The red carpet was rolled out tonight for our super Year 6 pupils who are about to move on to secondary education. We are so proud of our Year 6's who have achieved so much.
Tonight was a celebration and they dressed up in style for a wonderful evening of dancing eating and having fun.
Many thanks to Miss Legg, Mrs Bloomfield and Mrs Williams who have done so much to pre pare these special children and to Mrs Parnell and so many of the staff who have helped to prepare everything for this evening.
Newlands took part in the annual Federation Sports Event. This year 6 schools and 7 teams competed for the Shield:
Fairisle A
Fairisle B
Redbridge
Tanners Brook
Mansel Park

Newlands
Newlands worked hard all day with our yr 1/2 team winning many of the different events. Showing we have an excellent group of young sports people coming through Newlands.
Our yr 3/4, and 2 x 5/6 Teams also competed really well and were successful in beating other schools to gain valuable points.
The Sprints at the end saw some nail biting finishes. Catherine from Yr 2 won the girls yr 1/2 Sprint and Skye from yr 6 drew to claim joint 1st in the girls yr 5/6 Sprint.
The final results saw Newlands finish in 2ND only 80 pts behind Oakwood. CONGRATULATIONS to all athletes who competed. It was a great day and a fantastic result.
Year 6 are performing their Cinderella play to parents this afternoon. If it is as good as yesterday's dress rehearsal performed to the school, it should be a real treat.
One thing is for sure, you will see some of our pupils in a completely new light!
Today the teachers were served delicious French food, served by the waiters and waitresses of year 6.
As it was a French Café, only French was spoken by the waiters and staff had to brush up their holiday French to request their orders.
Once again, many thanks to Mrs Healey and all the other adults and children who made this annual event such a success.
Children from Year 6 had an exciting day visiting the Isle of Wight.
Despite forecasts of heavy rain we wee eating our lunch at Carisbrooke Castle in the blazing sun.
After walking the ramparts and admiring the view from the tower, we made our way to Ryde beach, again we were blessed with blue skies and with the bonus of looking at big storm clouds over the mainland at Portsmouth!
Paddling and beach games were played before returning to school on the late afternoon ferry.
More photos can be seen on the Year 6 class pages.
Today Mrs Healey took a group of Year 5 children to Redbridge school for a French competition. One of our talented pupils, Elisha, impressed the judges and was awarded an Asterix book in French.
The children gave a weather report in French and then showed a film about learning French at Newlands.
After the competition the children met Year 7 pupils and talked about studying French at secondary school.
Many thanks to Mrs Healey for her inspirational teaching of French and the children who demonstrated their learning with such confidence.
