The Coppice Primary School also visited us recently to carry out The Great
Bug Hunt 2013, which involved students investigating the school grounds
to see what organisms live here.

Over the last few months teachers
from Maths, English and Science
have been to some primary schools
delivering different units of work.
This has allowed pupils to meet
some of the Woodrush staff and
get to know the ‘Woodrush Way’,
not to mention earn some merits!
A huge Thank You to the staff and
pupils at Hollywood, Coppice, Tidbury
Green and Meadow Green.
“Over the last few weeks I have
been to visit some of our main feeder
schools. They have been completing a
science project based around the moon
and how craters are formed. The aim is
to teach the students the way we carry
out science experiments and the key
words that we use at Woodrush.”

“I found that all the pupils were really enthusiastic and perceptive. They
had some great ideas and all made
an effort to be actively involved in
the lesson.”
