• Year 5’s Programming session with RGS

  Wed 25 Jan 2023

  Today, Year 5 took part in a programming session with Mrs Lynn who is a computing and technology teacher at RGS. 

   

  She showed the children how to create a PAC-MAN game using scratch. 

   

  They really enjoyed reviving such an retro game and will be finishing their games soon so others can play them too. 

  

• Lego club had great fun designing their own Lego themed hoopla game and of course even more fun playing it…

• Celebration Assembly

  Fri 20 Jan 2023

  Our show and tell was very informative today as the children taught us all about electricity and even which vegetables could be used as batteries!

   

  Our digital leaders were also celebrated for their incredible knowledge in computing and our very own theatre performer showed us pictures of her back stage when performing in a Christmas pantomime, which were fabulous. 

   

  We love to see our children’s talents and hobbies on Friday - keep it up Westerhope!

• Our first Celebration Assembly of 2023!

  Fri 13 Jan 2023

  We have had a fantastic start to the year. Class 4 impressed us with their ‘show and tell’ assembly all about everyday materials. We also had a fantastic array of talents to celebrate: gymnastics, rugby, swimming and a puzzle star! 
  
  Two of our Year 6 children have also been the first to complete the Lexia program and we are very proud of them both.

   

  This was only week one so we can only imagine what the children will have to share throughout the year - it’s going to be great!🌟

• Year 4 super sewing!

  Mon 19 Dec 2022

  Year 4 have been creating their Design and Technology textiles unit of sewing a book cover using a running stitch. We attached a button fastening and decorated the front with some buttons and designs. We worked in pairs and had to be very resilient and not give up. Well done Year 4!
