September Mrs Duggan’s 1st class went on an autumn walk in the grounds of Newtown School. The plan was to gather leaves to use in an art class later, but pockets were filled with conkers instead! Highlights included finding caterpillar eggs on a leaf, seeing acorns and oak apples growing, picking blackberries and opening spiky […]
We held our summer talent show on 21st June in the hall. The talent on display was breath-taking, and we could not be prouder of the children. It takes courage to stand up in front of a crowd of your peers and perform live. The videos below give you a little flavour of the amazing […]
Sports for All Day took place on Monday 19th June in the grounds of Newtown School.

However neither the thieving bird nor the drizzly […]

Our sincere thanks to Nore Valley Park for donating the pumpkins – the younger classes decorated them with help from the older classes, and they brightened up the school entrance with their spooky and funny […]

This was accepted on behalf of the staff by Mrs Hemmingway. As […]
