Year 5 visited Studio West to do a DT project and got to test out their cookery skills making a Mediterranean tartlet and taste testing some fruits. 

Today was the day we decorated or Christmas tree in the school hall.  All of the classes from Reception to Year 6 were there.  Each class had handmade a beautiful decoration, some of which were designed and made during our Design and Technology day.  Now, our tree looks 'Westerhope Wonderful!' and marks the start of our Christmas celebrations in school.

The England Rocks competition is now closed. How did Westerhope do? One word… Brilliant! All the Key stage 2 classes did a fabulous job and as a school we came in the top 2% of the country! The children were allowed one hour a day between 7:30am and 7:30pm, then average scores were calculated. Class 13 were the 61st class out of a whopping 28,464 classes! Putting us in the top 0.5%, closely followed by Class 12 and Class 14. Well done everyone! 

Key stage 2 children are taking part in a nationwide times table rockstars competition. The competition started at 7:30am yesterday and finishes at 7:30pm Thursday. At this moment in time we are doing so well. Class 12 are currently 55th place out of 25,263 classes! How amazing is that! Keep it up class 12. As a school we are 49th out of 4322. Keep going everyone!

What a fabulous day filled to the brim with kindness! World Kindness Day is a very special day for us at Westerhope. It's a day we spread even more kindness within our school and community (if that's even possible!) while also learning about the impact being kind will have on our own physical and mental health. Here is a sprinkle of the magical, kind day...

Our expedition to Studio West was so successful! Taco should now be called Taco Friday! Delicious!
