Many thanks to all the volunteers from the church who participated in the experience, it was extremely enjoyable and all the children thoroughly enjoyed the telling of the story along with the opportunity to take part through role play and hands on activities.

A huge thank you to all our wonderful parents, staff, carers, governors, pupils and friends of Westwood for their amazing support for our annual Macmillan charity event. There were cakes and smiles galore...even the weather couldn't dampen our spirits as you braved the elements to be part of the afternoon. The children in Year 5 & 6 ran the afternoon brilliantly as the event was part of their pupil voice RE work, with the other classes throughout the school holding their cakes sales during the day.

Year 5 and 6 visit to The Hawkesbury War Memorial
It was a pleasure to take our Year 5 and 6 children to visit the memorial today. Many questions the children had asked beforehand were answered as they explored the memorial garden and researched historical facts at the war memorial.
As always the children showed the utmost respect for the fallen soldiers of Buckley and the gardens were brought alive with their singing of Abide With Me, accompanied by the flute which was played by Mrs Farrah.
After completing research tasks and saying prayers for The Fallen, the children arrived safely back at school just in time for dinner.
