Dear Parents and Carers
We have had a lovely final week of term. Thank you to FOWS who did a marvellous job in running the Easter Egg Hunt on Monday. The children were so excited about taking part and we really appreciate the support of all who came and took part. Year 6 saw their WW2 topic come to life on Tuesday with a visit to Swindon Steam Museum. Thank you to Mr Cobb for organising and to Mrs Lowther for accompanying Year 6 on this trip. We ended this term at St Peter’s Church where Year 4 and 5 led us in reflecting and exploring the events of Holy Week. Their innovative approach involved ‘News 24’ style updates on the final days of Jesus with interviews of key witnesses and even a weather report. All of the children should feel incredibly proud of the role they played in this service. I know some of them felt very nervous this morning but you wouldn’t have been able to tell. Congratulations to them and thank you to Mrs Lester and Mrs Collins for all of their hard work in preparing. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be your interim headteacher for these last two terms. Thank you to everyone, staff members, parents, governors and volunteers, for the role you play in our school community and for your kind words and support. I wish Woolhampton School all the best for the future and know I leave you in safe hands with Miss Purdy. Wishing you all a wonderful Easter. Melanie Higgs
