• Letter Box Gang

  Fri 23 May 2014

  Meet the Letter Box Gang!

  A group of 12 Year 1 pupils are taking part in a project called The Letter Box Project. These 12 lucky children will receive a monthly parcel containing books, stationery and games that will help them with their reading and writing.

  Each family will also have the opportunity to come to a monthly session with Marion McMillan to share ideas about how to use the lovely resources in the envelope and to make learning FUN! 

  We hope the whole family will enjoy the parcels over half term. Marion is looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday 6 June in Room 11 as soon as you can after 3.00 p.m.

• Open Evening for New Pupils

  Wed 14 May 2014

  This evening we had the opportunity to welcome some of the children who will be joining us at Westfield Infant School in September 2014.

  It was a lovely sunny evening and we were delighted that so many families came to see the school and to meet the staff.

  Each family had a guided tour given by a member of staff or a govenor. We received a number of positive comments about the grounds and the wonderful facilities we have here.

  There was also an opportunity to meet Marion McMillan our Family Learning Tutor and staff from Redmoor Academy who provide our school meals.

  A leaflet giving details about What happens next in the process was given to the families who joined us. Don't worry if you were unable to come as we will be sending a leaflet to all families we know about who have a child joining us next academic year. 
   
  
  
  
  

  

• Reception Trip to Stonehurst Farm

  Tue 13 May 2014
  A fantastic day of learning and fun was had by all at Stonehurst Farm. We visited lots of animals and learnt all about what they produce. We even got to stroke the animals! Please ask any of the reception children and they will be delighted to tell you all about what they have learnt. We had a ride on a tractor to a field full of wheat and barley. We learnt lots about what the crops need to grow, how they are cut down and what they are used for.
  All of the grown-ups were very proud of the children's behaviour. Well done!
