• Welcome Boxes for Refugees

  Thu 16 Jan 2020

  Pupils from Newlands Primary School have joined with children from  schools across Southampton to assemble welcome boxes for refugees.

   

  Southampton City Council is a City of Sanctuary and works with schools and other organisations to support refugees who settle in our city. Families and individuals who have been forced to leave their homes often have nothing at all and these boxes are designed to provide a few essentials to help them through their first few days.

   

  Three of our Global Ambassadors attended today's workshop at John Hansard Gallery. At this event the boxes had items like sugar, milk loo rolls and basic toiletries packed in the boxes that had been decorated by the children.

   

  Newlands is proud to be part of this important work of world citizenship.

  

• Believe in Bees (and other wonderful natural things!)

  Wed 18 Dec 2019

  Mrs Zampedri and her busy helpers have done a fantastic job of designing a Christmas tree with a difference this year. The tree is entitled 'Believe in Bees' and the children have created it to remind us of the importance of bee conservation.

  It is beautiful, as well as informative.

  Have a look at our photos...you might be able to spot bug hotel designs too!

• Greetings again from Year 6 at PGL

  Thu 07 Nov 2019 Mrs Mellor

  Another day of delights, personal bests and adventures for all.

  Today we have mastered abseiling, zip wire, the Giant Swing and other problem solving and team activities.

  We have continued to impress the staff with our enormous appetites in the canteen too. Hope the cooked breakfasts will continue when we get home...

  We are currently dancing the night away in the PGL disco (whilst Mrs Mellor catches up on the website updates and her many emails!).

  A final morning of activities lay ahead tomorrow before we head for home (hopefully by arriving back 3pm - but this depends on traffic etc).

   

  The children can't wait to see their families and share their many adventures and their dirty, wet washing!

  

• Year 6 have an action packed day at PGL...

  Wed 06 Nov 2019 Mrs Mellor

  What a day we have had!

  The excitement started when we had a minibus full of visitors from school. They joined our groups and tried out activities with us all. Then we all went down to Osmington Bay for a beach walk and study of geographical features (along with some fun beach activities as well!). 

  Many of us found out we were great at archery, as well as overcoming more personal climbing challenges.

  Oh yes... and we got rained on yet again!

  Have a look at today's selection of photos...

  

• Hello from Year 6 at Osmington Bay!

  Tue 05 Nov 2019 Mrs Mellor

  Our first day passed quickly with settling into our rooms, touring the Osmington site, complete with sea views, and finally having a very wet campfire experience.

  On day 2, we have had a fun-filled day at PGL ...a 4 mile hike through muddy fields and swamps but complete with fresh ice cream from the local dairy farm (sorry about the muddy washing loads parents!).

  Some of us took a leap of faith from the tall trapeze, played Aeroball and completed a sensory walk challenge.

  This evening we have enjoyed Wacky Races and got to see the Weymouth firework display!

  Teachers are hoping that the very tired children will sleep well tonight!

  Thank you to everyone who contributed cakes or came along to enjoy our Macmillan Coffee morning recently. We raised a total of £265.17 to be shared between Macmillan and the sensory garden fund raising campaign.

   

  In memory of Mrs Orton, all of the children planted a spring bulb on the school site that day. We look forward to a colourful bloom in spring!
