The Woodlands Christmas Parties are fast approaching!

All parties will take place on the week beginning Monday 13th – Friday 17th December – this will be a Christmas Fun Day for each class.

This year classes will not be mixing indoors. Party Days are:

Monday 13th – P6, P6/7 and P7.

Tuesday 14th  – P4/5 and P5.

Wednesday 15th – P4 and P3/4.

Thursday 16th – P2 and P2/3.

Friday 17th – P1 and P1a

Children can come to school on that day dressed in their party clothes.

Children do not need to bring anything as party snacks will be provided by the school.

From Monday we would like to encourage families to bring into school Christmas jumpers that your children have grown out of. We will organise and sort out the clothes during the week and have them redistributed to people who could use them during the festive period.

It is estimated that 1 in 4 Christmas jumpers are thrown away each year, or never worn more than once. So this year, instead of throwing that jumper away, why not give it a new lease of life with someone else? Christmas jumpers are often made from man-made, plastic based fibres such as polyester so they will never really breakdown in landfill – so we would be doing our part to help the environment too.

Well done to this week’s Star Pupils.

To help increase the uptake of the flu vaccine in children aged 2 to 5 (not in school) NHS Lanarkshire is holding drop-in clinics for this age group. Details are published on NHS Lanarkshire’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Please attend the drop-in clinic in the area where you live. Children must be aged 2 years or older on 1 September 2021 to be eligible.
