Message from Mrs Haggett

It has been a wonderful second week back at school, and the energy across the classrooms and corridors is truly fantastic. Our extracurricular clubs are now in full swing, offering a brilliant range of activities for the children to dive into. If you haven’t already, please remember to book through Arbor to secure your child’s place, as spots are filling up fast!

In other exciting news, Nala, our new therapy dog, has officially begun her training. We are so looking forward to the positive impact she will have on our school community. For your child to be able to interact with her, we must have your formal consent on file; please take a moment to ensure you have granted permission via the Arbor app so no one misses out on a wagging tail and a friendly greeting.

Schools Pledge Healthy School Programme

We are thrilled to share that we have officially engaged with the School Pledge programme! 🌟 This exciting initiative is all about empowering our pupils to make positive choices for their bodies and minds.

To kick things off, the children recently enjoyed an introductory assembly where they learned all about the "building blocks" of healthy living. The energy was fantastic, and we are so proud of how engaged they were!

🚫 Important: Birthday Treats & Cakes

As part of our commitment to the School Pledge and to keep all our students safe (especially those with allergies), we kindly ask that no whole class cakes, sweets, or treats be brought in from home. We still love to celebrate! To keep things fair and healthy, the school will provide special whole-class treats during key times of the year, such as Christmas 🎄 and Easter 🐣.

🍱 Building a Better Lunch Box

A nutritious lunch provides the "brain fuel" needed for a successful afternoon of learning. If your child brings a packed lunch, please aim for a balanced mix:

  • Fuel Up: Wholemeal bread, wraps, or pasta 🥪

  • Grow Strong: Protein like chicken, eggs, or beans 🍗

  • Get Your Glow: Plenty of colourful fruit and veg 🥕

  • Stay Hydrated: Water or plain milk are the best choices 💧

Did you know? High-sugar snacks can lead to a "sugar crash," making it harder to concentrate in class. Swapping a chocolate bar for a piece of fruit makes a huge difference! 🍎

🌟 Join the Journey

The School Pledge is a team effort! We encourage you to chat with your children about healthy lifestyles. By working together, we can make Co-op Academy Woodslee a place where every child thrives.

Thank you for your incredible support! 🌟

Why Attendance Matters

Every Day Counts! Why Attendance Matters So Much! 

We know life happens, and sometimes being absent is unavoidable. But did you know that every day you miss school means lost learning time? It's true! Each day is packed with new lessons, exciting discoveries, and crucial building blocks for your education. When you miss even one day, it can be really tough to catch up on missed work and feel confident with new topics. 

Think of school like a team sport: every player needs to be there to practice, learn the skills and contribute to the game. When someone's missing, the whole team feels it! The same goes for your learning journey. You're part of a classroom community where every discussion, every activity, and every teacher explanation helps you grow. 

Why is consistent attendance SO important?

  • Keeps you on track! You won't fall behind on important subjects.

  • Builds confidence! Understanding what's happening makes school more fun.

  • Helps you make friends! Being present means more time with your classmates.

  • Develops good habits! Punctuality and responsibility are skills for life!

Let's make a commitment to be here, ready to learn, every day! If you're struggling to get to school, or if there are barriers making it difficult, please reach out to us. We're here to support you and ensure you get the most out of your school experience.

Let's make every day a learning day! See you bright and early!

Here is a newsletter post ready to go for your school community!
