On Thursday Matthew S & Jack R represented Woodlea at Balshaw's Primary Maths Challenge.  It was a great evening and I am very proud to tell you that the children did amazingly well and beat all the other 9 schools to bring the winners’ trophy back to Woodlea. 

 

Well done to them both!

Message from PNE....

We’ve joined up with SPAR, sponsors of the family stand at Preston North End FC, to bring you a fun drawing competition.

We want you to get your children to draw or paint their favourite PNE player and send the pictures into us at the Lancashire Evening Post.

There are fabulous prizes to be won including hundred’s of match tickets plus the top 10 designs will be displayed at the Football stadium for all to see…………and the overall winner will get the chance to meet the player they’ve drawn too!!!

We will print the top entries in the newspaper and every picture that is printed will receive 2 free match tickets for PNE vs Crewe on October 12. A judging panel will pick out the ten runners up including the overall winner.

Send your pictures to: Draw Your Favourite PNE Player Competition, Promotions Dept, Promotions Dept, Lancashire Evening Post, Olivers Place, Fulwood, Preston PR2 9ZA. Please include your name, address, telephone number and age on the back of each entry along with the name of the player you’ve drawn . Closing date is September 25.

The competition is open to children aged 16 and under. Entries must be A4 size and portrait style. LEP competition rules apply.

Out of Hours Learning

One of our key priorities for this academic year is to develop the provision for Out of Hours Learning.  Our aim is to provide our children with as many opportunities as we can outside of the usual school curriculum.  From September our two HLTA’s (Mr R Cook and Mrs E Cook – no relation!) will be working with staff, children and parents, taking the lead in helping us to develop this area. 
We know that at Woodlea we are very lucky to have some extremely talented parents who may be able to help us to develop this area by sharing one of their many skills.  If you would be keen to get involved in helping us to develop this area either through offering your services or just having an input in the kind of things you think we should be offering we would be really pleased to see you at an informal meeting on Friday 6^th September at 2.30pm. 

If you are unable to make this meeting please do contact school to express your views either via letter, phone or email.

Have a lovely summer holiday everyone and see you all in September.

 

Remember school opens on Thursday 5th September at 8.45am.
