Dear Parents

13^th October 2016

PARENTS’ EVENING

We would like to invite you to Parents’ Evening on Wednesday 26th & Thursday 27th October 2016.  This will give you an opportunity to come in, look at your child’s work in class and speak with the class teacher as to how your child has settled into the new school year and how they are progressing. You can also share information which may be beneficial to the teacher. 

If you are unable to attend parents evening, please contact the class teacher, or myself, and we will be happy to make an appointment at a more convenient time.

During the evening there will be Teaching Assistants available in classrooms. This will be an opportunity for you to speak with them and see which strategies are used in maths and how additionally you can support your child at home.

We will also have lap tops set up in the Nurture Room, for parents to complete a short OFSTED Parent’s View questionnaire. All your responses are confidential and go direct to OFSTED.

Sarah Beardwood, our Family Support Worker will be in attendance during the evenings. She will be able to offer advice, support and direct you to relevant agencies who help with behaviour, budgeting, adult learning, to name but a few.

There will also be a ‘Pop Up Pharmacy’, where pharmacists will be available during the evenings to advise and suggest treatments on common and reoccurring ailments.

Could you please fill in the tear off slip and return to school asap, as appointments are given on a first come, first served basis.

Yours sincerely

Mrs J Shorrocks

Headteacher

All of the Woodlea Family are extremely proud of Ellise, who had 12 inches of her hair cut off. She did this to support the Little Princess Trust. Her hair was sent off to the charity who make wigs for little boys and girls who have sadly lost their own hair through cancer treatment.

Thank you Ellise!

The first Wednesday of each month, Mrs Leggett and Mrs Lunn sell 'Bacon Butties' to the staff and children.

Yet again today there has been a great uptake.

Dear Parents,

We are extremely happy and excited to announce that on Wednesday 21^st December 2016, we are taking the whole school to The Lowry Theatre in Manchester, to watch the matinee performance of ‘Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang’.

As you can imagine, the planning for such a visit takes months and the tickets were purchased in May of this year.  The full cost for the visit, including theatre tickets, transport and insurance will be fully funded by Woodlea’s PTA.

As this is a matinee performance, we will be returning to school later than the end of a regular school day, at approximately 6pm. However you will receive further details, including departure and arrival times in due course.

I am sure that you will agree that this is an amazing opportunity for our children.

Thank you for your continued support,

Jillian Shorrocks and Woodlea’s PTA
