We had a fantastic Harbour Learning Trust training day on Friday.
Mr Briggs kicked off the day by reminding us why we’re all here, and the power we have to change lives and support communities.
We were then joined by the phenomenal Diana Osagi – experienced headteacher, coach and author. We learned how to be the authentic version of ourself, and how to be courageous in our leadership. Take a look at Diana’s kind words about Harbour Learning Trust
Proud to be Team Woodlands, and proud to be part of Harbour Learning Trust

What a brilliant day!

Year 4 started the day with an amazing trip to Magna, to learn all about natural disasters and forces of nature.

We then held our Year 4 sleepover.  We played games, took part in orienteering, did a quiz and even put up tents in the atrium to sleep in.

The children (and staff!) were amazing and we can’t wait to do it again soon.  What a great experience for our young people to take part in.

We’re so excited to share that we are now using Canva at Harbour Learning Trust.
Canva is a powerful tool for creating educational content. This will support us with injecting Delight and Joy into all of our lessons, and will support effective communication with our families and communities.
Seven members of Woodlands staff recently attended Canva training in Manchester and Leeds and will be training the whole Woodlands team up this week!
We can’t wait to use this amazing tool to provide an amazing education.

This week, some of our children attended Great Coates Primary Academy to kick-start our Empathy Day celebrations with children from across Harbour Learning Trust.

We’ve had a shoutout on Twitter from the Empathy Lab team!

We can’t wait for our whole-school celebrations this Thursday.

 

We are proud to announce that we have been shortlisted for Inclusive Trust of the Year in this year’s TES Awards.
We’ll let you know how we get on at the awards ceremony later this month!
We are so proud to be part of Harbour Learning Trust, and love working with such wonderful children, families, staff and communities every day.

Year 4 Explore Changing States with a Hands-On Science Workshop

This week, Year 4 were thrilled to take part in a Hands-On Science workshop all about changing states of matter. Led by a visiting science specialist, pupils explored the fascinating processes of melting, cooling, and solidifying through a series of exciting experiments.

Using real equipment and materials, children observed how wax changes from a solid to a liquid and back again – and even got the chance to make their own colourful candles! The workshop included:

The session brought science to life and supported our current science topic brilliantly. The children were engaged, curious, and full of questions – it was a memorable experience that helped deepen their understanding of materials and their properties.

A huge thank you to our science visitor for making it such an interactive and inspiring afternoon!

 

 

We had great fun today celebrating our friendship with St Marks Church, who wowed us with their band.  We love working alongside you. Thank you for coming in.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to make an Easter bonnet and join us for our parade today… we loved it!

We hope you have a wonderful Easter break!

 

We were delighted to welcome Healing Academy, Oasis Wintringham, LHP Housing and Compass Go to our parents and carers evening today.

Mr Blockley from Healing Academy was delighted to speak with a number of families about their plans for secondary school and all the wonderful things Healing Academy has to offer – proud to be part of Harbour Learning Trust.  We’re not sure what tickled Miss Wright and Mr Blockley but they seem to be having a giggle!

Similarly, Mr Hyldon from Oasis Wintringham enjoyed meeting the Year 5s and 6s this evening.

Our friends from Compass Go were delighted to talk to parents and carers about how they can help support children’s mental health and wellbeing, and colleagues from LHP were on hand to offer housing advice and guidance.

Thank you all for attending!

Thank you very much to St Mark’s Church for hosting our first Art exhibition.  The children were delighted to showcase their work from this term, inspired by Picasso, Banksy and Henry Moore.  We’re feeling very proud of our creative children, well done!
