On Thursday 22nd June, 4S had a visit from two of the Greggs Agents of Change team. The children were set a challenge in teams to earn points by taking part in a range of tasks. The children showed fantastic determination and teamwork, succeeding together.
The tasks focussed on healthy eating, making healthy choices and asked the children to reflect on how the choices we make impact the environment.

On Thursday 23rd June, we invited the families of our Year 3 and 4 children into school for a delicious breakfast. We had a wonderful time together, sharing some food and drinks before school. It was a great way to start the day!
We’d like to thank our catering team, our staff and our parents and families who attended. Keep your eyes peeled for the next breakfast invitation!
We have lots of exciting events coming up over the next few weeks, including sports days, assemblies and performances. Keep your eyes peeled for the dates around school, in our letters and in the Events Section of our website.
On Wednesday 7th June, some of our year 6 children headed to Lineham Farm in Eccup, Leeds, for our annual residential.
Lineham Farm has been enhancing the lives of local children since 1993 when it was converted into an outdoor children’s centre. This 17th century farmhouse, set in 120 acres of outstanding natural beauty, is the perfect place to provide children with much-needed respite and fun!

King Charles succeeded to the throne on the death of his mother – Queen Elizabeth II – on 8 September 2022. The coronation is the ceremony at which Charles will be crowned king. The traditions of the coronation date back hundreds of years and every coronation has taken place in Westminster Abbey in London since 1066. However, the Palace has emphasised that although the coronation of King Charles will be rooted in long-standing traditions it will also reflect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future.
Welcome Back!

This week, Year 3 had their second session of the National Literacy Trust’s Young Readers Programme.
Volunteers from Turner and Townsend came into school to teach the children about things that were designed based on nature. They then designed their own building based on something in nature, such as a tree, plant or animal. The children then got to choose a second book to take home and keep!
Take a look at what they got up to!
This week, some of our pupils started the Co-op Young Leaders Award. Twenty pupils from Years 4, 5 and 6 took part in a whole day event led by Mrs Garrity from Co-op Academy Stoke. She delivered the programme focusing on key skills that pupils need in order to develop leadership skills. They undertook tasks that involved workig on their own speaking and listening skills, providing feedback and presenting with confidence. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to start their leadership journey.
The next task for our Co-op Young Leaders is to volunteer their time to support others. We can’t wait to see what they get up to and share their successes with you. Keep an eye out for our Co-op Young Leaders wearing their badges with pride!
The children did Woodlands proud on their first day with Mrs Garrity on the Co-op Young Leaders Programme. They showed fantastic enthusiasm and excitement and I can’t wait to see them flourish in their leadership roles.
