Following on from last year’s successful pre-school workshops we have more fun-filled activities planned for the new school year. The sessions offer an opportunity to come and see our school in action, meet new friends and chat to school staff. You and your little ones are all warmly invited to come along and join us for fun-filled gardening, arts and crafts and cookery too. Please spread the word and bring a friend along too!

This afternoon we had our first School Meeting of the new school year – thank you to everyone who joined us. We enjoyed looking at work from our Key Stage 2 classes, presented certificates and awards to some children who had been busy doing things outside of school (horse riding, judo, swimming, miming and even indoor skydiving) and congratulated our first batch of ‘extreme readers’.
Well done to everyone who took the time to take part in Miss Duffy’s 2015 ‘Extereme Read’ – we’ve enjoyed reading all about your summer reading adventures and learning exactly where you have managed to read 😉 We hope to have a wonderful display soon to celebrate your hard work.
Yesterday we enjoyed listening to speeches made by the candidates for the ‘Executive Committee’ of our School Council. Thank you and very well done to Scarlett, Poppy, Edie, Zoe, Spencer, Harvey, Isobel and Holly for your clear, confident and carefully prepared presentations 😀
This morning we were delighted to welcome back our ‘Open the Book’ visitors to share our act of Collective Worship. Assisted by the pupils of Willow Class, Mrs Fleming and Mrs Haddock read and acted the story of The Creation. Thank you 😀
We’re delighted to have received news of Woodborough School successes in both the Poetry and Illustration Competitions that we entered in advance of this year’s Marlborough Literature Festival.
Congratulations to Amelie and Tabitha whose illustrations have been ‘Highly Commended’ and Noah and Grace who were runners-up in the poetry competition.

Thank you to everyone who kindly donated items of stationery last term when Mrs Shanagher wrote to parents to say…
“My brother and I have set up a school for my mum who recently passed away. She used to work in Kenya for the flying doctors’ service with Sir Michael Wood and then taught children in her later years. The school is called ‘The Greta Rowe Primary School’ and is at the foot of Mount Kenya near a town called Nanyuki.
The school currently has two classrooms and 40 children, looking to eventually have 60.
At the moment the children have nothing, so I’m asking for donations of unused pencil cases with ruler, pencil, rubber sharpener and/or any coloured pencils or pens that are no longer being used.”
Here is a wonderful photograph received this morning of happy pupils and staff with the items they received…
