• Eggcellent Easter Fun!

  Fri 31 Mar 2023 Mr Hopkinson

  This week has been very exciting, particularly with Wellbeing Days taking place on Monday and today, along with our ‘eggciting’ egg rolling and decorating competition yesterday.

   

  The children had a fantastic time competing in the egg rolling. Each child initially competed against their classmates to get a class winner. Each of the class winners are as follows:

   

  Mollie (Brilliant Bunnies), Leo (Brave Bears), Toby (Courageous Caterpillars), Lenny (Curious Crabs), Charlie (Perky Pandas), Ava (Kind Koalas).

   

  The winners from each class went into a grand final and after some tense rolling, the overall winner was Leo (Brave Bears). Well done, Leo – I wouldn’t want to go ten pin bowling with you!

   

  Also, a huge well done to everyone that took part in the egg decorating too. I absolutely loved looking at all of the amazing designs. I know Miss Creber had a very difficult job in choosing the winners! After much deliberation, the following winners were chosen:

   

  Eric (Brilliant Bunnies), Joanna (Brave Bears), Rio (Courageous Caterpillars), Arabella (Curious Crabs), Louie Ch (Perky Pandas), Samhita (Kind Koalas).

   

  Well done children, and thank you to Friends of Woodthorpe Infants for organising the prizes for the winners!

  

• Ducklings and a Disco

  Fri 17 Mar 2023 Mr Hopkinson

  It has been a very exciting and fun week at WIS with the arrival of the duck eggs on Monday and so many of the children dancing the night away at the disco on Thursday! We have had four ducklings hatch so far and we are keeping our fingers crossed for the last one. I must also take this opportunity to thank the Friends of Woodthorpe Infants for organising another fantastic disco for the children, and also the staff for staying and supervising the children. The DJ was brilliant and kept the children entertained throughout!

• Reading Recommendations

  Fri 10 Mar 2023 Mr Hopkinson

• Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

  Fri 10 Mar 2023 Mr Hopkinson

  It has been a very exciting week with the snow we have had, as I am sure you can imagine. It has been lovely seeing the children have an amazing time playing in it, and quite amusing at times seeing staff trying to keep the children engaged when snow can be seen outside the classroom windows!
