Dear Parents/Carers,

We are delighted to tell you that on Monday 27th March we are hoping to take the Year 3 children to Manchester Museum of Science and Industry.

Our theme work this half term is all about Magnets and Forces and we feel that a trip to the Museum would provide the children with an excellent experience of hands on learning. Whilst at the Museum the children will specifically learn about ‘Forces and Flight’ through an interactive show.

Throughout the course of the day, the children will also be able to carry out experiments and visit the different areas on the museum.

We intend to leave school at 9am and return at approx. 3pm.

The children will require a packed lunch and those on school dinners will be provided with a packed lunch.

As a team we are very excited about the trip and the activities connected to it. In order for this trip to take place the cost will be £7.80 per child and we ask for this to be returned alongside the completed permission slip by Friday 17th March. Should sufficient funds not be raised to cover the cost of the visit, it will be cancelled.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs Smith and Mrs Younis.

Spooky World Book Day Friday 3^rd March 2017

Dear Parent/Carer,

As you may be aware, National World Book Day is on 2.3.17, however Woodlea will be celebrating on Friday 3^rd March 2017.

We have a fantastic day planned for the pupils, which school is running alongside Spook Teaching Ltd. The workshops are based on characters and storylines from ‘The Spooks’ series of books by Joseph Delaney http://www.spookteaching.com/

The day will involve:

• A launch assembly at 9.05 – parents and carers are invited to this.
• Writer’s workshops.
• Drama activities led by qualified performers.
• Potion making and other ‘spooky’ activities to stimulate pupils’ ideas for writing.
• A closing assembly at 2.45 - parents and carers are invited to this.

Over the course of the day, pupils will have the opportunity to purchase a copy of ‘Spook’s Apprentice’, which has been signed by the author Joseph Delaney. The books are aimed at very confident Year Four readers and above; they will be sold for £6.00 per copy.

All pupils are being asked to come to school on Friday 3^rd March dressed as their favourite spooky book character/villain. We are asking for a £2.70 donation towards the day, which must be in school by Monday 27^th February 2017. If sufficient funds are not raised, the workshops will have to be cancelled.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Hannah Whitehall

Assistant Head

Mrs Dring, headteacher at St Andrews CE Infant School said goodbye today for the last time. She will be starting at another school after half term. Mrs Dring has been at the school for 7 years and was the headteacher to all our children at Woodlea. A group of children were asked to attend her special assembly. The children shared some of their memories, wrote a poem and performed it to the children, staff and friends of St Andrews. 

Everyone at Woodlea would like to thank Mrs Dring for all the help, support and guidance that she has given to all the children during her time there.
