CONGRATULATIONS MRS SELLICK!
Yesterday we held a surprise assembly for Mrs Sellick to celebrate the incredible achievement of twenty five years at Newbridge. We all think the world of Mrs Sellick and Katerina in Year 4 summed up our feelings when she said that Mrs Sellick is ‘just like a mother to all of us’. She was also described as having a ‘heart of gold’, ‘always happy’ and ‘good with children and helps us when we are bleeding’! Many said she is ‘just lovely’. At the end of the assembly, Mrs Sellick said that she has loved every minute of her time at Newbridge and there is nowhere else she would rather be. Here’s to another 25 years at Newbridge, Mrs Sellick!

§ For our Harvest Festival next Friday we are asking children and staff to bring in produce on Thursday (to go to the Blue Room). This is then going to support the homeless through Julian House. Please ensure the produce is non-perishable ie tins and packets. Julian House have said that the following are always needed: rice, pasta, tinned fruit, tea, coffee, baked beans, cereals, biscuits ……Thank you for your support for the Harvest and for Julian House.
§ As mentioned before last term, Mrs Bartlett is leading the review of our transition procedures throughout the school. Your time in completing the questionnaire attached is greatly appreciated and will be very helpful when revising our procedures to make the transition for our children even smoother from one year to the next.
§ A big ‘welcome’ to Matilda (2C) and Ben (Elm) who have joined our school. Matilda was previously at St Andrews. Our very best wishes go to them and their family and we hope they will be very happy here.
§ A big ‘well done!’ to all our Reception children on the very positive start they have made at Newbridge. They also coped extremely well with their first whole school assembly and the loud welcome!
‘LET'S GROW’ VOUCHERS
We have started collecting Morrisons’ ‘Let’s Grow’ Vouchers. Last year we had a great collection and received a wheelbarrow, some seeds, compost and some gardening tools. We also gave every Year 3 pupil a pack of bean seeds from Morrisons for joining the scheme. Please ask family and friends to start collecting again! There is a collecting box in the school office. Many Thanks, Miss Simpson

SCHOOL COUNCIL
On Monday the school council met and chose a Local charity, a National charity and an International charity. We all decided by voting. We chose:
Local charity – South West Children’s Hospice for terms 3 & 4
National charity – Great Ormond Street Hospital charity for terms 5 & 6
International charity – Mercy In Action for terms 1 & 2
A big ‘thank you’ to the school councillors for representing their classes, and the class councils for giving their views and ideas.
CERTIFICATES OF EXCELLENCE
At the end of every month each class teacher has a very difficult decision to face. They have to choose the one person from their class to receive a Certificate of Excellence. The person they choose has to consistently be the best that he or she can be. That could be in effort and attitude, achievement, behaviour or citizenship. Sometimes it can be very difficult deciding as all of the children at Newbridge seem to work so hard and behave so well!
The girls and boys with their names here this month deserve congratulating. It is not easy to be awarded a Certificate of Excellence and they have done extremely well.
