First Aid Workshop

Yesterday the whole school took part in First Aid workshops. We learnt lots of new things including how to call for help, put someone in the recovery position and mouth to mouth resuscitation. We hope we don’t ever need to use what we have learnt, but if we do, we are prepared!

COP27 Schools Conference

At Woodland Primary we have enjoyed taking part in the COP27 schools conference today and feel it’s important to be involved.  We found out about natural and new technological devices that will help many environmental issues the world is facing today.  We have all made pledges about what we can do at home and in school to help stop climate

change.

This week all the children at Woodland had a lovely treat.  ASDA in Bishop Auckland brought in a pumpkin for every child to carve.  Everyone had a fantastic afternoon and there were some great masterpieces.  We would like to thank Pat Kingsnorth from the village for organising this and for the ladies from the Natters group for helping.

We have had some special visitors to Woodland this week.
