A huge thank you to Conor from Techiquest & STEM learning for our Polar Explorer Experience. As you know, Westwood were only 1 of 10 schools chosen to take part in the programme, out of the hundreds schools who applied to be part of it! The children had wonderful time being engineers for the day. You really brought STEM to life!

We will be completing our programme in our classes. On completion of the programme, the children will be awarded a certificate for their magnificent efforts from our Eco Reps.

Look out for more STEM opportunities coming our way in the Spring term!

Well done to all of the Key stage 2 pupils who took part in their First Aid training on Friday 2nd and Friday 9th February respectively, with Mr Stephen Moore of the St John's Ambulance Wales.

The children have been awarded a certificate for the training, which they wil receive on their return to school.

Well done Juniors and a huge thank you to Stephen for providing such a fantastic and life saving opportunity for our children.

Year 5 and 6 creative exploits with light , by Mrs Brown

Date: 7th Jan 2017 @ 1:36pm

Fun at our fingertips with light

What can you do with light? Year 5 and 6 pupils had lots of fun exploring, with great creativity, the potential of light. They discovered light can make a pair of glasses grow bigger, it can make shadows grow longer, it can be used to create an aviary of birds, show dinosaurs fighting (even though they are extinct!) and make the shadow of a child look monster sized. View our photographs and videos before you see what you can do with light. Remember, we would love to see your ideas too, so if you discover what you can do with light please let us know.

Roald Dahl day!, by Miss Bennett

Date: 14th Sep 2016 @ 8:25pm

To celebrate the 100th birthday of Roald Dahl Class 5 made an outstanding effort to come to school dressed as their favourite characters from his books. As a class we looked in detail at the James and the Giant Peach and the children created some wonderful artwork based on the book. The children enjoyed researching the life of Roald Dahl and listening to his stories. They also made some delicious cakes that they then went on to sell in our school reading cafe in the afternoon. Thank you to all who came and made the cafe such a success :)
