At Friday’s assembly Mr Green spoke about online safety and being responsible. Over the next few months as it gets colder and darker as a school, we always notice an increase in inappropriate social media activity from children in Woodlands Primary School. In many instances this has been brought into school and results in disagreements in the playground.

More recently this appears in the form of:

– inappropriate messages between children.

– sharing private personal messages/screenshots with others.

– discussing and typing unkind things about children then adding them to the group chats.

We would like to encourage all parents/carers to take time to check apps that children regularly use and devices that children access to ensure that they are being used appropriately.

A quick reminder that Flu immunisations (nasal spray) will take place in school on Friday, 11th October. Could all forms be returned before Friday even if it is a no consent. Only children that have fully completed forms will be vaccinated that day. If your child misses this immunisation the catch up immunisation date is 27/01/25

Thank you to all who attended our Macmillan Coffee Afternoon. I think you’ll agree that the children were fabulous. With your amazing support we managed to raise a fantastic £528.

We wish all of our families a restful September weekend.

Please remember that Woodlands Primary School and Nursery is closed to pupils on Friday 27^th and Monday 30th for the September Weekend.

Both the School and nursery will reopen on Tuesday 1^st  October.
