We have had an eventful final week in school, but for a change it was for all of the right reasons and not Covid related! Read about our Year 6 leavers events, Year 5 celebrations, things to think about to get ready for September, our summer reading challenge, the Arbor Parent Portal and lots of summer camps available in the local area.

Have great summer, see you again on 6th September!

Year 5, please can we have some more …?

Year 5 left us wanting some more after their fantastic performance of Oliver The Musical today in school. Keeping audiences small and socially distant, they performed their piece a number of times to different groups from across KS2. Well done to all of the cast and teachers for a wonderful show.

The Coolest Party In Town!

What better way to party on one of the hottest days of the year than with an with outdoor disco followed by a water battle to cool off?

Year 6 did things a bit differently this year! They have enjoyed a day long leavers event that included an afternoon outdoor disco, pizza supper, an amazing ‘Class of 21’ photo arch, and to finish of, a mega 6G vs 6J water bomb battle!

The teachers might have enjoyed it just as much as the pupils by the looks of it!

Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating – We hope it’s a peaceful and joyous day.

In addition to this, Year 6 pupils are currently putting the finishing touches to their Bronze Arts Award portfolios ready to submit by moderation by Trinity College London advisors next week. They have worked hard all year to ensure they are exceeding the criteria when their work is moderated.

National Success For Woodcroft’s Award Winning Dance Team

2nd Place Result in The Great Big Dance Off 

Woodcroft’s amazing Dance Team have achieved an incredible 2nd place in the The Great Big Dance Off’s national primary competition. Schools had to send in a video of their composition for judging. In fact we were only 1 point off the top spot after the judges added up the results! The team had only 6 weeks to choreograph and perform their dance so they have done amazingly well. Miss Williams, our Dance Coach said, “It’s been quite a challenge putting this dance together in such a short period of time but worth the hard work! Well done to my amazing dance team!”

Woodcroft Pupil Wins Prestigious Music Scholarship

We are delighted to announce that Bianca (Y5) has been awarded a Mayor of London Young Musicians Scholarship by the Trustees of the London Music Fund. Scholarships are awarded to pupils who have shown exceptional talent, commitment and enjoyment in their music-making. Only the very best students across London are recommended for a scholarship and it is therefore a great achievement to receive this award! Well done to Bianca, and our fantastic music teachers from BEAT. Mrs Boden, Bianca’s woodwind teacher,  commented, “Bianca works hard in lessons and in her practice at home, her playing is beautiful. I’m delighted that she has been awarded this well deserved scholarship.” We look forward to watching Bianca develop as a musician.
