St Mildred's Bay had a spooktacular day full of fun activities. During today's special bucket time, Mr Foley pulled out lots of tricks and treats from his cauldron, followed by a pumpkin volcano and some blood covered hands! The children have also had some pumpkin play-doh mats they could design with their own faces which were very creative! Mr Foley also made a halloween themed sensory tray for some fine motor skill practice, using tweezers to seperate the bats and eyeballs! 🎃

Ramsgate has been awarded £20 million in government funding to improve the town over the next ten years (2026–2036). The plan will be shaped by local people’s voices and we are working to ensure especially those of disabled and neurodivergent residents are included. To ensure those voices are represented, Neurodivergent Friends CIC are working with Thanet District Council to host an accessible, in-person consultation session for disabled and neurodivergent people, parents, carers, children and young people, and families. Consultation Session Details 📍Tuesday 21 October, 11am–3pm (drop-in) 📍Union Ramsgate, 25–27 Queen Street, Ramsgate CT11 9DZ 📍Drop in anytime - stay as little or as long as you like 📍Light refreshments and neurodivergent-led child support and activities (crafts+games) provided to ensure families with children can attend. 📍To thank participants for their time, a limited number of £5 vouchers will also be available for those attending in-person (first-come, first-served, make sure to register interest with the form below). This will be a calm, inclusive, and accessible session designed to ensure disabled and neurodivergent residents (or those working or attending regular provisions in Ramsgate) and their families can share their experiences, ideas, and priorities for Ramsgate’s future. You don’t need to be an expert - just someone who lives, studies, works, or accesses services in Ramsgate and cares about access, inclusion, and community life. Feedback from this event will directly inform the Ramsgate Neighbourhood Board’s 10-year vision and investment plan to be submitted to the government later this year.

Polly Billington Becomes Honorary Member of Newlands Primary School Council Children at Newlands Primary School in Ramsgate were thrilled to welcome a very special visitor last week — Polly Billington, Labour MP for Thanet. Polly joined the newly elected School Council to discuss their manifesto pledges, share ideas for upcoming Halloween celebrations, and give the children a glimpse into life as a Member of Parliament working near the iconic Big Ben. As part of the visit, Polly presented the new councillors with their official School Council badges, marking the start of their term representing their classmates. In a surprise twist, Headteacher Mr. Bailey presented Polly with her very own honorary School Council badge — a gesture that delighted the MP. “I’m absolutely honoured to have been made an honorary member of the Newlands School Council,” said Polly Billington MP. “The children were full of bright ideas, enthusiasm, and a real sense of responsibility for their school community. It was wonderful to see their commitment — and to receive my first ever school badge!” The visit coincided with World Mental Health Day, which the children marked by wearing yellow to raise awareness and show support for positive mental health. “We were so pleased to welcome Polly to Newlands,” said Headteacher Mr. Bailey. “Our pupils were inspired by her visit and proud to share the great work they’re doing on issues that matter to them — from kindness and mental health to community spirit. It’s a day they won’t forget.” Polly’s visit was a memorable occasion that celebrated youth leadership, civic engagement, and the importance of talking about mental health — all core values at Newlands Primary School.

Last Wednesday, Year 1 and 2 enjoyed participating in a Multi-Sport Festival. The children practised their throwing and catching skills in a series of sports games, such as: dodgeball, handball, skittles and a passing and catching race. It was a fantastic afternoon, and was amazing to see the children developing their skills, working as a team and getting competitive. They showed incredible sportsmanship throughout the festival, as they cheered for each other's success, and shook hands with the opposing schools. Mr Musgrove and Miss Warner were very proud of their triumphant efforts, and enjoyed seeing the children having fun as they embraced the new challenges.

Our Year 5/6 girls travelled to Cliftonville to take part in the first round of the DW cup. Competing against the hosts themselves, Stone Bay, Drapers Mill and St Gregory's in a round robin format, all the schools vied to progress to the next round. The day started with a tough 1-0 loss to Draper's Mill, despite some excellent defending and goalkeeping to keep them in contention. It was a back-and-forth affair that ended with Newlands just falling on the wrong side of the result. This was followed by a 2-0 loss to eventual winners Cliftonville and another 2-0 defeat to Stone Bay, though the latter was a much closer contest. Despite their best efforts and incredible teamwork and cheerleading, a narrow 1-0 defeat in their final fixture rounded out the day. Although the results did not go Newlands' way, the day was earmarked by fantastic team spirit, sportsmanship and effort. We would like to say how proud we are of our girls and the way they competed throughout the tournament and we can't wait to see them get back out there!

This week in Minnis Bay we visited ‘Newlands Supermarket.’ The children had to help Miss Warner sort out all of the food! They were shown the different food groups, and then asked to work as a team to place the pictures of food items into the corresponding food group. After the children sorted all the foods correctly, we then created our own Eatwell Plate, so they learned how to have a balanced diet and eat healthily. 😊 #TeamNewlands

Last Friday the Year 5 and 6 boys participated in the John Curran Cup Football Tournament. The boys showed great determination as they continually challenged the opposition, disrupting their chances of scoring. Tommy-Lee showed excellent skills upfront, putting pressure on the opposition's defence. Amari helped Newlands to secure a draw in their final match, making some incredible saves. Mr Musgrove and Miss Warner were very proud of the whole team with how well they played and represented Newlands!
