Well done to New Zealand class who achieved 96.5% attendance for Term 3 - a big hoorah for NZ class and Mr Trodd!

During Term 3, Year 5 have enjoyed working on a DT project where they have all made a slip-in mobile phone cover from felt.  Following the different stages of the design process such as research, investigating materials, designing and making, the children were pleased to be joined by adults and helpers in the old community centre to help with the tricky stitching.

 

Some really great end products were created and the children were rightfully very proud of their work.  A huge thank you to all parents and carers who were able to come in and support on the day.

 

Below are just a few of the finished products.  You can see all the finished cases in our gallery page by clicking here.

At the end of Term 3, the whole school gathered once again in the hall to share in the creative home learning that had taken place, linked with the topics studied in each year group.

Westcourt School presented two brilliant Christmas productions today.  Early Years presented their Nativity (with the support of children from Year 6) to a packed hall of parents in the morning, and in the afternoon the rest of the school performed the Christmas Production of 'Lights, Camel, Action' - the Christmas story with a Strictly twist!

 

Well done to all the children for their fantastic singing and dancing and the staff for their hard work in making the whole thing possible.

 

Next week, we will add some galleries with more pictures - but here are two to get you started!  

The whole school gathered together this afternoon to share in the home learning that has taken place linked to our topics and themes this term.  We saw models of warm bedrooms, Anglo Saxon shields, flag designs for Westcourt School, healthy eating posters, shadow puppets and lovely work about Ancient Greece.  It was obvious that some very hard work had been completed - so thank you to parents and families for your support.

 

A gallery of images has been added to the Children section, under Gallery.

As part of Anti-Bullying Week, the whole school took part in workshops.  The day started with a workshop for parents, and then children from different year groups came together throughout the day to take part in workshops around the theme of being a good friend.

 

The children made some very thoughtful comments and were able to identify positive approaches to avoiding bullying and thinking of the feelings of others.

Our new nursery facilities are filling up very quickly.  If your child is 3 or over and you are looking for a stimulating, safe environment where they can take the first steps on their learning journey then contact us to find out more.  Visits are always welcomed.
