• Half Term Challenge

  Mon 04 Feb 2019

   

  Where is the most extreme place you have ever read a book? Up a tree? In the bath? Standing on your head? Whatever it is, we want your photos!

   

  We would like all pupils to take part in a competition for the most extreme places that you have read a book, and the winners will receive a book token for our Friday Book Shop!

   

  A display will be made from the photos, so please either bring in a printed photo or email your photo with your name and class to adminoffice@newtown.hants.sch.uk 

  
  Please send in all photos by Friday 1st March.

   

  We encourage you to keep safe, but we are really looking forward to seeing who in the school has such a passion for reading that they have to do it anywhere and everywhere! 
  Good luck and have fun!

   

  

• Archaeologists and Historians

  Thu 31 Jan 2019

   

  Year 5 became archaeologists and historians this week!

   

  They were able to look at Greek artefacts to decipher what the artefact could be and what it might be used for.

   

  The children learnt about lives from the past, from the buildings that survived from that era and from the artefacts. The children were amazed at how much still exists from thousands of years ago!

• Winner of Best School 2018!

  Tue 11 Dec 2018

   

  Since becoming Hampshire’s first official ‘Happy School’ this year, we have continued to reflect on how this ethos can help improve the school and the local community.

   

  We were therefore delighted last Monday, when Mrs Howlett collected the award for Best School at The News’ We Can Do It! awards for the impact that of our positive ethos values and the Happy School legacy has had on our school and our community.

   

  The staff and students have not only been creating positive vibes in the classroom, but also going out into the local community and engaging with as many people as possible.

   

  Headteacher Mrs Howlett told the audience at the glittering awards ceremony, “To win the award for Best School is really exciting. It is down to the changes that the staff and children have made to their daily lives – making an effort to be happier and more positive – and I am so proud of every single one of them. We decided to work towards the Happy School accreditation because we felt it would be nice to build strong links with the local community, and that is exactly what has happened.”

   

  “It is not just about getting a piece of paper though, it is always and will always be about creating an environment at the school that our children can take pride in. Watching the school’s transformation has been incredible, from keeping an eye on their own wellbeing to being there for their friends and others at the school.”

   

  Well done Newtown C of E Primary School!
