We are thrilled to announce that our very own Miss Lucy will be stepping into the role of Academy Club Coordinator for our wraparound and holiday clubs here at Woodslee. While she will continue to be in the office until later in May, you'll soon start to see her involved in both Breakfast and After-School Clubs. This is an exciting new chapter, and we have no doubt she will excel in her new position. Please join us in congratulating Miss Lucy on this fantastic opportunity!
We are excited to announce that our very own Mrs. Stant will be stepping into the role of Administrative Assistant in the office. She will continue to teach her wonderful class alongside Miss Neil until the end of the academic year, at which point she will fully transition into her new role in September.

Please join us in giving her a warm welcome — we know she’ll do an outstanding job, as she already has strong relationships with both our staff and students.

You may have seen all of our balloons as you collected your child from school today; we have been raising awareness for World Autism Awareness Day.

We embrace everyone at Woodslee. Thank you Miss Ball for a lovely interactive assembly this morning

Our F2 classes have thoroughly enjoyed watching plants grow in their gardening area. From digging in the mud to planting seeds and watering their flowers, they've learned firsthand how plants need water and sunlight to thrive. ๐ง๏ธโ๏ธ๐ผ
Year 3, Year 5, and Birch had an amazing time exploring Dibbinsdale Wood, where they enjoyed nature walks, hands-on learning, and discovering the wonders of the great outdoors.

Dear Parent/Carer,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you of an important update regarding the storage of medicines in school.
In accordance with the Trust’s Supporting Pupils with Medical Needs policy, we are no longer permitted to store general medications such as Calpol or Nurofen for pupils.
If your child requires medication during the school day, please visit the School Office to complete the relevant form. This will enable us to sign in the medication on a temporary basis and ensure it is administered safely.
Should your child become unwell or require medication during the school day, we will contact you, so that you can bring in the necessary medication if required.
Full details, please refer to the : Supporting Pupils with Medical Needs Policy (2024).
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please contact the school office.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Mrs Haggett
Head of School

We’ve noticed that some families are using the wooden playground equipment on our KS1 field after school. Due to insurance reasons, this play equipment can only be used during the school day when supervised by Woodslee staff. It is therefore prohibited for public use out of school time.
We want everyone to have a safe place to play, so it’s really important to take care of the playground.
Thank you for your continued support

We're flipping out with fun in Nursery today! ๐ฅ๐ณ Our tuff tray is brimming with flour, eggs, pancake shakers, sieves, and measuring spoons – it's STEM at its best! ๐ฅโจ
Happy World Book Day 2025! ๐ This year, our staff theme was inspired by the book Leon and The Place Between. In the story, Leon wants to prove his magical powers to his siblings and volunteers for Abdul Kazan's magic show. With that in mind, Woodslee brought the magic show to life! ๐ช๐คก๐คน๐ปโ๏ธ๐ชโจ๐ง
We've had the most amazing day, complete with our own circus! We’ve captured so many wonderful moments that we can't wait to share. ๐ช๐คน๐ปโ๏ธ๐ง๐คก๐ชโจ
We absolutely love seeing our children take the initiative to improve our school environment! Just look at this eco-warrior with Mrs. Fee. Together, they spent their break tidying up our playground (though Steven Seagull still managed to find some leftover crisps! ๐ฎ๐๏ธ๐ฏ). Well done, beautiful! Thank you for showing you care and making a difference. ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ
Year 5 had a wonderful morning at our annual Bible Exhibition! They worked in small groups, exploring the books of the Bible through engaging activities. ๐๐ A big thank you to our visitors for sharing your valuable knowledge with us! ๐๐
This week our three Academies have united to kick off the implementation of our teaching & learning strategy… Teach Like a Champion! The energy and enthusiasm from our entire staff team is truly inspiring, and we can't wait to get started!

As you are aware, the area around the academy becomes very busy at these times, and unfortunately, the way some cars are currently being parked is creating a dangerous situation for our children. To ensure the safety of all pupils, we kindly ask that you park a little further away from the school and walk the remaining distance. This will help to reduce congestion and improve visibility for pedestrians and other drivers.
Please remember to:
โ
Park in areas away from the school gates
โ
Avoid stopping in no-parking zones or blocking driveways
The safety of our children is our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in making the school run safer for everyone. Thank you for your support in this matter.
Parking restrictions like double yellows and zigzags are there for the safety of pupils (and the general public), allowing them a safe place to cross the road. They are also enforceable by fines issued by police or parking enforcement.
Please see information within the letter at the bottom of this newsletter.
Recently, Year 4 students visited the Liverpool World Museum as part of their History project on the Romans. They had the exciting opportunity to dress as if they were living in Ancient Rome and participated in a hands-on workshop to discover fascinating historical facts! At Woodslee, we believe in bringing learning to life – because education extends beyond the classroom! ๐๏ธ๐บ
Year 5 have had an incredibly fun time this term during their Friday afternoon Art lessons. By combining collage, painting, sketching, and monoprinting, they've created some stunning pieces of artwork ๐จโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ผ๏ธ. Miss Bennett is impressed by their creative expression, inspired by the poem 'Ghost in the Garden.' Well done, Year 5!
Wow, you are absolutely AMAZING ๐คฉ! We are truly blown away by the incredible kindness and selflessness shown by our little princess in Year 3 ๐ธ๐ผ๐. Having long, thick hair down to your bottom is a blessing, but choosing to cut it all off and donate it to others who aren't as fortunate is what truly makes you a princess ๐ธ๐ผ๐. Not only have you donated your hair to the Little Princess Trust, but you've also raised an incredible £650 in sponsorship! We are so incredibly proud of you.
Our Year 6 football team had an afternoon of fun at Co-op Academy Bebington, competing in the Houlihan Cup against Heswall Primary. While we didn’t come away with the win, the team played brilliantly, creating some fantastic chances and with outstanding saves from our keeper. Onward and upward – we go again! ๐๐๐ปโฝ๏ธ๐
Wow… check out the incredible artwork created by our Birch artists! They've been exploring the work of Paul Cézanne and have used a variety of techniques to create their own 'still life' masterpieces, inspired by his style. ๐จ๐๏ธ๐ฉ๐จ
We did it! Staff from all three Wirral Primary Academies completed our sponsored Spinathon! We managed to spin the combined distance of 1474 miles! (Helped along by Hillside pupils on Friday afternoon). This is same amount of miles from Wirral to Naples in Sothern Italy! A huge thank you to our communities and families for their support and donations. We have raised a huge £1347 for Wirral Mind . We are so proud to be able to raise awareness and much needed funds for such a worthy cause.
