Don came to visit on Friday 8^th December and the whole school were really excited.  Each class participated in a 30min workshop with Don and his team.  They worked hard and quickly learned their parts in the play.  At 2pm all the classes met in the hall to perform together.  It all went very well as always and the children all really enjoyed the day.

Thanks Don – we all look forward to the next one! I wonder what the theme will be next time

A big thanks for coming to visit and present on Friday the 26^th January to our Years 9s and KS4 pupils Devon Elliot who works in the NHS and is a School Governor with a presentation and fun activities about the many different careers in the NHS

Congratulations to all of those who took part in the careers interview last Friday ( 26/1/24) with Dr Jamie Maddock from Quilter Associates. The morning was spent going over CV’s and employment skills. Dr Maddock was very impressed with New Woodlands School and the careers provision. He looks forward to coming in again next year. A special mention goes out to Hannarly Wilmot (above) in LH. Hannarly was certainly the best dressed and spoke very eloquently about his ambitions once he leaves school.

Mandela Class had the opportunity to travel to London to visit the Science Museum with Ms. Jean-Paen.  Spread across seven different zones, the class had the opportunity to interact with real scientific phenomena in the Wonder Lab. We saw lightning strike before our eyes, experience how sound waves create a disturbance in water and how thermal imaging cameras work.   

Around the rest of the museum we saw old airplanes like Spitfires, space rockets and re-entry pods and sculptures and vintage cars among other interesting inventions.
