Platinum Jubilee Celebrations at Woodland

27th May 2022 By katrinascanlon

We’ve had a very busy week in school celebrating the Platinum Jubilee with our children.

We had a lovely Platinum Jubilee celebration in school on Tuesday afternoon. We were joined by families and members of the community for an afternoon tea and traditional games. Cliff Harding presented all the children with a commemorative Jubilee medal on behalf of the parish council. A great time was had by all!

On Thursday our cook Karen also made a Platinum Jubilee buffet for all the children to enjoy , it was delicious!

Owl class have also been busy writing to the Queen to thank her for her 70 years of service and congratulate her on her Platinum Jubilee. Please click below to see a sample of these, we are keeping our fingers crossed for a reply from the Queen.

Batik Art Work Bags

8th April 2022 By katrinascanlon

In Design and Technology we made batik patterns by making patterns with PVA glue.  When the glue dried, we applied acrylic paint and let it dry.  Then we washed the fabric which removed the glue and excess paint, so we had died fabric.  We hand-sewed the side of our purses/ wallets and Mrs O’Brien guided us to use the sewing machine to make the channel for our rope pulls.  Finally, we added the pull ropes using a long upholstery needle. 
Don’t they look amazing!

Science Week & Life Centre Visit

31st March 2022 By katrinascanlon

British Science Week

We have enjoyed celebrating British Science week at school, with a trip to the Life Centre at Newcastle where we enjoyed investigating in the creative zone, attending an animal show, visiting the planetarium and Key Stage Two also participated in a Light workshop. In school, we have been planting seeds and predicting how they will grow and we have been finding out about forces. On Monday the Life Centre organised for children in Key Stage Two to have an online chat with a scientist.

We also launched our CREST science award which will run for the next 12 months. CREST is the British Science Association’s scheme for STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) project work that inspires young people to think and behave like scientists and engineers. It is a nationally recognised scheme for student-led project work in the STEM subjects. The children will need to complete 8 challenges in order to gain their award. These will take place in school but can also be completed at home.
