• Pupil Committee Litter Picking

  Wed 17 Apr 2024 Miss Forster

  The sunshine came out so the pupil committee grabbed their litter pickers and got busy clearing our school grounds.

  We found a surprising amount of litter outside and spent some time clearing the year 1 outdoor area. We are currently planning how this year 1 area could be better utilised. Watch this space!

• Year 3 & 4 Football Tournament

  Thu 14 Mar 2024 Mrs Thompson

  Our newly formed (this week!) Year 3 & 4 Football Team went to an 'Outer West' tournament at Walbottle Academy on Thursday afternoon.

   

  They had the brilliant to opportunity to play against three other teams, drawing one match, and losing two matches to some very tough opponents. The children were excellent representatives for our school - the epitome of excellent team spirit with a hardworking ethic.

   

  The afternoon had it all... super diving saves, brilliant defending, superb fitness on display.

   

  Without doubt, Mrs Thompson's 'man of the tournament' went to JM for some absolutely inspired defending.

   

  Mrs T was so impressed by the team's conduct on the way to Walbottle on the public bus - the driver commented how polite all the children were in thanking him. Their excellent conduct continued throughout the matches, observing the referees requests to the letter, and congratulating the other teams afterwards.

   

  What a great start to your Westerhope footballing journey!
