Personal Progress Group

We have been making birdfeeders in personal progress and thought it would be a nice thing to go on the school website, promoting the eco-school status. The students made birdfeeders out of plastic bottles, sticks and string and decorated them.

Coffee Afternoon - This Thursday

6th form are raising money for the Rotherham Hospice. There will be a refreshment stall, a raffle, lots of games like Treasure Map and Drop the Coin. It's on Thursday afternoon 21st March, in the hall, 1.45-2.45. Many thanks.

BARGAIN BREAK!

BARGAIN BREAK, our fabulous breaktime shop run by KS5A continues to run every Friday morning break. Don't forget to bring 20p to buy juice, biscuits and fruit! Watch out for new items and special offers coming soon!

KS2-5 Clubs

Two new clubs have been introduced at lunchtimes for KS2-5. Reading club is on Wednesdays when pupils can come along to access different genres of texts in a relaxed atmosphere. On Tuesdays we have our Sing and Sign club when we learn to sign and sign different pop songs! Both take place in Mrs Turnbull's classroom.

KS5C Water Aid Lunch

KS5C are organising a fantastic African themed lunch on March 13th in aid of Water Aid. 6th Form staff and students are all invited, for a mere 50p donation students can enjoy a delicious two course African lunch.

As part of this project we are also collecting items of stationery to send to our link school in Durban, South Africa. Any donations gratefully received, please place in the box in reception!

Trike Handover!

Ray Matthews handed over a specially-adapted tricycle to Newman School pupils at an assembly earlier this month.

Endurance runner Ray had completed a gruelling 150-mile run by completing the Round Rotherham course THREE times in a row in October last year.

"I was beaming from ear to ear" revealed Ray. "The work done by Newman School is something really special and they face a constant battle for funding. Everyone who collected money for the cause deserves a lot of credit. The staff and children were my inspiration to do the run. Without them, I wouldn't have got through it."

Our heartfelt thanks go to Ray, the staff of Goldstar taxis and pupils from the Westgate Mosque for their contributions and sponsorship.

KS3W Charity Events

KS3W are organising some exciting fundraising events in aid of local, national and global animal charities as part of their Enterprise work.

One group are holding a jumble sale in aid of the RSPCA for staff and pupils on Thursday 28th March, 930-1045 in Mrs Turnbull's classroom.

Another are making and selling cards at their coffee morning for staff and pupils on Tuesday 26th March, again between 930-1045 in Mrs Turnbull's room.

Another group are collecting donations of cat and dog food, toys, blankets, towels and newspapers to send to Thornberry Animal Rescue. All donations gratefully received, please place in the box in reception!

Don't forget to bring some money on these dates to spend at the events!

Newman pupils definitely have the X-Factor!

Well done to everybody who participated in 'Newman's Got Talent'!

What an amazing show. It was clear that everyone who performed put in 100% effort. Let's not forget all the hours that the students put in to making the event possible. Also, a very big thank you to Mr Saxton who has once again shown that he has a hidden theatrical side.

Although everyone performed fantastically well, there could be only one winner. We are thrilled for Isobelle who won and Rebecca who was the runner up.

Again, our collective cap is tipped to everyone who took part in 'Newman's Got Talent' and of course our hosts, Bilal and Joe! Congratulations everyone!
