Your weekly round up of events in school and what's coming up  

Goodbye Mrs Campbell 

Sadly we say goodbye to Mrs Campbell after 26 years at Wood End. I would like to thank her for all her hard work and dedication over the years. It is going to be very difficult to replace her as she has covered many different areas across the school, from leading our Wood End Activity Passport and Christmas Fairs, supporting children with dyslexia, supporting individual children, teaching classes, helping with residential trips and many more.
We are all going to miss her and wish her well for the future as she relocates to Somerset! 

Friends of Wood End Primary School  

If you would like to become a valued member of the Friends of Wood End Primary School team please email the school office on admin@woodendprimaryschool.com We hope to recruit an active group of parents who will be able to work with staff in delivering special events and fundraising. 

Year 1 Phonics  

Year 1 children will have their Year 1 Phonics assessments in the next  two weeks please make sure that the children have plenty of sleep and arrive to school on time every day. 

Ace Adventures - Year 5 

Year 5 children will take part in Ace adventures next week on the 15th and 16th June 2023.  If you have not returned your signed medical forms please do so by Monday.  If you have not signed up for this trip please contact the school office by Monday. 

Charity Work- Dhanya from Year 5 took part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2023 at the end of May. Dhanya ran 5km in the beautiful Scottish city of Edinburgh along with hundreds of other people raising money for charities such as Cancer Research and British Heart foundation. Dhanya's dad cheered her on whilst also running the race. Mum and Dad are very proud of her achievement and all the training she did beforehand really helped, including taking part in park run on the weekends.  Dhanya raised an amazing £400 and has a lovely medal to remind her of the day. The medal is inscribed with the wise words we should all remember:
Great things never come from comfort zones!
