Free School Meals – Don’t Miss Out! 🍴

Did you know ALL children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under the Universal Infant scheme?

✅ But if you receive qualifying benefits, it’s still really important that you register. Why?

Your child may miss out on supermarket meal vouchers if you’re not registered.

The school receives extra funding (Pupil Premium) to support your child’s education – money that makes a real difference!
For children in Years 3 and above, free school meals are not automatic. They are only available if you receive certain benefits (see link below for details).

💻 Please take a few minutes to apply online – even if your child already gets a free meal in infants. It helps both your family and our school community.

👉 Apply here: https://www3.halton.gov.uk/Pages/EducationandFamilies/Schools/FreeSchoolMeals.aspx

Thank you for helping us support your child’s education. 💜

Another brilliant week in Willow Class and I am so proud of how the children are settling in to school life here at Westfield.

This week in Willow Class we have been talking about personal hygiene and keeping ourselves safe.

We read the story "Dirty Bertie," a story about a little boy who has some really horrible habits! The children enjoyed seeing the funny things that Bertie got up to in the story and joined in with the repeated refrain throughout the story.

Then we talked about the importance of washing our hands and have been singing the "Wash Your Hands" song. Songs are such an effective way for the children to learn and make everything more fun!

We have been developing our physical skills this week, using the bikes and scooters. The children have enjoyed spending time and getting to know our friends in Cherry Class.

We have had a wonderful week in Cherry Class! This half term is just flying by. All of the children are working hard and have developed a great togetherness in just a few weeks 😃 We completed our RE unit learning how and where Christians pray and why they might want to talk to God. We then thought about our relationships with our family and how we communicate with them 🗣

Our mastering number unit this week had us discussing the number 8, how it is made and broken up and we represented it in 8 grids, part part whole models and in mathematical equations.

We started our computing unit on grouping data. We looked at how we can sort information/images into different groups and gave them titles. We will continue this next week 👩‍💻 👨‍💻

We’ve been enjoying the outdoor provision at afternoon break times this wee. It has been great to see the children welcoming and working with some of our new EYFS children 🚴 🛴

This week, we have been working on place value in Maths with our Year 2s using number lines, tens and ones and counting dinosaurs! We've all been practising counting forwards and backwards from 0 to 20 using different rhymes and songs.

We have finished reading our story 'Meesha makes Friends' and some of us have been building sentences to help retell the story.

As the term has moved on, our newer pupils have been doing amazingly well at adapting to new routines - using our communication boards, sitting for snack and short carpet inputs and starting to try to make new friends themselves!

As part of World Mental Health Day Gabby and Archie from Larch Class attended a Halton Mental Heath Wellbeing event at Upton Community Centre this week.

Halton MHST would like to thank everyone who made the Wellbeing Event such a success. They are truly grateful for the staff and young people who contributed their time, ideas and enthusiasm!

One of the themes for WMHD this is year is Mental Health in the Workplace.  The collaborative art piece asked your young people for ideas around supporting the mental health and wellbeing of  their trusted adults.

We have been really enjoying our PE lessons this week in Larch class. On Monday, we did gymnastics where the children put different rolls into routines with the added challenge of safely rolling over each other. On Wednesday, we did badminton where we practised scoring points by doing different types of shots.

In the afternoons this week, we have been doing computing. We have been looking at branching databases and the children have been sorting animals, people and even dinosaurs both on paper and on the iPads.

We have been practising greetings in our Spanish lessons this week. We have learnt how to say 'hello', 'goodbye' and 'my name is...'. We all really enjoyed walking around the classroom introducing ourselves in Spanish.

This week Oak have been writing a thank you letter as a child in our story, Star of fear, Star of hope, and then moving onto writing our own hopes and wishes for the future!

Our afternoon sessions have been learning about 'The Blues' and playing chords on our glockenspiels-it has been great fun!

Finally, we have started some assessments this week and the children have been working really hard despite it being really early on in the year!

It's been another fabulous week in Sycamore Class.

This week, we have really enjoyed taking part in computing lessons to learn all about branching databases. Our pupils are now experts on asking and answering 'yes/no' style questions!

We have also started to write our final pieces for our English unit of work based on the book, Meesha Makes Friends. I have been really impressed with the children's use of conjunctions and expanded noun phrases. Well done everyone.

In maths, we have been completing some assessments. The children have shown great resilience whilst doing this. Again, an excellent effort from all!

From 1st April 2025 the daily cost of a school meal will be £3.43.

For the safety of all pupils, parents and local residents can we remind you not to park on the pavements when dropping off or collecting from school. If you park on the pavement children and parents have to walk in the road, this is putting them in unnecessary danger.

Where possible walk to school or if you need to drive park away from school on Penn Lane. Do not park on pavements, double park or block residents driveways.
