Woodlea Primary

@HGold_author everyone one of our Y6 children received a copy of Bear Rescue for World Book Day, kindly purchased by our PTA!! #WorldBookDay2026

@MGLnrd Darkus of course - predictive text corrected it and we can’t edit a post!!

@MGLnrd Our year 6 class are reading it at the moment and loving the intrigue. Darius has just gone to Towering Heights to visit Novak! We can’t wait to find out what happens next!! #beetleboy

A video from the vault! This was shot 10 years ago when my debut Beetle Boy was about to be published. A 10th anniversary edition will be available from June 2026 with new cover, introduction and a prologue that reveals how the beetles came to Nelson Parade.

@MichaelRosenYes Also Zak enjoyed the section on The War. He found out about doodlebugs & he didn’t know about the buzzing stopping and what that meant to people. He thought Bratwurst was funny when you were visiting Germany and all you wanted was the bratwurst!!

@MichaelRosenYes Year 6 have been reading “On The Move”. Daniel wants to share that his favourite poem was Dear Oscar & Rachel as it was very personal & he likes the history. He likes Two Languages because it made us laugh when it said “take the bagels out of your socks!”

Year 6 had a fantastic time at the author event this morning finding out about The Lone Husky. We’ve just finished reading The Last Bear and can’t wait to read more!! @HGold_author @Our_Bookshop

@HGold_author @HarperCollinsCh Oh my word!! Our children are going to explode when we show them this 😍

Year3 had a lovely trip to the Newcastle Reform Synagogue this afternoon. They showed excellent knowledge and then learned even more! Seeing the 200 year old Torah Scrolls was a wow moment for us!!

Year 4 did an excellent job with their Science assembly! They know everything there is to know about solids, liquids and gases, they could even rap about them!! Well done everyone! 🤩

What on Earth has happened to school over half term? We are in the middle of a jungle!! This morning there were paw prints everywhere too!! #books

Year 1 did an “explosive” assembly this morning all about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot which they’ve learned about in History. What a confident performance they gave us! Well done everyone and special mention to Bonnie who played Guy Fawkes and sang a solo!!

We've had a brilliant 4 days with @authoradam (& Jet & Belle!) and each class had half a day working with him. We send HUGE thanks to Adam & to our Friends of Woodlea who paid for his visit. It's through their fundraising that we can do these wonderful events for our children!

Adam, with the help of lots of wonderful actors, told us an amazing story. It was about how giraffes got their long necks and how the hyena got its laugh. We’ve had a fabulous week with @authoradam

It’s always the best time when Adam Bushnell is with us. He did a whole school assembly this morning and he’ll be working with each class over the week - perfect for National Storytelling Week!! @authoradam

Year 6 made excellent elves for Santa today!! Well done everyone 🎅🏻 #elves

We had an amazing time at the panto on Friday. Mr Brown is now going to marry Bella Hook, Mrs Key was roasted about her age but poor Mrs Francis was put on stage to do Tik Tok dances!! Thank you so much to the Friends of Woodlea for such a wonderful Christmas treat!! 🏴‍☠️🎭 #panto

An exciting opportunity. #Jobvacancy

A strange suitcase appeared in our classroom this morning. Joe is modelling the contents. It must be something to do with our new book!! What could it be? #bookwithahook #story @theliteracytree

An absolutely huge thank you to everyone who supported Year 6 with their Children in Need fundraising last Friday. We made a staggering £1538.20!! @BBCCiN
