Everyone had a wonderful afternoon and were dearly proud to represent Newlands. A special mention must go to Travis Barlow, Leonard Harding, Thea Sprigg and Summer Canning who came first in the boys and girls Parlouf event ( 6 gruelling laps of the sports hall split between them). A big well done to everyone!

AAhhhh!! There's a SKULL in our pond!
This week, to enthuse the children and stimulate their imagination for our Golden Write, we decided to play a little trick on our Y4/5s. Mr Williams (our site manager) buried a replica skull in the mud at the bottom of our garden pond, which has been drained ready for re-landscaping to take place. We placed police tape round the area and PCSO Marsden, from Mansfield Police, kindly popped in to give an interview to the children. Mr Williams and Mrs Castledine were also interviewed and the children then wrote a newspaper article about our gruesome find!
