Dear parents, WELCOME BACK! I hope you had a fantastic summer with your family. We have loved welcoming the children back to school this week and seeing them settle in so quickly!
Dear parents, I hope you are all having a great summer. We look forward to seeing all of the children on Wednesday 3rd September.
We had a very packed final Values Awards of the year. Mr Horsley was leading proceedings for both the KS2 and KS1/FS assemblies.
The children were very excited to take to our famous red carpet and hear the comments of our teachers about why they had been chosen for the RESPECT value awards. Year 2 had even decorated their teachers especially for the event - please see Mrs Evan's wonderful ensemble in the picture below!
Along with our Year 6's we also said goodbye to a number of staff:
Mr Baxter - who has been a wonderful volunteer (throughout the school but particularly in Year 4) throughout the whole year.
Mrs Brennan - who has worked in a range of capacities and classes throughout the school.
Mrs Atkinson - who has worked primarily with our early years children.
We say a huge thank you to all of them for their work at our school and wish them all the very best in their future endeavours. We will miss them all!
Dear parents, as we approach the end of another academic year, it's a natural time to reflect on all that we’ve achieved and to look ahead to the future.

On Thursday, a team of Year 6 children represented the school and county at the NFL Flag East Midlands Regional Championships! The competition was organised by the NFL and took place at Nottingham University. The team had previously placed second at the county level, losing only one game out of five. To get to this stage was an amazing achievement!
Upon arrival, we were gifted a kit to represent the New York Giants. This would be the NFL team that we would be representing on the day. The competition started with an incredibly tough game (against the team we lost to in the previous round), but the team were able to rally and win their first match. They followed this up by then winning their next match comprehensively before losing in a hard-fought third game. After lunch, the team scored another win before losing for the second time in the day. They finished this portion of the day with 3 wins and 2 losses. Some of these games were tough and each member of the team showed great skill on offence and defence, amazing respect and sportsmanship and outstanding cooperation and teamwork! After another short break, the team found out they had finished 3rd and had qualified for the semi-final!
In the semi-final, the children worked and played incredibly hard and kept going and going even when it got tough. Unfortunately, the team was unable to get the win and did not advance to the final. In the 3rd place playoff, the team faced a well-matched school from Derbyshire. Earlier in the day, the team had lost, but they fought well to win the game after an early setback! This was a wonderful redemption and the team, staff and parents were incredibly proud of this performance.
This means that Woodland View finished 3rd overall at the regional level! Unfortunely, this does mean that the team haven't qualified for the national finals in June. However, this achievement is truly amazing and we are incredibly proud of our squad; they only took up the sport in PE in the middle of February and they have done an amazing job learning the sport in such a short space of time!

On the last Friday before the Easter holiday, we celebrated one of our school values - Honesty. Mr Horsley led our special assembly, where each of the Honesty winners - 2 from each class, nominated by their teachers - danced down our famous red carpet to hear the words of their teachers explaining why they had been selected for the Honesty awards.
Our children were highly supportive of the winners, high-fiving each child as they came down the red carpet to accept their awards.
