  Yesterday, the children and staff of Newlands school, said a very deep felt 'Goodbye' to Mrs Field. She has supported numerous children (and staff) over the years, first as a TA and more recently as the school's ELSA.

  Each class had prepared a special tribute or message for her and this was shared in a special farewell assembly yesterday afternoon.

  We all wish Mrs Field every happiness for her future.

  

• Federation ICT day

  Wed 25 May 2016

  Five of our year 5 pupils joined pupils from other Federation Schools for an ICT day held at Shirley Warren School. The pupils were chosen for their computing skills, which they used on the day to write programs for games to be used by schools during next year's Safer Internet Day.

  Our children were a credit to our school in their enthusiasm, computing skills and excellent behaviour.

  The photos show them working in mixed groups with pupils from the other schools.
