• Cinderella Rockerfeller

  Tue 14 Jul 2015

  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!

  

• French Cafe

  Wed 08 Jul 2015

  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.

  

• Year 6 travel to Isle of Wight

  Tue 07 Jul 2015

  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.

  

• Redbridge French Competition

  Mon 06 Jul 2015

  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.
