National mining museum

Today we all had wonderful trip to the Lady Victoria Colliery. We walked through two floors of exhibitions, interactive, tours and had the opportunity to retrace the footsteps of thousands of miners and their families. During our workshop we got to dress up as a miner or a Victorian followed by our guided tour from Jim. The tour took us through the pithead , recreated underground roadway and coalface giving us the atmosphere and noise of a working pit. This is an experience we won’t forget!

Lots of photos will be posted shortly from our day trip!

Winter Fayre 2025

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Fayre last Friday. It was so wonderful to see so many people from the Woodmuir community coming together for this special event. The school was full of Christmas cheer and the children had lots of fun.

Profiling our learning

Today we started to design our individual floor books, recording our project based learning from the past few weeks. This involved lots of planning, literacy, Creativity, communication and critical thinking skills. We enjoyed reflecting on our journeys, recording the process and presenting our favourite parts.

Christmas Wreaths

Today we got in to the Christmas spirit by creating our individual wreaths for our Christmas Fayre day on Friday. We can’t wait to show these off to our grown ups. Lots of creativity, communication and collaboration skills.
