This week in after-school club, we have been getting stuck into lots of Christmas crafts, creating beautiful cardboard wreaths, making cards, and festively decorating our hall window with chalk pens.

We have also created an amazing paper Christmas tree on the hall door, which the children have decorated by cutting out pictures of lights and writing their names on them.

For our Tasty Tuesday, we baked delicious mince pies and enjoyed them as part of our snack.

For our Thinking Thursday, we took part in a scavenger hunt around the hall to find hidden Christmas objects.

The children always love a good game of The Floor is Lava, using the large projector and mats as the safe spaces.

Such a fun week we have had!

This week's Book of the Week is brought to you by Mrs Crook!

The Twits by Roald Dahl is a silly, lively story about a very grumpy married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Twit, who spend their days playing mean tricks on each other and treating animals poorly. Their bad behaviour backfires when a group of clever monkeys and birds team up to outsmart them. In the end, the Twits get a taste of their own medicine in a way that’s humorous rather than scary.

It’s a quick, funny read with exaggerated characters and playful illustrations—great for kids who enjoy mischievous humour and for parents who appreciate a story that highlights kindness and consequences

As Christmas draws near, our classroom is buzzing with excitement!

On Monday, we welcomed a very special visitor — the Sycamore Elf! The children put their democracy skills into action and voted for his name. We are delighted to introduce… Frosty!

In English, we have continued our learning around The Great Fire of London. We are now nearing the end of this unit, and next week the children will be publishing their final pieces of writing. We can’t wait to see their hard work come together.

Across the wider curriculum, the children have been exploring data logging in computing. They particularly enjoyed collecting sound data from different areas of the school and comparing their findings.

Finally, we are very excited about our upcoming Carol Service and hope to see many of you there. It promises to be a wonderful celebration!

We have had a busy week in Larch class!

In English, we have been looking at speech punctuation. We have looked at all the punctuation that we need when writing direct speech. We have used this in speech sandwiches about Nen and Ernest from our book Nen and the Lonely Fisherman.

In Maths, we have been looking at word problems related to our topic mass, volume and capacity. We have been looking at different methods and discussing the best method to use.

In taekwondo this week, we have been perfecting our kicks and punches. We were challenging each other by lifting the pads higher each time. We ended the lesson with a game of dodgeball.

Each afternoon, we have been practising for our Christmas performance. We are excited to show it to our friends and family next week.

A brilliant week in Oak class! Our Y6s had a mock SATs week, spending quite a bit of time in the hall having a go at practice SATs papers-I am so proud of them!

In English, we finally met the mysterious old woman who lives in an even more mysterious gingerbread house in our story Hansel and Gretel-what will happen next?

In writing, we have been writing speech, in particular between characters who are discussing the monster Grendel and how Beowulf will defeat it!

Finally, we had the fire service in on Wednesday with their smoke tent to teach some fire safety to the class.

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. 💜

As we slowly draw closer and closer to Christmas, our children and visitors to Cedar class have been working really hard on effective communication, listening, learning, play and interaction skills.

We have our own special Christmas tree where the children can add and move decorations around each day and we've been using our shape knowledge to make Christmas decorations.

We have continued to learn about the seasons and weather, investigating cold and wind - melting ice and exploring which way the wind is blowing with ribbons outside.

We've been getting into the Christmas spirit lisyening to Christmas music and some of our children have been practising singing with Cherry Class.

We can't wait to welcome you in to do some Christmas activities with us on Friday and Tuesday!

It’s December and we are all so excited in Cherry Class for all things Christmas this month 🎄

We have been enjoying our class advent calendars this week, with two children per day getting to open the doors and eating a chocolate treat 📆

In RE we have been learning all about why babies are seen as special, why the birth of Jesus is special to Christians and how Christians and non Christians celebrate Christmas 🎄 🎅

We’ve loved taekwondo this half term and we’re sad to have had our final session this week! We can’t wait for next time Miss Rowles is school again 🥋

In year 2 maths, the children have been adding 3 addends and working hard to find the most efficient strategy to do this 🧮 🧠 💨

What a brilliant week we have had in Willow Class!

We started our week with a very exciting arrival... Buddy, our Class Elf! He arrived on the Elf Express 🚂 and has been causing mischief ever since!

We are enjoying hearing what the children's elves are getting upto at home as well. Please send photos in on Tapestry, we would love to see them!

We have continued our "Let's Celebrate" theme with exploring Birthdays and how birthdays are celebrated. The children have shared photographs of themselves celebrating on one of their own birthdays. They enjoyed talking about their birthday and listening to everyone else. Thank you for your continued support and sharing these photographs with us.

The children are enjoying our Guided Reading sessions, where we share a picture book and use the pictures to tell the story. Please remember to record on Boom Reader when you share a story and read together at home.

The children have been working so hard with writing their name on the name writing template. A copy of the template and a magic writing pen was sent home on Friday, for the children to practise writing at home.

We had a very special moment last Wednesday with every child being in school, YES 100% attendance! We work really hard on improving punctuality and attendance at Westfield and to celebrate all the children got a bag of sweets. Thank you for your continued support as I know on those dark, wet mornings or if your child is saying they are feeling under the weather, getting up and coming to school can be difficult. I will have to get thinking on another reward if we hit 100% again!

Thank you to the children who represented Westfield at the carol concert at St. Michaels church on Saturday. It was a lovely festive celebration and made us feel all Christmassy!
