• Beating Blue Monday!

  Tue 16 Jan 2024 Miss Forster

  The pupil committee made a 'Blue Monday Mindfulness' board to brighten up January at Westerhope. The board encourages children in school to 'check in' with how they are feeling. 

  Each pupil committee member decorated a cloud which explained their favourite self care activity. The aim was to share ideas and encourage children in school to do the same. We also selected our favourite mindfulness activities from a happiness activity book and made a bank of them for children to take. 

  

• Book Exchange Competition Begins!

  Thu 11 Jan 2024 Mr Evans

  The Eco Club have launched this year's Book Exchange!

  During January, we would love you to search through your cupboards and book shelves and dig out any pre-loved books, DVDs or CDs that you no longer want or have outgrown. These can be suitable for children or adults. 

  We would love it if you would send these items in with your child and hand them to Mr Evans any time before the end of January.. Then, at the start of February, we will give all the classes a chance to browse the selection of suitable items on offer and grab themselves a bargain! Most items will be just 10p! We will also offer a night after school where parents can have a browse as well. 

  The class that brings in the most items will win the first look at the Book Exchange and each on will get 1 free item!

  Any money raised will go to the Eco Club, who want to purchase some plants for the school grounds and classrooms. Any left over items will be donated to charity. 

  So please feel free to use this time to have a good declutter and help us make our school even better!

  Many thanks,

  The Eco Club
