Queen Elizabeth II 90th Birthday Party
We decided to celebrate the Queen’s special birthday with a whole school party. On Friday 10th June, the children throughout school came together in the hall and celebrated together sharing party food and team games. They all made their own crown and dressed in red, white and blue.
Woodhouse Eggsfactor
To end the spring term with a bang, we decided too create our own talent show called the Woodhouse Eggsfactor. All of the school (and parents) came to watch and be entertained. The children had to audition weeks in advance and practice their routine so that they were ready to perform on the stage. They were all fabulous! We had three surprise guests arrive to help ensure the judging was accurate (see if you can spot them in the photos below). There were solo acts, dancers, actors and even a hula hoop group! It was a difficult decision, but after much deliberation, the judges decided that Ellis (Year 6) should win first prize, Cool Gang second prize and the Clever Clarinetists third prize. What a superb way to end the term! Have a look at the photos below.
Anne Frank Exhibition
Year 6 have been responsible for curating the Anne Frank exhibition housed in school. After intensive training, the children then provided tours and workshops for every class, parents and Governors. We invited some local schools to attend the exhibition and they were very impressed by the way Year 6 conducted themselves, as indeed was I; well done, year 6!
Woodhouse Close Church Present Donation
Year 6 have created a healthy tuck shop which sells Frubes, apples, bananas, grapes and cereal bars, every Friday. The children are using the money raised from this toward an end of year treat for themselves. This term, they truly made our school proud when they decided that the money they had raised (a fantastic £150.00) would be used to buy Christmas presents to donate to the local church. The children wanted to make sure that everyone had something to open on Christmas day. They walked round to the local shops, bought the presents and then presented to Jane Armstrong in assembly. We cannot put into words how proud we are. Keep up the fantastic work Year 6!
Children in Need
Every year we like to support Children in Need. This year’s theme was superheroes and what a fantastic day we had! All children and teachers came into school dressed as their favourite superhero and donated money to a fantastic charity. Well done Woodhouse!
Harvest Festival
KS1 and KS2 had the opportunity to celebrate Harvest Festival at our local church, Woodhouse Close, on Friday 9th October 2015. The parents joined us and each class prepared/performed a piece about the meaning of Harvest. It was a very enjoyable morning!

This year, we have had many visitors into school. Recently, we celebrated World Book day. All of the children, teachers and other adults made a huge effort dressing up as their favourite book character. Have a look at the photos below!
