Home Economics is a subject at Woodland School. Students can learn how to cook and sew. Before many students did not know how to do things for themselves but now they can cook healthy and tasty food.
They have a reading week every year. They can read any books from the school library. They can also bring in books and magazines from home. They can talk to their classmates about their books near the end of each class.
