This week, it was Mrs Crook's turn to choose our Book of the Week.

Gina Kaminski Saves the Wolf is a modern twist on the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The story follows Gina, a clever and imaginative girl who sees the world differently and loves solving problems her own way. When she hears the story of Red Riding Hood, Gina decides the wolf doesn’t deserve to be punished — he just needs someone to understand him. Using her creativity and sense of fairness, Gina “saves” the wolf by rewriting the ending, showing that everyone deserves a second chance.

We have had another amazing week at afterschool club.

On Tuesday we created some beautiful collage outfits using lots of different textured materials by gluing and sticking.

For snack we made some delicious 'Eton mess' desserts that the children thoroughly enjoyed making and eating for snack.

We finished our session with a super fun game of sock dodgeball!

Wednesday, we set the children a challenge of following instructions to solve puzzles and codebreakers to find our supplies for snack. The children showed a-lot of excellent problem solving and maths skills and were very pleased when they accomplished what they needed to.

The children also spent time creating fantastic structures using magnetic cubes and Lego.

Thursday we went out into the forest and did a dinosaur escape room challenge, following clues around the forest to crack the tricky code!

We then came back inside and ate snack and then all worked together building dens!

On film Friday we watched 'Trolls'. The children also enjoyed making paper cubes and McDonald's boxes. They then turned our hall into a McDonald's Drive thru and all played together with some being customers and some being staff!

It has been another fantastic week in Sycamore Class!

In our wider curriculum lessons, pupils have continued to explore their new science units. There has been a strong focus on practical experimentation across all year groups, with pupils showing great enthusiasm and working hard to integrate successfully into their mainstream classes.

A special mention goes to our Year 3 and 4 pupils, who enjoyed an excellent swimming lesson this week. Supporting adults were full of praise for the exemplary behaviour, effort, and positive attitudes shown by Sycamore Class throughout the session.

Towards the end of the week, pupils began their new art projects for the half term. Our whole-school theme, ‘The Beautiful Differences Garden’, provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate diversity and inclusion, and links perfectly with the core values we promote at Westfield.

Busy week in Oak class!

We have been continuing with our science work, completing experiments involving melting and burning materials to check reversible and irreversible changes.

We also had a great time out in the forest on Friday completing our HPAN work creating art in the style of Andy Goldsworthy using natural resources in the forest.

Finally, we have been writing diary entries based on our main characters entering the village-we will be continuing to write more on this the following week!

We have had another busy week in Larch class!

In English, we have been continuing our work on the book Escape from Pompeii. We have been describing the peaceful city and making predictions about what might go wrong. We have been discussing the main character, Tranio, and the many things he does throughout the day, ready to write a diary entry next week.

In Maths, we have continued our work on perimeter. We have been learning different methods for working out the perimeter and discussed the most efficient.

In PE this week, we have been doing gymnastics and swimming. In gymnastics, we were looking at points and patches and practiced resting on different parts of our body in synchronisation with our partners. We had our second swimming lesson this week and the children were all trying really hard in their groups.

We have also had our art days this week. We have been looking at the work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser and creating our own flowers in his style.

Another amazing week in Cedar Class with our first Forest Schools session of 2026! We looked for clues of dragons and matched them to words and symbols linked to our book.

Now we have started 'The Dragon Machine', we have been learning about all the naughty things that the dragons do! We have also been reading other books about dragons - our favourite this week has been 'The Big Bad Dragon Club' which our Year 2s have really enjoyed.

In Science, we have continued to learn about different materials - printing with wood and plastic to see if we can spot the difference! Next week, we will learn about waterproof and absorbent.

In Maths we are learning about heavier and lighter as well as heavy and light. We will also be rehearsing different ways to make numbers to 10.

Cherry Class have been working so hard all week! They have enjoyed reading lots of different stories about dragons such as; The Dragon Machine, Dragon Post, The Dragonsitter, There's a Dragon in My Book and There's a Dragon on My Doorstep.

We have been doing science this week and learning all about everyday materials. We discussed object names, materials that they were made from and the properties of those materials. We really enjoyed doing some hands on investigations with ‘Is it absorbent?’ And ‘Is it waterproof?’ Investigations 🧪 👩‍🔬 👨‍🔬

We also started our art unit this week looking at Georgia O’Keefee and her wonderful watercolour paintings of flowers. We hope to create our own next week ready for the HPAN exhibition at the shopping city 👩‍🎨 👨‍🎨 🖼

Another great week in Willow Class and it was a full week that we were in the library as our classroom! The children have shown such resilience and independence with all of the changes, and we are so incredibly proud of them.

We have been developing our Number sense in our Maths Mastery and using our "fast eyes" with our Subitising skills.

We have been busy with our HPAN Art project "The Beautiful Differences Garden " We focused on the Artist, Henri Matisse. We looked at using bold colours and simple shapes while focusing on cutting, arranging and exploring colour.

The children worked so hard throughout all of the stages of the process and are so proud of their finished Art Work. We are looking forward to seeing them all on display.

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?

The school receives extra funding (Pupil Premium) to support your child’s education – money that makes a real difference!

Your child may miss out on supermarket meal vouchers if you’re not registered. This will help with the cost of meals during half term holidays.

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. 💜
