  • Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics - District

    Published 30/01/25

    Earlier today, a squad of Year 6 children represented the school at the district Sportshall athletics competition. This competition is a Woodland View favourite and we have seen some great success at this event. Earlier in the year, our Year 3 and 4 squad were able to win their competition!

    Sportshall athletics includes many different events: sprinting, jumping, throwing and working as a team. Throughout the competition, children compete in track and field events to help score points for their team.

    It was a pleasure for Mr Willars, Mrs Walker and Mr Oelrich to attend this event with the children as they showed amazing cooperation, respect and determination during all the events. They are extremely proud of the children too for cheering each other on loudly and enthusiastically during the track events! In 12 running races, the team were able to achieve 9 commanding first-place finishes and 2 very close second-place finishes.

    After completing all of their events, it was time for the children to find out how they had performed overall. In a field of thirteen strong schools, Woodland View came first overall!! They scored a staggering 525 points across all the events, beating the second-place school by more than 150 points!!

    We are incredibly proud of our 2025 SHA squad! Because the team finished in first place, this gives them a great chance to represent the district at the county finals at the end of February. We are still waiting to hear whether we have reached this round as there was another competition this afternoon and we await confirmation of the results from that event.

    We keep our fingers crossed for progression to the next round, but applaud our Y6 team for their amazing success so far!

    Earlier this week, a team of Year 3 and Year 4 children represented the school at the district Sportshall athletics competition. This competition is a Woodland View favourite and we have seen some great success at this event in previous years.

    Sportshall athletics includes many different events: sprinting, jumping, throwing and working as a team. Throughout the competition, children compete in track and field events to help score points for their team.

    It was a pleasure for Mr Willars, Mr Oelrich and Mr Baxter to attend this event with the children as they showed amazing cooperation, respect and determination during all the events. They are extremely proud of the children too for cheering each other on loudly and enthusiastically during the track events!

    After completing all of their events, it was time for the children to find out how they had performed overall. In a field of ten strong schools, Woodland View came first overall!! They scored a staggering 410 points across all the events!

    We are incredibly proud of the team! Because the team finished in first place, this gives them a great chance to represent the district at the county finals at the end of February. We are still waiting to hear whether we have reached this round as there was another competition in the afternoon.

    We keep our fingers crossed for progression to the next round, but applaud our Y3/4 team for their amazing success so far!

  • Kindness Value Awards

    Published 20/12/24

    This morning was our termly values awards and of course, at this time of year, it also had a festive twist. Mr Cadge had 'decked our hall!' Therefore, Mr Horsley conducted the awards from underneath a huge "Merry Christmas", inflatable archway. Festive tunes were played as the children danced down the red carpet to receive their awards and hear from the teachers as to why they had been selected for our term's value of... KINDNESS.

    It was also a time to say a big thank you and farewell to Mrs Stawniczy, who is moving on to being a teacher nearby at Hartwell Primary. We may still see her briefly at the start of next term, but we wish her all the very best in her new role and will miss her skills and talents at Woodland View!


    Miss Wagstaff shared a poem on our term's theme of Kindness.

    I can choose to be kind,

    Each and every day.

    I can choose to be kind,

    To everyone, in every way.

     

    When I am kind to others,

    I make the world a little brighter.

    When I am kind to others,

    I make my heart a little lighter.

     

    So plant a seed of kindness,

    And watch the world bloom.

    So plant a seed of kindness,

    And we'll chase away the gloom.

    By Hayley O'Connor
