Westdale Junior School news

Our harvest festival was a great success. All the years put on a brilliant performance. Every body complimented us on our singing, which was accompanied by our school orchestra.

Starting off our service, Year 3 acted out the story of stone soup and sang a song followed by Year 4 who chanted a poem about fruit picking then sang a Spanish song. Then Year 5 sang and spoke about development in the world. Last, but not least, Year 6 preformed a play about harvest past, present and future in the style of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

We ended with a talk from Mrs Hayles, our head teacher, and a song to finish it all off. We were very pleased that so many parents and friends were able to come and enjoy our service.

Mr. Coaker (our local MP) came to officially open the new entrance hall at Westdale Junior School on 19th September 2008.



The attractive new entrance hall is very modern and creates an inviting and welcoming atmosphere. The glass and metal front allows people to see in and out clearly and there is a large, curved reception desk. The appearance of the entrance hall has been improved by a huge graphic of silver birch trees covering the whole of one wall and on another there are some examples of different children’s work.

When Mr. Coaker arrived he viewed the beautiful smelling sensory garden, full with lots of brightly coloured plants and flowers. Afterwards he went back inside to be interviewed by three year sixes.

He said that Westdale Juniors is a great school - really nice and a place where lots of good things happen. He also thought that it is nice to see the buildings improving as well. He said the first thing he thought was WOW! He was saying that he has always been impressed with our staff, children and thought it always looks good!

Mr. Coaker thinks that working with the Prime Minister is exciting and interesting and he finds the Prime Minister a nice man. Mr. Coaker wanted to be an MP because he wanted to meet lots of people and help them improve there lives.
