The children have had a fun week this week, interacting in many activities and building on new skills. We listened to the story ‘Owl Babies’ as part of our ‘Talk through stories’ and learned about new vocabulary.
Some children made many models in the modelling area, making owls, handbags, houses, monsters with the range of cardboard boxes, developing their cutting skills and using a range of materials. In PE, the children moved around the hall and developed their ball skills and worked with Mrs Short on their balancing skills. In maths, we revisited subitising and the children played a bingo game in the tuff tray.
Thank you to the Parents and Carers who came into school for ‘Come and Read, it is lovely to see the children listen to their favourite stories.

Key Notices
Attendance: Pupil Absence
If your child is absent, for in excess of 2 days, schools are required to complete a welfare check on the third day, this supports the safeguarding of the child. Ideally you will be contacted to arrange the visit, however, if school are unable to contact you, an unannounced visit will take place and a calling card provided. We have a statutory responsibility to safeguard all of our children and appreciate your support.
Uniform
Your child needs to wear school uniform so they feel part of the Newham Bridge family. This includes:
* Red jumper or cardigan * Grey skirt or trousers * White shirt or polo shirt * Black shoes (velcro).
A suitable coat (for all weathers)
Children are learning to put their cardigans and jumpers in trays independently if they don’t want to wear them and their coats on pegs, but it is really important that these items are labelled with your child’s full name.
PE Days
PE sessions have changed. PE will take place:
Monday – Dance
Thursday – Mrs Short – Ball skills
Children need to come to school in their PE kits:
Black joggers / leggings, white polo shirt and black trainers
It is easier for girls to wear socks rather than tights so they can put on their socks and shoes easily. Please practise with your child putting their socks and shoes on independently.
Come and Read
Every Monday, parents are invited to join their child on a morning to come and read a book. When the doors open at 8.40am, parents can pop into reception and share a book with their child until doors close at 9.00am.
Super Readers
Many children this week have done some super reading at home. Sinam and Freddie have been learning their red words well. Charlotte, Lilly-Lee, Ariella-Blue, Albie, and Ace have all been reading many great shared books at home.
Pupil of the Week
