Welcome Meeting 2019

E-Safety Workshop Wednesday 24th April 2019

Rainbow Gate

We have started decorating hearts and adding a positive message which will then be attached to the gate in the shape of a rainbow. On the gate we have attached a wallet full of different coloured hearts for you to decorate, write messages on and cut out. For those of you that are unable to pick one up from school, we have attached a document with the templates on for you to print at home. This will also be on the class pages on the website. All completed hearts can either be left in the finished wallet on the gate (for those of you out on your daily walk!) or scanned and emailed to the admin address so that we can print them. We will then laminate them and tie them to the gate. 

We will keep you updated on twitter as to the progress we are making.

Thank you.

Take care and stay safe.

The Wood End Team.

Year 2 History Off the Page Workshop - Toys - Tuesday 14th January 2019

During our History Off the Page workshop, we had a fantastic time exploring and learning about the types of toys children played with in the past.

Year 2 have had a fabulous and busy start to the new school year!

Superheroes - Friday 13th September 2019

Last week Year 2 had lots of fun dressing up as Superheroes to celebrate our topic this term. The children will be developing their skills by writing a Superhero Comic, and their presenting Superheor Show and Tells.

History Off the Page Workshop - Florence Nightingale - Wednesday 18th September 

As part of the History Curriculum, the children are studying Florence Nightingale. ‘History Off The Page’ provided workshops for the children this week including role play—washing clothes and bandaging patients. They made candle holders along with other items Florence Nightingale would have used/seen. Thank you to the parents for providing the great costumes, and to those who helped on the day and the PTA for partly funding this event. The children had a fantastic time!

 Scooter Training - Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th September

Scooting is a fun and healthy way to get around and has become a popular way to get to school. It encourages active travel from an early age and it can develop skills that will also help with cycling such as steering, stopping and balancing. This week a representative from the Safe and Sustainable Journeys in Schools Team came to carry out Scooter Safety training which encourages responsible scooting. It is vital to ensure that children can handle their scooters competently and that they know how to ride safely and with consideration for others. Well done to all the children for taking part.
