50 Things To Do At Newburgh
We believe in providing children wiht opportunities and experiences beyond the traditional curriculum. Every child at Newburgh has a 50 Things To Do At Newburgh book.
In this book there is list of 50 things we believe children should experience while here so they leave us as well rounded individuals. These things may help prepare them for the next stage in life (learning to put on a tie, polish shoes) or they may be specific to our local area (spot migrating geese), some may be things every child should do at least once (jump in a puddle with both feet, build a den, toast a marshmallow over a campfire). When an activity is completed evidence is put into this book which children will receive as a souvenir of their time here when they leave us at the end of Year 6.
