Multi-Sport parent/carer event

Fri 24 Nov 2017

It is always great to see parents/carers turn up to join in with the Multi-Sports fun! The children have been building on previous skills learnt such as: Hand eye co-ordination; balance; speed and agility. The children have been able to use these skills during fun and active games. They have even had the chance to create their own games.

It was a fantastic chance for the children to be able to showcase all that they have learnt during the past few weeks and play fun and competitive games including an assault course race with their adults.

Please take a look at the photos below.

Bible Presentation Assembly

Thu 23 Nov 2017

This morning the children in the Reception classes and any children new to the school since our last Bible Presentation received a Bible with their name in.

It was a special assembly because Malcolm came and presented a Bible to each child. The Bibles will be kept in the classrooms and the children can look at the pictures and read the stories. As the children move through the school their Bible will go with them and at the end of Year 2 they can take their Bible home.

We are very grateful to The Bible for Schools scheme that supports us in providing each child with a Bible. As you can see from the photographs the children were very pleased and they were very good at remembering their manners and saying Thank You!

Children in Need Assembly

Fri 17 Nov 2017

This morning the children had a treat because they were able to bring a Teddy or special furry friend to school and they all came to assembly. We asked in return for this treat that the children gave a donation to our Children in Need collection.

Well done to those children who did jobs at home to earn pocket money for the collection. Also well done to those children who decorated the Pudsey envelope so beautifully.

Each class collected the envelopes and donations in the Children in Need bucket and these were taken by the School Council to Mrs Babic in the office who then had the task of counting the money. So far we have raised £302.00 so that is another great Westfield effort because we also raised money by selling the Pudsey Bear ears.

During assembly we watched a film about some of the great ways that the Children in Need funds can help children in this country. We sang some fun action songs with our furry friends and as you can see from the photographs our visitors remembered to follow the Golden Rules!

At lunchtime there was a special treat because everyone had the chance to have a Pudsey biscuit for pudding!!

Today we had the WISA Children in Need Disco after school. All the children had the opportunity to stay after school and they could change into their own clothes. We had a great selection of Pudsey themed outfits as well as other exciting characters!

As you can see from the photographs everyone had a great time dancing and playing games.

A big thank you to the WISA members who prepared the drinks and snack and also tidied away. A huge thank you to BJ the DJ who worked very hard to make sure everyone had a GREAT time!

The amount raised will be shared at the next WISA meeting on Wednesday 22 November.

Do you know the Golden Rules? If you didn't you will now you've watched Class 4's Assembly! Being kind and helpful, being gentle, working hard, being honest and looking after property - all of the Golden Rules were explained by Class 4 in lovely clear, loud voices.

We also heard all about Little Rabbit Foo Foo - oh dear! I hope we don't see anymore goonies around school today!

Lost and Found : Little Blue Monster Theatre Company

Tue 14 Nov 2017

Year 1 and 2 had the exciting opportunity to watch the 'Little Blue Monster' Theatre company production of 'Lost and Found' this morning. It was a fantastic performance which engaged and entertained the whole audience, children and adults.

In the story a boy found a penguin at his door. The boy did not know where it had come from but it began following him. The penguin looked sad so the boy tried to help him. Can you remember where he took the penguin?

What happened at the zoo? Can you remember who they tried to feed to the lions?

Then the boy went to the library to find out more information about penguins Can you remember what they eat?

The boy decided to take him home to the South Pole. How did they get there? What was the weather like?

On the way the boy told the penguin many stories, using his wonderful imagination. At the South Pole, they said their goodbyes, but as the boy rowed away the penguin looked sadder than ever. The boy realised the penguin wasn't lost he was just lonely. Finally they found each other again and went home together enjoying lots of stories along the way. How was the penguin feeling at the end of the story?

Year 2 children had the opportunity to ask questions after the show about the performance, characters, puppets and the 'Little Blue Theatre' Company actors.

Friendship Afternoon

Mon 13 Nov 2017

This week in England is Anti-Bullying week. The theme this year is ‘All Different, All equal’.

As part of this we had a Friendship Afternoon in school today. The children were randomly mixed up across the year groups and went to different classes. The aim was to make new friends, to talk about how to be a good friend and to discuss how to stop bullying.

The children started by watching a a short video about how we are all different but we are all equal. The children spent time playing and working together on a number of different activities such as friendship bracelet making, role play, construction and co-operation games to name but a few!

The children that visited the Reception classrooms had a circle time and played a variety of games before completing an activity where they made 'Misfit' books.

In the Year 1 classes the children enjoyed hearing the Elmer story and then acting it out together before decorating their own 'Patchwork Elmer' with names of new friends they have made.

Year 2 classes after a fun circle time, children worked with a new friend to decorate a pair of paper chain of dolls.

All the activities enabled the pupils to work with children that they wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to work with. The children had lots of fun together and hopefully will feel more confident and secure in school having made more friends in different classes and year groups.
