Good Afternoon,

Please see below news from this week. Have a lovely weekend.

Notes/Reminders

Teacher-led Clubs

There will be no teacher-led clubs the last week of term. 

Library Reading Summer Challenge

The Summer Reading Challenge, presented by The Reading Agency and delivered by libraries, encourages children aged from 4 to 11 to continue reading throughout the summer holidays. The aim of the Challenge is to read up to six books, collecting special stickers and rewards along the way. Children will need to be a member of the library to sign up for the challenge but joining the library does not take long and is free. All reading counts including audiobooks, eBooks and eComics! More information can be found on the library website. 

Key Found today

Key found on the playground today. Please collect from the school office.

eSafety and Safeguarding

Reminder: Keeping children safe online and in the real world

At Cardinal Newman School we are always reminding the children how they can keep themselves safe whether in the real world or in the virtual world. Class teachers regularly use the Zones of Regulation to assess how the children in their classes are feeling. Children are encouraged to share their worries using the ‘What I want my teacher to know boxes’ which are in each Key Stage 2 classrooms and the Worry Monsters which can be found in the Keys Stage 1 Classrooms.

Information to support parents can be found on the school website here.

Please continue to report any safeguarding concerns to Mr Flower (Designated Safeguarding Lead) or Mrs Burnham (Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead).
