Robinwood – Year 6 Residential
40 of this year’s year six children have had a three day residential experience in Alston, Northumberland.
During these few days the children have experienced a wide variety of challenges, experiences and activities. These have included; The Piranha Pool, Giant Swing, Trapeze, Crate building, River Walk, Canoeing, Night Line, Team Challenge, Caving, Climbing, Obstacle Course, Zip Wire and the list goes on.
The activities started as soon as the children got off the coach from Leyland, with a three mile nature walk, incorporating lunch, quizzes and information about the local area. From then on the children have not stopped, apart from to eat and sleep.
Thank you too to Mrs Strickland, Miss Alty, Mr Brierley, Mr Cook and Mr Baxendale for giving up your time and supporting the children with this unforgettable experience.
Below are a number of photos taking during the first two days. 

On Thursday 9th July, Woodlea’s Parent’s, Teacher’s Association held their termly disco.
Yet again there was a fantastic turn out from the children of Woodlea. As the weather has been warm, the PTA decided that they would sell ice pops to help cool the children and adults down!
The evening was again a huge success, raising £300 profit, which will go directly to the children.
The disco is provided by Ricardo & The Comets. They play current and game music and have dancers on stage, showing the children the dances to the songs.
As part of the children’s entrance fee, they have a drink and a packet of crisps.
Thank you to all the PTA members who helped to organise the event.

Woodlea Sports Day – Monday 6th July 2015
The sun was shining, the equipment all set up, the children, parents and staff all ready to start …
There were 22 activities set up, ranging from ‘Tin Can Alley’, ‘Hockey Dribbling’, ‘Netball Shooting’ to the more traditional ‘Obstacle Race’ and ‘Sprints’.
Giving the children the responsibility in choosing the order in which they could complete the activities and also who they wanted to go round with, proved a success.  The children had just over an hour to complete as many of the activities as possible. At each event there was an adult who awarded points or placings – depending on the activity completed.
The morning culminated with sprint races for boys and girls for the uppers and lowers and an ‘Egg and Spoon Race’ with REAL eggs!
For those relatives brave enough, they were invited to take part in an adult sprint race, which the children loved. The teachers too were invited to take part in a race, supported by all the children in school.
The morning in general was a great success.
Thank you to Mr Cook for his organisation and all the staff who helped with the activities.

Today at Woodlea, all Dads, Uncles and Grandads were invited into school to have their lunch with their children, nephews or grandchildren.
There were a lot of men who did come and eat in school. It is always nice to see the support from outside school. The children always like to have relatives in school, particularly to help celebrate Fathers Day.

Thank you to everyone who did come into school and have their lunch.

Today was the start of 'Woodlea's Thursday Picnics'. The sun was out and the children were all excited for the first of many this half term.
All the children had the choice to buy a picnic lunch or they could eat their own sandwiches, brought in from home.
It was great to see the children outside, particularly because the sun was shining. They ate their picnics with friends from across the school and continued to play games until the end of lunch.
Lets hope that the weather next Thursday is as good as today.
