Welcome – to Miss Eilish McLaughlin who has joined us this week as the new Beech class teacher until the summer holidays. She will be taking over teaching the class from me so that I can concentrate on Acting Headteacher duties. In addition, I am pregnant and will be going on maternity leave in the summer term.

Wildlife Area. Work is continuing on the wildlife area this Saturday (18th Jan). If you are able to come along and help, even for an hour or so, that would really help. If you have a wheelbarrow and certainly some wellies, even better. We will be there from 10 – 4 pm (weather permitting). All support is much needed and appreciated.
Box Top Tokens – Please keep bringing the tokens into school as this offer finishes in March. Since September we have collected 385 tokens which have enabled us to receive over 80 books for classes.
Emergency Closures – In the event of bad weather any closure or late opening will be announced on the radio by 8.00am, earlier if possible (BBC Radio Oxford and Heart FM Oxfordshire) and will appear on their websites.
We will also inform the Woodcote and Cabin Pre-Schools.
School closures are listed on the County website: http://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/schoolclosures and we will also notify parents of opening/closing on our school website: www.woodcote-primary.co.uk
