All free school meal eligible families should have received their vouchers this week. If not please email FMA@northlan.gov.uk to check that your contact details are correct. You can also use this email address to request that your vouchers be sent by text.

From next week onwards the vouchers will be issued as one £20 voucher.

To use your voucher present it at a shop that uses Pay Point. Asda will also accept the vouchers if you take them the customer service desk.

We would like thank everyone for their patience, effort and understanding during this disruption to our usual daily and weekly routines.

We wish all of our families and friends a safe and restful Easter break and spring holiday.

Well done to this week’s Sumdog champions. For improving their score and showing great effort when developing their math skills.

Well done to our ECO friendly and responsible pupils.

During a walk they decided to take some bags and helped tidy up the environment and community around Cumbernauld. We are very proud.

If anyone would like to share photos or activities with us you can tag Woodlands Primary on twitter using @WoodlandsCnauld.

Below are some more links that can be used to supplement or replace some of the daily work children are doing.

Please remember this is new to all of us, children, parents and teachers. Play, conversation and spending time with children is just as important as formal learning. We know that learning happens in different ways and in different situations and we don’t want families and individuals to feel anxious at having to complete every piece of work. At Woodlands our primary goal is that everyone stays safe and to have happy, healthy children and families return to school after this unprecedented period is over.

During this unsure and unsettling time it’s important to remember that children and families feel safe, secure and nurtured. Learning can take many forms (not always written and recorded in a jotter!) Do not feel under pressure to recreate the school day at home. Stay safe and look after each other from all at Woodlands Primary.
