Woodlands Weekly | 22nd December 2023
Published 20/12/23A message from Mrs Clark 🎄
It's been a fantastic term at Woodlands.
This year has been filled with challenges, but it has also been a testament to the resilience and strength of our community. Our students have demonstrated remarkable adaptability, and your support as parents has been invaluable. Together, we have weathered storms and celebrated victories, and I am truly grateful for the unity and co-operation that we see every day.
As we take a break to cherish the festive moments with loved ones, let us also reflect on the positive strides we've made as a community. Our students have shown dedication to their learning, and their achievements are a source of pride for us all.
The holiday season is not only a time for celebration, but for gratitude. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the trust you place in us. Your partnership and involvement in your child's education make a significant difference, and it is through our collective efforts that we continue to foster a nurturing and enriching learning environment.
May this Christmas be filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments with family and friends. Take this time to rest, rejuvenate, and create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
I look forward to the upcoming year with optimism and enthusiasm. Together, as the #TeamWoodlands community, we will continue to inspire and support each other on our educational journey.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Mrs Clark
Headteacher

Y5 & 6 Spelling Bee
Published 15/12/23On Friday 15th December, Year 5 and 6 took part in a Spelling Bee!
Children from each class signed up to take part, and had to come to the front of the hall and spell some moderate words in round 1. Those children who spelt them correctly then moved on to round 2!
In round 2, children had to spell a word from our high challenge list! Some of these words included: camouflage, disastrous, chronological and connoisseur.
In the final surprise round, the remaining spellers were given the task of spelling words that were not on the practice lists; they had to spell the names of cities from around the world!

6PH visit IntoUniversity 🎓
This week, 6PH have been taking part in their Focus Week with Into University! They've been completing a secret mission to show what they have learnt about Ancient Greece and will graduate today at the University of Leeds!
Pop Up Christmas Shop 🛒
Every day your child attends school, they will earn money to spend in our Pop-Up Shop! This is something the children have asked for and have promised they are going to try their hardest to be at school every day.
If your child is in school every day until the end of term, they can earn up to £10 to spend at the shop. This will be reduced if they have a day off.
We are mindful that some absences are authorised and therefore the children will not lose out. For example, an illness supported by medical proof of a GP appointment or a visit to a pharmacy, a hospital appointment if we have proof of the day and time of the appointment etc.
Children will have less to spend if they have an unauthorised absence, for example, illness with no proof of medical appointments, days off school with no explanation, holidays in term time, arriving to school late etc.
The children are very excited about spending lots of money in the shop, and they need your support to ensure they can be in school every day!
