Year 6 have arrived safely at PGL, Osmington Bay, for their residential adventure this week. The children have settled into their chalets and are busy trying to earn chalet points by showing great manners, tidiness and giving all activities their best shot.
We had campfire last night and learned some new 'repeat after me' songs that we have been repeating since! Everyone slept well and ate a big breakfast this morning.
Today we have our first set of challenges with problem solving, climbing, archery and abseiling. The morning started with a big rainbow so we are hopeful for a drier day!
We will post more photos this evening and these will be on the Y6 Class pages.
Here is the link to our first newsletter of this academic year.

Newlands Primary is aware that some inaccurate and misleading information about our School of Sanctuary status has been shared online, including suggestions about activities we have never taken part in.
To be clear, our school has never participated in the activity described. These claims are untrue and do not reflect who we are as a school community.
Newlands Primary is proud to be a place where every child and family is welcomed and respected, regardless of background. We believe in treating everyone with kindness and fairness, and we expect our whole community to uphold these values.
Being recognised as a School of Sanctuary means we are dedicated to making sure every child and family feels safe, supported, and able to thrive. Safeguarding is, and always will be, our highest priority.
The programme is not political — it is about understanding, compassion, and building a community where everyone belongs.
