• Commando Joe club

  Wed 15 Nov 2023 Mrs Dalkin

  Our Year 6 children are having a fabulous time at our Commando Joe club! Mrs Dalkin wandered past the club and couldn’t see any children! She panicked for a moment and then realised they were all hiding. They certainly had fun.

• Year 2’s trip to Safety Works

  Thu 09 Nov 2023 Mrs Holisz

  What an amazing time we had at Safety Works!  We loved getting to try on all of the different uniforms too.

   

  We learned all about:

  • Fire safety in the home
  • How the fire brigade has changed over the years
  • Dog safety 
  • Water Safety 
  • The role of the Police 

  

• 'The Big Sing'

  Wed 08 Nov 2023 Mrs Thompson

   

  An amazing morning at St James' Park for 'The Big Sing!' The children were a shining example of brilliant behaviour, with all the Westerhope staff being extremely proud.

   

  The children warmed up their voices, practised songs and actions, and took part in the recording on the terraces of a digital Christmas card 'Best Day Of My Life.'

   

  Just when we thought it was a great day... it got even better. Fresh from Dortmund, Callum Wilson joined us all for the singing, actions and recording. What a great asset to NUFC - Callum chatted to and high-fived all 500 children and was happy to have photos taken with every school and autograph a school polo shirt.

   

  One member of our school had a VERY memorable day!
