Victorian school day in Year 5 and Year 6
Today the children have been submerged into life as a Victorian child. They have experienced the sternest of a Victorian school teacher, learnt the art of decoupage, developed skills in research and the Cornell note taking method, learnt how to sew; in addition, they have examined, investigated and designed Victorian furniture and designed and developed their toy making skills following research activities.
The children have also had the opportunity to dress as Victorians and script and act out a short movie.

A fantastic time was enjoyed by all staff and pupils, during our trip to Chester Zoo, on the last day of term.
The staff at Chester Zoo are hugely committed to conservation and science and it was a great opportunity for the children to see the work that happens there. Throughout this year we will be working more closely with the zoo as we are participating in The Songbird Project, something we are looking forward to engaging with.
Enjoy our Year Six photos from the day, many of which were taken by the children themselves.

Welsh Ambassadors advising Jack Sargeant, by Mrs Brown
Date: 7th Nov 2019 @ 10:06pm
Fantastic to see Westwood pupils acting as ambassadors for Welsh.
Jack Sargeant, Flintshire's Welsh A.M. was delighted when explaining to the children that he was learning Welsh and trying his best to practice as often as possible because he knows how important it is. When Jack told the children it was a difficult language to learn they were delighted to share with him some of the Flintshire resources we use when learning new sentence patterns. No doubt the resources will be well used when Jack is at home practising his Welsh skills.
Da iawn ti Jack a gwaith da!
