• Visit from Recorder Group

  Fri 10 Jul 2015

  What a lovely afternoon all the pupils had today.

   

  We had a visit from a Recorder Group, lead by Julie, who played for us and also introduced us all to lots of different recorders.

   

  The first recorder we saw was called a descant recorder and is the same as the recorders the Year 2 pupils play when they join recorder club.  They then showed us the smaller sopranino recorder and the TINY garklein recorder!  They were very high!

   

  Then Julie showed us some bigger recorders, the tenor and treble and bass and told us that the longer the recorder the lower the note - then Julie showed us some very special instruments:

   

  The great bass - this recorder is very big and very quiet - everyone had to listen very carefully.

   

  The contra bass - this was a MASSIVE recorder and a very special treat!  There are not many contra bass recorders and even Mrs MacLauchlan had not seen one before.  When it was played it was very quiet and very low!

   

  We finished with some volunteer recorder players from Year 2 playing our favourite song BB Blues, the recorder group were so impressed they joined in!

   

  Thank you to the group for coming to play for us and for showing us all your instruments.  It was a great end to the academic year.

  The year 2 leavers assembly was really successful. Awards were presented for school council and eco warriors. A record number of pupils received their one hundred percent attendance award, well done. Congratulations to Freya for completing the whole of her school time at the infant school without a day off!

• Food for Life Bronze Award Assembly

  Mon 06 Jul 2015
  Today we held an assembly all about food! We celebrated that Westfield Infant School has achieved their Bronze Food For Life Award. In order to achieve this the whole school has been working hard all year doing extra growing, cooking and learning about a healthy diet. The School Nutrition Action Group (SNAG) have met every half term to discuss ways to help all the children enjoy their school lunch. This has been a very successful year as children's knowledge and enjoyment of healthy eating has grown hugely. We will continue to build on this next year and work towards our Silver Food For Life Award!

• Music for a Summer Evening

  Mon 06 Jul 2015

  On Saturday the choir performed songs from the Wizard of Oz at the United Reform Church.  As a finale the children sang in a round with the adult choir...which was very tricky but it sounded amazing! Then we had strawberries and cream to end a perfect evening. Parents/Carers had another opportunity to see the photographs of the trip to Mablethorpe and heard about the Centre from Shaun who is a member of the committee.

   A big thank you to everyone who came. The bucket collection raised £100 that will be sent to Helen at Mablethorpe so she can buy craft items for rainy days.
