Heatwave
Published 17/07/22Read MoreHeat 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.
Viking Day

The children also enjoyed an immersive Viking story using the press play headsets, played Capture the flag games on the field to simulate an invasion and took part in a Fire pit experience with toasted marshmallows, yum!
Eggcitement in Reception
Published 17/05/22Read MoreAs 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.

Children’s Mental Health Week
Published 08/03/22Read MoreWe all had a great week celebrating, learning about, raising the profile of and reducing the stigma of mental health. We know it’s okay not to be okay and to ask for help. We also know that there are many things we can do to help ourselves and we learnt lots during this week.
The children took part in many varied activities, for example, breathing techniques, making and using stress socks, creating jars of happiness, learning song and dance routines with positive messages (for example the power of yet, brave face etc), mindfulness colouring, making well-being dice, sewing and much more!

Through careful analysis of the school-wide survey responses, and detailed discussion, the School Council pupils produced ‘The Westfield Way’.
