Your weekly round up of events in school and what's coming up
Mr Reding
Mr Reding
I would like to inform you that Mr Reding, our Reception teacher, will sadly be leaving Wood End Primary at the end of this term. Over the years, both in Nursery and Reception, he has been a passionate and kind presence within our school community.
He has built strong relationships with the children, parents, and staff, always bringing a positive energy to everything he does. His love for music has been a hallmark of his teaching, and it’s clear to see how he has inspired the children through his creative lessons.
While we will miss him dearly, we wish him all the best in his future endeavours and are grateful for the impact he has had on many of our children, families and staff.
Kind regards,
Warner Stainbank

The Hive - Year 3
The Hive - Year 3
Children did the map workshop where they did some orienteering using map reading skills by reading coordinates. They then built shelters and linked it to history to our stone age unit and science about what humans need to survive. They also looked at different plants and trees also linked it to science and they identified deciduous and evergreen trees and how plants and trees are dormant in the winter.
As I am sure many of you are aware, Children and Young People’s mental health needs are rising exponentially and waiting lists for support are at their highest.
Our school is lucky enough to have support from the Schools Counselling Partnership who offer support to children, young people, families, parents, carers and our teaching staff.
However, school budgets are stretched which means that we have to make very tough decisions about how we spend our money. Next year our external funding for this service is being cut so now more than ever we have to look at ways to raise money so that we are able to keep this invaluable service in our schools.
This January we are inviting parents, carers, children, young people, teaching staff and Therapeutic Leads from SCP to join the Winter Walk. This takes place on Sunday 26 th January and participants can choose to walk 5km (with their families), 10km, a half-marathon or a full marathon.
It is free to register and on the day you will get: Free refreshments, Free bobble hat, A medal.
All we ask in return is that you:
Get people to sponsor you via our just giving page,
Share the just giving page on your social media pages
Thank anyone who sponsors you on your social media pages
Share any photographs from your training walks or on the day too.
This isn’t just about fundraising it also helps us to raise the profile of the service and creates a great sense of community.
Good Mental Health comes from: Exercise, Diet, Connection to others and Giving back This event ticks all of those boxes. If your New Year’s Resolution is to get fitter this is a great thing to work towards to keep you on track!
If you would like to join (on your own, with a partner or family members) just click the link below to register: https://www.ultrachallenge.com/london-winter-walk/schools-counselling-partnership/Look forward to seeing some of you there!
