• Our first Friday celebration assembly of the year

  Fri 15 Sep 2023

  What a fantastic start to the year! We know Westerhope children are talented and kind but this assembly demonstrated this once again.

   

  Today we had:

  - children (and staff) who took part in the Great North Run and raised money for charity

  - dancing superstars

  - a super little girl who made her own hama bead products and sold them to raise money for the school charity 

  - super readers who completed the city library reading challenge

  - a talented writer who wrote our new Friday school prayer - 🤩 

   

  Well done everyone! This is the best part of the week and I can only imagine what you will share with school in the coming weeks.

• Attendance Reward Fun!

  Wed 06 Sep 2023

  We have had a fantastic day in the glorious sun, playing on the bouncy castle and giant slide. All children who achieved 96% or above last year for their attendance were able to play in the morning and during lunchtime - the slide was very popular. In the afternoon all children in school had the opportunity to play on the inflatables and fun was certainly had by all. We even saw the adults sneak on! We plan to have a similar reward at the end of this academic year and hopefully even more children will reach the 96% target.
