Year 6
Forest School Fun 
Five of our Year Six children are currently working really hard with Miss McFarlane learning forest school skills in a local woodland. The children have been den building, shelter building and making their own campfires to cook food. Everybody is having a great time!
Summer Term
Leavers Ball
The leavers ball will be held on Monday 14th of July and will be a fantastic night, where the children and staff can get dressed up and celebrate their time at New Park!
Enterprise update
Last week the children baked and sold their own products. The bake sale was a huge success and nearly all groups made a profit. The children were excellent sellers and all cakes were sold by the end of the afternoon. The children have showed excellent bussiness and team working skills, well done! See below for pictures of them making their products!
