Key Stage 2 Area Athletics
40 Key Stage 2 pupils from Woodside attended Tamworth Athletics Stadium on Wednesday 24th June to compete
in the Area Athletics Day.
What a fantastic day we had cheering each other on as we competed in different athletics events!
Children took part in short and long distance runs, javelin, long jump, throwing and relay races. They represented
Woodside fantastically as they showed true sportsmanship and competitive spirit. Woodside came 4th overall but
there were only 20 points separating the top four schools!
Special mentions go to:
Amber Fraser—first in ball throw
Alisha Dickinson—first in javelin & 400m run
Izzy Westwood—first in 50m sprint
Jessica Day—first in long jump & 75m sprint
Sam Routledge—first in 600m run
Special medals go to Jasmine Brogan and Harvey King for outstanding resilience and determination and being
wonderful ambassadors for Woodside.
Well done to you all!
New PE Equipment
This week we have taken delivery of some exciting new equipment which has been bought with the kind donation
from Mr McCabe’’s charity fundraising from the Atherstone Ball Game. So far we have bought javelins, stop
watches, play tunnels, cricket sets, rugby balls, hockey sticks and a balance board.
The children will have great fun using this equipment during their PE lessons!
Father’s Day Lunch—Year 1
PTA Summer Fayre
Parents and carers of pupils in Year 1 were invited to join their
children for Father’s Day Lunch recently.
Fish and chips or cowboy pie were on the
menu and the children were very excited
about this special event. Parents commented
that it was so nice to be invited in to school
and see their children in their day to day
activities! It is certainly something that we
will be repeating for other year groups throughout the year.
Saturday 27 June 11am—2.30pm
Please come along and support your school
and have a great day out!
Birds of Prey, Bouncy
Castle, Tombolas, Games,
Homemade Refreshments
plus lots of other stalls.
Congratulations!
Replacement Water Bottle Lids
Congratulations go to Brian Gilliver from Year 1 who has
recently won a colouring competition organised by Pets at
Home. Brian was presented with a certificate and a soft toy
in Friday Assembly recently.
Reminder– replacement lids for your child’s
Woodside water bottle are available from the
school office at 35p each.
Miss Newman climbs Kilimanjaro!
My challenge is fast approaching and I am starting to feel a little nervous!
To date we have raised almost £1,500 for Zoe’s Place Children’s Hospice. This will go a long way to helping the
hospice to support children and their families with life limiting illnesses.
Any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated so if you would like to support this fantastic
cause please visit www.justgiving.com/neilandlucy2015
Whilst we are visiting Africa, we would also like to donate items to children in a small village in Tanzania. If you
have any unwanted stationery items or football shirts, please bring them in to the school office before the end of
term.
Thank you so much for all of your support! Your generosity will motivate me every step of the way on this
challenge of a lifetime.
Thank you—Miss Newman
Neighbours
Reception Father’s Day Sing-a-Long
May I respectfully remind you to be considerate
to our neighbours when dropping off and
collecting your child from school. Please use litter
bins provided by the Council outside the school
gates .
Reception children had a super Father’s Day Sing-a-Long
on Friday. The children looked after their special visitors
really well and treated them to beautifully decorated
ginger bread men. They sang some special songs to round
off the afternoon! A lovely time was had by all.
Academic Calendar 2015/2016
Please find attached the calendar for next academic year, including the INSET Days that have already been set.
May I remind you of the importance of ensuring that holidays are not taken during school time. Holiday forms are
available for completion from the school office but I am only able to authorise holidays taken in term time in
exceptional circumstances.
