This half term all classes will be having lots more fun learning outdoors. Year 5 and Year 6 pupils started the ball rolling with den building this week as they unleashed the magic of the forest and learnt about square lashing, forked branches and den designs.

ECO News, by Mrs Brown

National Outdoor Learning Week and Current Affairs

Children in Bubble E are taking a keen interest in the health of our planet. First News Newspapers are a brilliant resource for children to find out about current affairs and to understand the threats to our planet, along with all things that live on it.

This week Bubble E enjoyed First News Friday, where all children in Bubble E scanned First News Newspapers for stories relating to Eco news and  threats to the environment, habitats and living things. Check out the pictures to see the fantastic display the children in Bubble E are creating to highlight the threats to our Eco system ( a suggestion from our Eco Committee members in Bubble E).  The children's display (photo below)  is work in progress - watch this space for the finished piece.

Hello Everyone,

It was fantastic to see so many families having a fantastic time throughout VE Day and wonderful to see so many answering our call to support the British Legion by taking part in Westwood C.P.s remote celebrations.

Here is a small selection of some of the pictures received on our school Twitter and Instagram account, in true Westwood style we can see what a fantastic time everyone was having. We even got a mention in the leader too! https://twitter.com/leaderlive/status/1259498433787777025

Please remember to ask your children to upload their photographs to their personal online journals using SeeSaw.

Your child's personal journal is their own learning journey and in time all that they put on it will be there for them to look back on and enjoy.

Thank you
