The staff of Westfield Primary School, along with staff from other local services, such as the library, Your Sanctuary, the Family Centre and the school nurses, will have tables and stalls for you to visit as you wish to provide you with ideas for activities, games, creations and services aimed to promote wellbeing for your children.  With half term coming up, this will the ideal opportunity to top up on your ideas.

Westfield Primary School joins people around the world in mourning the loss of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Over the coming days and weeks, our school community will pay tribute to her 70 years of dedicated service. The school will be closed on Monda

Heat Warning up date

 

We have already signposted you to our Sun Safety Policy found on our website, however some parents have expressed a wish to keep their child(ren) at home as they are concerned about the heat warning, even though the school is open as normal.  Should you decide to do this, we understand and will support this from an attendance perspective.  However please do report their absence on Study Bugs as usual. The link to Study Bugs is on the front page of the website.

 

For those who are sending children in as normal, just a reminder that as the beginning of the week looks set to be very hot, the children may wear ​their own clothes or school summer uniform or PE kit to school on Monday and Tuesday. The best clothing to wear is loose, light-coloured clothing, shoulders should be covered. Please also make sure your child wears a named hat to school (the best is one with a wide brim), that you send in a bottle of water with your child and sun cream is put on your children before they come to school. If they need to re-apply in the school day, please send it in with it named and ensure they are able to reapply it on their own. 

 

As always if the situation changes or we have to take any further action, we will contact you.

As part of our farm topic we were lucky enough to have some eggs delivered to school for us to learn about the life cycle of a chicken.

 

When the eggs first   arrived we kept them warm in an incubator. After only a few days the first chicks began to hatch . It was amazing to watch.

 

Once the chicks had become fluffy and a bit stronger, the children in each class were able to have a go at holding them. We loved feeling their soft feathers. The children loved watching the chicks learn to move and flap their wings.
