Woody’s Christmas visit
This afternoon, Woody the reading dog came to visit the children and even enjoyed his own Christmas dinner! Class 2 then had a lovely afternoon with Woody where they were able to read Christmas stories to him. The Shropshire Star came to visit too, so look out for us in the newspaper in the coming days.
After school, some of the other children around school came to visit Woody where he enjoyed lots of fuss.
Reading volunteers needed in school.
Do you have any spare time during the week?
We would welcome parents, grandparents and other family members who can spare a couple of hours a week to help support our children in developing word reading skills across the school.
If you are interested, please contact the office with your availability, or if you have any questions, please contact me.
Thank you for your support.

Woody returns on 15th October 2018
Woody is super excited to be visiting school next Monday afternoon. He is looking forward to hearing about all the wonderful books you have been reading.
Say hello to our new library team: Woody’s buddies.
To help keep our library tidy and organised, we now have a wonderful quartet from Year 4, aptly named ‘Woody’s buddies’. They will be helping Mrs Horton to promote reading across the school, working in the library area and supporting other children across the school in finding suitable books to read.
Woody the reading dog returns….
We welcomed Woody the reading dog back into school this afternoon.
He was very proud to award reading champion badges to children who were nominated for demonstrating a love of reading. Their job will be to promote and encourage reading across the school. We also had the Shropshire Star come into school to take photographs of the reading champions with Woody, so please look out for them in the newspaper in the coming days.
Woody had just enough time to listen to some readers in Class 4 and Class 5 this afternoon and was very sorry that he couldn’t get round to the other classes, He has, however, left a poster for every child in school, which has been ‘pawtographed’ by himself.
We will be welcoming Woody (and his owner, Anne) back into school during autumn term.
In the meantime, make sure you read at least 3 times a week!
‘Get caught reading’
Thank you for the photos already sent into school for our ‘get caught reading’ display. They are making a wonderful display in our corridor, but we do need more!
If you haven’t already sent a picture where you have been caught reading, it isn’t too late to join in. I would like to create a huge display in the library over the summer, with all the different places you have been caught reading in and the pets/people who have shared a book with you.
Get creative, then get your photo emailed into school for printing. Every picture received will be entered into a draw for a one-to-one reading session with Woody the reading dog when he returns on Wednesday 18th July.
Happy reading!

Woody the reading dog visit
On Wednesday 6th June, we had a visit from Woody the reading dog. The aim of the visit was to encourage children to read for pleasure. Woody showed the children his DVD and his interview with Clare Balding at Crufts. He then visited all the classrooms, leaving a ‘pawtographed’ poster. The children now have an opportunity to earn (or win) a one-to-one reading session with Woody on his return visit in July.
The children can enter a competition to design the cover of their favourite book, or they can send in a photo of themselves being caught reading. In class, everyone is writing a story based on Woody’s adventures which can then be read to a friend.
Woody will be returning to school on Wednesday 18th July in the afternoon for his reading session and to award 2 children from each class as a reading champion.
