Children from year 3 and 4 were invited to have their flu vaccination in school. The children were very mature about this and their behaviour, manners and attitude were all commented on from the nurses administering the vaccine. Thank you!

The children all attanded a 'Fencong Assembly'. Wayne, who delivered the assembly, was promoting a club which he will be running in schoolafter Christmas. There were many volunteers to help him show the rest of the school some basics! The club will run from 16th January for 4 weeks and costs £20. Children have this opportunity annually and feedback in the past has been extremely positive.

Christmas Project Homework

Calling all children and parents! We are looking for some amazing ‘Christmas Themed Project Homework’. You continue to amaze us, with your creativity and innovative ideas, when completing project homework.

Again, you can use any medium of your choice; 3D, 2D, collage, ICT, performance …

We would like these brought into school during December.

 

Christmas Card Competition

Would you like to win book tokens or a retail voucher? If so, please read on.

Why don’t you have a go at designing a Christmas Card. The card will be used by Lancashire Catering Services and given to their clients.

You can choose whatever style you like; traditional, modern, cute or humorous.

The medium that you use is your choice; collage, sketch, paint or 3D.

The closing date for completed cards is Tuesday 28^th November. These should be handed into Mrs Leggett and these will be passed onto Lancashire Catering Services, where the final selection will be made.

On Friday 10th November 2017, the children and staff at Woodlea showed their respect to all those that have lost their lives in conflict, by observing a two minutes silence.

Dear Parents/Guardians

 

This year we will be having a whole school Harvest Festival Celebration in school on Thursday 26^th October at 9.05am. Our celebration will be supporting Leyland Food Bank, based at Leyland St Marys Church. This project aims to provide basic food needs of people in crisis across South Ribble. At this time they are in desperate need of food items. Therefore we are asking each child to donate one grocery item. To ensure a wide range of produce please refer to the list below.

 

• Tinned fruit or vegetables
• Tinned soup
• Tinned meat or fish
• Jars of sauces e.g. for pasta curry or casseroles
• Tinned spaghetti, ravioli or beans

 

In addition, any gifts of tea, coffee and sugar will be appreciated.

 

I am sure you will agree this is a worthwhile project supporting our locality. Please send any items in to school before Wednesday 25^th October.

 

All adults are invited to the Harvest Celebration Assembly, when a representative of the Food Bank will be joining us.

 

Thanks for your continued support.

Our Year 3 & 4 children had a great day with Josh and Matt, from The Football Development Programme. They had a practical session playing football and one in class looking at Maths.

Thyank you to all your contributions for the Coffee Afternoon. It was great to see so many of you sharing the afternoon with the children and staff at Woodlea. 

Todays Star Baker was Amelie with her 'Endangered Species Cake'.

All the children and staff are invited to have their lunch on a special 'Birthday Table', during the month of their birthday. 

We are very proud of our children at Woodlea and encourage them all to be confident individuals.

There is a strong pupil voice in school and we have four committees: Eco Committee, Fair Trade, School Council and Food Council. Each class has representatives on each committee. The chilodren decide which one they would like to stand for and design a campaign poster to promote themselves. Following on from this they stand infront of their class and give a shore speech as to why their classmates should vote for them. The children in class then participate in a secret ballot to elect their representatives.

The following children will represent each committee.
