• Festive Coffee Morning

  Mon 16 Dec 2013

  Once a year the teaching staff invite everyone into school who has helped and supported us throughout the year for a Festive Coffee morning.

  We want all the volunteers to know how much we appreciate their support. As you can see there were plenty of Christmas treats for everyone to enjoy!  

  Whilst enjoying a well deserved drink and treat everyone enjoyed looking at the photographs from Mrs MacLauchlan's and Mrs Leeson's adventures in India from our lastest blog on the website! 

  

• Kira and Cole (and Brumas!) meet Santa

  Fri 13 Dec 2013

  Kira and Cole have been very excited about going to India with Mrs MacLauchlan, Mrs Leeson and Mrs Fox and now they are finally on their way! 

  How lucky for them to get to meet Santa at the airport!  What a lovely surprise for them before they start their long plane journey.  It looks like Brumas is enjoying himself too!

  

• Coffee and Cakes!

  Fri 13 Dec 2013
  Yesterday saw our final Christmas play performance of the year and afterwards coffee and cakes were sold in the hall.

  

• Christmas Craft Afternoon

  Fri 13 Dec 2013
  What a fantastic afternoon of craft activities!  The children really enjoyed decorating cakes, making cake boxes, colouring angels, making Santas and wool wreaths to hang on the Christmas tree. 

  

• 3 more sleeps until India!

  Tue 10 Dec 2013
  Hello! It's the dynamic duo - Kira and Cole!
  What a busy week we're having.  We love watching your Christmas plays and think your singing is superb.  We've just about learnt the words so we'll be singing them to Mrs MacLachlan all the way to India!
  
  We're getting very excited about Friday because it will be our first time on an aeroplane.  Mrs Leeson has packed us some colouring to do during the journey and has told us both to have a rest if we're feeling tired! 
  
  The two books for St. Mathias are now complete. The first book is called All About Westfield Infant School which introduces every member of staff and each class.  It is packed with photos showcasing all of the amazing activities that children, staff and parents/carers can be involved in. It gives a snapshot of a typical day at Westfield Infant School and explains what happens during Assemblies, Letters and Sounds and even lunchtime.  It has been written by the Year 1 Lanterns Literacy Group and shows what school is like through the eyes of a child.  At the end of this book Mrs Leeson has included ALL of your wonderful comments that were entered onto the Persona Doll competition form.  Thank you for those - they were ALL different! We are both in this book, but you'll have to look closely to find us!
  
  The second book is called Roles and Responsibilities and clearly explains how our pupils learn to develop their independence throughout their time at Westfield Infant School.  We're both in this book too and loved having a photo with the Eco-Warriors, School Council and Librarians - we certainly learnt a lot about their roles at school and why they have special jobs.  The book also explains the responsibilities that the children have around the school including looking after their own property, following the Golden Rules at School and at Home and turning taps off properly to save water.
  
  We are sure the staff and children at St. Mathias will love looking at them.  We are also taking a set of Golden Rules and our behaviour system showing the happy, thinking and sad face, Carpet Time Rules, two Playground Friends caps and Westfield Bears complete with uniform! Remember you can keep up to date with our adventures in India by 'blogging' (found in the Children tab). A copy of each book will be kept at Westfield in the library. 
  
  Love Kira and Cole xx
  
  
  Here are a few photos that appear in the books:

  As you can see from the photographs the Catering staff had a fantastic selection of cakes for sale today.

• Sports Presentation Assembly

  Tue 03 Dec 2013

  Those pupils who attended the after school Football Club were awarded medals for their fantastic effort and progression over the last 10 weeks. I was lucky enough to be able to watch each action packed session and it was clear to see that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. A huge thankyou to Luke from WBA for delivering such engaging sessions.
  The pupils that attended the Multi Sports Club on Mondays also recieved their well earnt medals...well done to you all.
