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. 💜

What another lovely week in Willow Class. So proud of the children who took part in the Harvest Assembly in the Hall and so proud of all of the children for joining in with our song 'Dingle Dangle Scarecrow' in class.

We have continued our Colour Monster theme this week. The children are showing such a good understanding of their own feelings and emotions.

The children have enjoyed creating Monster Patterns including zig-zags, wavy and curvy lines. These mark making patterns help us to develop our early writing skills. These are displayed proudly on our 'Lockers' in Willow Class.

This week has been all about pumpkins 🎃 We have read the story, and been enjoying singing the song, '5 Little Pumpkins.' We have explored real munchkin pumpkins with our senses and talked about how they feel and smell. We have been counting the pumpkins and making the pumpkins in the play dough.

I would like to say a huge "Well Done" to all of Willow Class as we come to the end of our first half term together. I am so incredibly proud of how well the children have settled into life at Westfield. It has been lovely getting to know the children and families. Have a lovely half term and please upload any half term adventures to Tapestry. We would love to see them!

What a wonderful week we have had to finish our first half term. We had a junk modelling afternoon where we channelled the skills of Meesha from our class text. Some of us created our own 'friends' and others created something of our own choosing. We have been doing music this week and have enjoyed finding the pulse in music, moving our body, creating rhythms and we also had a turn with the glockenspiels 🎵 🎶

On Thursday afternoon, we had a great time in the forest with our friends where we searched for autumn colours in nature 🌳 🍃 🍁 Most of our class took part in the Junior Road Safety Officers 'design a pumpkin' competition too 🎃

I continue to be blown away by the enthusiasm the children have towards their learning. So much so that they asked me for homework this half term ⭐️ I have sent home some activities for the children to compete. This is completely optional! Have a wonderful half term break 😊

In this last week of half term, it's incredible to look back and see the amazing progress that each child in our class has made. For some that might be in phonics or in maths; for others it might be in following instructions, sitting at a table, sitting on the carpet or communicating their wants and needs. For every pupil, we are super proud of their progress.

It has also been great to get to know our new families and we hope that you enjoyed our Forest Schools activities today. We've had a week of finishing off work, grouping data, assessing progress and learning to play with our friends this week, as well as learning to count backwards and doing some autumnal sensory play!

We hope you all have a lovely half term and we'll see you on Monday 3rd November!

We have had a busy week in Larch class!

We had our Harvest assemblies on Wednesday and we enjoyed showing our Harvest artwork, singing and reading a poem for our friends and families.

In English, we have been completing our final write tasks. We have been writing our own stories about an animal toy that comes to life based on our book Gorilla by Anthony Browne.

In Maths, we have started our topic of length.  We have been measuring things around the classroom in metres, centimetres and millimetres, choosing the best ruler based on our estimations.

In PE, we have been finalising our routines using rolls by ensuring that there were lots of different rolls and mirroring our partner. We also had rolls in unison and in canon.

In Spanish, we have been learning a rhyme using the vocabulary that we have learnt this half term. We made finger puppets and acted out the rhyme.

This week has been full of harvest! The class performed brilliantly in our harvest services this week, some great singing and some fantastic reading of prayers and poems-well done everyone.

We have been creating some poetry based around the moon-our vocabulary has been spectacular in giving the moon it's own personality.

We have been finishing off our history this week looking at the differences between censuses from the early 1900s.

Enjoy your half term off!

We’ve had a wonderful end to the half term in Sycamore Class! The children have worked incredibly hard in preparation for our Harvest Assembly, and I’m sure you’ll all agree that they did a fantastic job performing our class poem in front of families and friends on Wednesday. They also produced some beautiful artwork inspired by our lessons about Harvest, which we proudly showcased during the celebration.

In English this week, we’ve been exploring poems about autumn. The children have been learning how to use verbs and prepositions effectively as they begin crafting their own winter poems. We completed our first drafts today and look forward to publishing them after the half term break — watch this space!

The Sycamore Class team would like to wish everyone a restful and enjoyable half term holiday.

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.
