Woodpark Primary School

With great sadness we announce the death of a past staff member, Mairi Mitchell. Mairi worked at Woodpark for over a decade as a teacher, Principal Teacher and Depute Head. She was much loved by all members of staff who were lucky enough to work with her. She was a remarkable woman and will be sorely missed. We send all of our love to Mairi’s family and friends at this very sad time.

Please click this link for the booking form for next week’s breakfast club.

Children coming along to breakfast club should arrive in time to have their breakfast before their class starts – particularly important for P1, P3 and P6 who go to class at 8.50am!

As the Easter holidays begin we are all being reminded of what we need to keep the virus at bay so we can get to level 3.

A letter from the Director of Public Health in NHS Lanarkshire to parents to help provide an update on how to take care over the holiday period and to keep families, relatives and friends safe is attached.

We are all encouraged to do our bit.

Thank you,

Head Teacher

It was the best feeling having all of our children back in the school building today, we have missed our middle to upper school very much and oh my how they’ve grown!

Thank you so much to all of our parents/carers for their continued support, we are so grateful for all the help you have given to your children and to us through this very challenging time.

Please ensure you check homework diaries for Parental Phone call dates and times, these will be written on individual stickers in the diaries.

Happy Monday from all at Woodpark!

On the 19th of March the children will be undertaking a bundle of fun activities all in aid of Comic relief. We will make a donation on behalf of everyone from the school, however we want the children to be fully involved in this amazing cause. This year, Red Nose Day will be a dress down day (19/3), please feel free to wear anything red to mark the occasion! The theme this year is Funny is Power, so all of our activities will be based around having fun and a laugh.
In the afternoon of March 19th, we will be running two events and would appreciate your help with this. Please see details below:

“You’re Jokin’!”

Do you see yourself as a bit of a comedian? If so, please send in a video of you telling your favourite joke, or maybe a few of your favourite jokes – all appropriate for school use, to us! Use the assignment link on this Google Classroom page to submit your video and 1 or 2 from each class will be chosen to be shown during the Masked Singer.

The Masked Singer!

Do you see yourself as a bit of a performer? If so, please send in a video of you singing a current popular chart song and use the assignment link on this Google Classroom page to submit your video. The important part here is that it is the MASKED singer, so make sure your identity is not revealed in any way! Wear a fancy dress outfit, a mask, a disguise – anything to make sure we can’t tell who you are! 1 or 2 singers from each class will be chosen to be shown during our Masked Singer show in the afternoon.

PLEASE ENSURE ALL ENTRIES ARE SUBMITTED TO THE GOOGLE CLASSROOM PAGE BEFORE WEDNESDAY THE 17TH OF MARCH

Thank you for all your help in advance!
