How you can get involved and become a committee member
There are lots of ways you can help and support your child through FOW.
Offering to help before events or at other times during the year is so valuable. It doesn’t matter if you can’t help on a regular basis, or even if you cannot come into school. There are always jobs that can be done from home if you have half an hour to spare e.g. wrapping gifts, preparing raffle tickets etc. We really couldn’t achieve what we do without the behind the scenes help that we receive.
If you would like to be more involved you can volunteer to be a Committee Member. Any help you give to our association this year will directly benefit the children at Woodlands Primary School.
You can contact the PTA by email Friendsofwoodlands@hotmail.co.uk, through our website or using Friends of Woodlands PTA Facebook. Please take a note of these details and be in touch!

Arthog Part 2 2019
This afternoon we have been adventurous and been Gorge walking overlooking Fairbourne beach. Some children even braved the ‘slide’. Great fun was had by all and we are now looking forward to a fish and chip dinner.
Arthog 2nd half 2019
After arriving safely through the picturesque countryside, we ate lunch and took part in team building exercises with our group and instructors. Beds were made without any fuss. The weather has been lovely here today so we ventured down the beach to explore our new surroundings and watch the sun begin to set. After a roast dinner, we spent our money at the tuck shop and set off for a night walk. All tucked up in bed asleep now ready for a fun filled day tomorrow.

The children are all packed and ready to come home and tell you about their adventures!
They are now doing their last activity – orienteering!

They have just enjoyed a visit to the tuck shop and are now having a hot chocolate.

The children have had a wonderful afternoon taking part in onsite team-building activities ready for the next few days. They also enjoyed a visit to the beach and got their feet wet!
We are just about to have tea and will then be going out for a night walk before bed. We are hoping to see a shooting star!
