It's that time of year again - it's time for our Summer Fayre! The weather was a little drizzly but that never dampened the fun as Westfield families past and present came to support us!
The playground was packed with plenty of stalls, showcasing exciting books, leafy plants, delicious cakes, beautiful jewellery, decorative tattoos and pocket-money toys! Fun challenges including Hook-a-duck and raffle lucky-dips for the infamous Bottle stall and Tombolo often saw queues!
Inside the main hall, a constant stream of children enjoyed a Summer Fayre favourite - the Bouncy Castle, while many took the opportunity for a well-earned rest, taking advantage of the refreshments served.
A huge 'THANK YOU' for your donations and support. We really appreciate you coming. Thank you to WISA for organising this fabulous event.
Today gave all children in Year 1 the opportunity to use the skills we have been learning in our PE sessions this term to compete!
6 teams took part in 6 team events:
Tug of War
Cone Throw
Dodgeball Throw
Resilience Relay
Egg and Spoon
Bag Bounce
A huge 'WELL DONE' to all children for working so well as a team, encouraging one another and recognising the achievements of everyone!
'THANK YOU' to those in our Westfield family who came along to support and cheer on the children. The atmosphere was fantastic!
Huge thanks to Ben for teaching us this year, we have loved PE each Friday afternoon!
Today's the day! Ben welcomed everyone and reminded us about the activities we've practised over the past three weeks, putting our PE skills to the test!
The Foxes and the Rabbits from Class 1, the Badgers and the Moles from Class 2 and the Squirrels and the Hedgehogs from Class 3 had the best time ever participating in six events -
Tug of War
Cone Throw
Dodgeball Throw
Resilience Relay
Egg and Spoon and...
Sack Race.
Thank you so much for supporting us and cheering us along in our teams, if you were able to. The atmosphere was fantastic!
Super resilience, perseverance and cooperation - you did all of us proud!
The scores on the doors were very, very close! Congratulations to the Hedgehogs who were the winning team today and lifted the trophy!
Huge thanks to Ben for teaching us this year, we have loved PE each Friday morning!
What a fun day today has been!
Everyone looked amazing in their costumes ready for a fun packed piratey day.
Treasure Hunt
We had to follow a set of clues to find the treasure... can you remember what we found using the clues and what was in the treasure chest?
Flag Making
We learnt about the different meanings on pirate flags and made our own. Do you remember what the pictures on your flag represent?
Matching Game
The pirates gave us pictures of pirate related things and we had to match them in pairs. It was a great memory game and good to work as a team.
Role Play
After recapping the different jobs on a pirate ship we turned Class 8 into a pirate ship and set to work onboard the Jolly Westfield!! It was great to get into character and 'scrub the deck' or 'hoist the sail'. What was your role onboard the ship?
Maths in a Bottle
11 bottles were hidden around the thinking garden. Each one had a different maths number sentence in it and we had to work out the answers. When we had completed it we were given a 'pirate code'. The code lent us to a message. Can you tell your adults the message?
Buried Treasure
On the laptops we played a game of phonics buried treasure. Here we had to sort the real words from the nonsense ones. This is a great game you can play on your laptops or tablets at home.
We are all really proud of the behaviour of all children especially on this scorching hot day.
