust in your own abilities

Discuss with your child who they trust the most and why. Explain that this means they have belief in their abilities to care and look out for them.
Explore different religions; explain that people have different beliefs and that we should respect them even if their beliefs are different to their own.
Self-belief- discuss with your child how they feel about their learning and other skills and attributes. Talk about what they could do when faced with a challenge. It’s important that children learn the importance of perseverance even when faced with difficulties.
One of our British Values is Democracy. You could talk to your child about the purpose of Parliament. Discuss the importance of voting, and the fact that individuals vote for parties they believe will do an effective job in government.

Please let your child’s teacher know if we can celebrate any work from home, in school.
Feedback on the values and what you do at home is really valuable to us and we really appreciate all your support.
If you can support us in any way, please get in touch via the school office.

Year 6 trip to Shrewsbury Prison

Year 6 had a fabulous experience finding out what it would be like to be an actual prisoner- finding out how they are treated and the conditions they live in! No one wanted to be left behind in the cold cells- luckily they all managed to break free…
