Date: 25th May 2017 @ 10:46pm
Fabulous to see pupils past and present at the Buckley open day supporting Westwood.
Westwood pupils #making us proud.
Well done to the three, lucky, raffle ticket winners. All winners were announced before the day drew to a close. One of our very helpful KS2 pupils did an excellent job picking out the tickets, assisted by Mr Nicholson.
Thank you to the winner of the second prize, from Potters Drive in Buckley, who very kindly donated the chocolates back to school for another fund raising event.
Photos as promised - enjoy!

Money Sense with Natwest in KS2
What a fantastic morning today with Natwest and Moneysense. All children in KS2 worked brilliantly with Natwest Staff; Kyle Sumner-Lewis, Carl Turner and Greg Monks. Children were learning about money, budgeting, saving and spending. Our visitors were extremely impressed with the reasoning and mathematical calculations carried out by the children and commented on the excellent work children had done.
Well done Westwood pupils #making us proud!

Wow - what a fantastic day we had at our first ever Buckley Open Day! Surrounded by the Buckley community, the staff, parents, governors and children proudly promoted our fantastic school, selling their wares and placed Westwood firmly in the heart of the Buckley Community on a sunny, Sunday afternoon!
We were the only Buckley school in attendance at the Open day and it was commented by a number of councillors and residents how fantastic the children were representing our school.
Thank you for supporting our school- we look forward to seeing you at the Westwood Keystage 2 productions and the School Summer Fair and Open Day:)

Summer Booknic, by Mrs Brown
Date: 20th May 2017 @ 4:31pm
Summer Success for Westwood's First Ever Booknic!
There is nothing better than spending time with friends, reading a good book and enjoying a drink with a snack. Put the three together and what do you get - a Booknic! This is exactly what we did at Westwood on Friday afternoon and it was a perfect end to our week.
At 2:30, Westwood's children and staff spilled out onto the school field for our first ever Westwood Booknic. Armed with books, carefully selected from our fabulous school library beforehand, and with a 'drink & snack stand' set up by our staff, almost 200 children sat out in the sunshine on picnic mats to go on a reading adventure.
It was fabulous to see the older children sitting with the younger classes sharing books; some reading to their brothers/sisters too. Check out our pictures to see the fun we had together, choosing books from our library shelves and reading for enjoyment.
We all had a wonderful time and hope to do it again very soon. Maybe next time some of our parents would like to join us too. If you want to join us on our next Booknic adventure... watch this space! In the meantime remember, #it's great lose yourself in a good book.

Daffodils in bloom, by Mrs Brown
Date: 2nd May 2017 @ 12:51am
It has been fabulous to see the children's hard work paying off. Our playground has been a blaze of colour with an array of beautiful daffodils and pansies, planted during the autumn term by our avid gardeners at Westwood. Sadly the daffodils are dying off now, perhaps we will plant some tulips and blue bells too this year so next year we will have more colour to look forward to.
Did you know...the most famous poem in the English language 'Daffodils' was composed in 1804, two years after William Wordsworth saw the flowers while walking by Ullswater on a stormy day with Dorothy, his sister.
Daffodils
I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er Vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of dancing Daffodils;
Along the Lake, beneath the trees,
Ten thousand dancing in the breeze.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee: --
A poet could not but be gay
In such a laughing company:
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the Daffodils.
Chocolate surprises in our raised beds!, by Mrs Brown
Date: 2nd May 2017 @ 12:38am
Some people say the strangest things can happen at school.
Well on Friday that was true.
Mrs Jones' class, along with Class 7 pupils, were out on the field when suddenly one of the Class 7 pupils squealed with delight.
Mrs Jones' class gathered around excitedly, only to find three dozen egg shaped surprises in one of the raised beds. What do you suppose they were?
Perhaps you will have to speak to the children in Mrs Jones' class, as they took them away to investigate!

Next year's skiing trip has already been arranged and the meeting is on 29th March at 5.30 in the main hall.

Nant BH, by Mrs Brown
Date: 15th Mar 2017 @ 11:03pm
Our fantastic three days of high impact, adventure learning with a brilliant group of pupils has been such an adventure. 
The determination and courage dislayed by the children, to overcome fears and obstacles during our stay, has been simply tremendous. Watching the 34 pupils who accompanied us to Nant Bwlch Yr Haearn has made us all so proud. The children have proved, that together, they can achieve many things; the team work, the problem solving and the will to take on every challenge has helped the children to make so many magical moments - it has been a real pleasure to be part of it.
Enjoy the photos and the memories the children will talk about for a long time to come.

Stockport-Class 7 & 8, by Mrs Brown
Date: 12th Jan 2017 @ 7:44am
Our visit to Stockport Air Raid Shelters
A fabulous time was had yesterday with Class 7 and 8 at Stockport Air Raid Shelters.
It was everything we imagined and more. Such a creative way to bring the topic of WW2 alive for children and adults alike. We truly experienced what life was like for evacuees and for people living through war time Britain. We spent some time more than 40 foot underground as the threat of dropping bombs from German planes travelled overhead, and we prepared to be billeted (it was all very real and a number of the children were most disappointed to find they were going home to Wales at 3pm rather than going off to the Market Square to meet their new war time families ).
No doubt the children will remember the experiences for a long time to come.
Enjoy the photos, more to be posted soon.

Year 5 and 6 creative exploits with light , by Mrs Brown
Date: 7th Jan 2017 @ 1:36pm
Fun at our fingertips with light
What can you do with light? Year 5 and 6 pupils had lots of fun exploring, with great creativity, the potential of light. They discovered light can make a pair of glasses grow bigger, it can make shadows grow longer, it can be used to create an aviary of birds, show dinosaurs fighting (even though they are extinct!) and make the shadow of a child look monster sized. View our photographs and videos before you see what you can do with light. Remember, we would love to see your ideas too, so if you discover what you can do with light please let us know.

International Day was great fun and the children learnt so much.
Our photographs will give you a taste of the activities and what the children were learning about.
A huge thank you to TESCO for spending the day at Westwood to teach about Diwali. Michelle Scott from TESCO will be back before Christmas to do exciting activities linked to the festive season with children throughout the school - can't wait, thank you Michelle and TESCO in Mold.
Creative 3D learning log activities, by Mrs Brown
Date: 13th Nov 2016 @ 8:56pm
3D Models and creative activities completed as part of learning log homework.
Wow! The staff and pupils, along with parents who joined us for our International afternoon at Westwood have been amazed at the 3D models created in response to learning log homework.
This follows the brilliant 3D models made by the current Year 6's when they were inspired by Victorian homes and traditions.
Take a look and see what you think! For those of you who have never created 3D homework, perhaps you could have a go too - I'm sure there are lots of hidden artists amongst you. Look for something that inspires you and then get to work...don't forget to bring in what you make and share your efforts.
