Every week pupils in P1/2/3 start Mondays, Tuesday and Thursdays with a Busy Start activity based around a story they have heard. The children can choose from 3 activities over the course of the week and complete all tasks by the end of the week. The children take pictures and produce pieces of work which are then put together into a class ” Story of Learning”. So far this year we have completed activities based around “The Snail and the Whale”,” The trouble with dragons” and ” A huge bag of worries”. The pupils are quickly engaged in their learning each morning and are keen to complete the range of activities available.

P1/2/3 deserve an Oscar!
Primary 1/2/3 have been putting their acting skills to use this week. We were listening to the story “Oi, Get off our Train” and acting out scenes using movement and mime. We worked with a partner and in small groups and were practicing our facial expressions and reactions to parts of the story. Watch out Hollywood here we come!!! Excellent work P1/2/3.
P1/2/3 are raring to go!!!!
Pupils in Primary 1/2/3 did not take long to settle back into the swing of school life. P2/3 have been helping the new Primary 1’s to learn the class routines and get organised to start learning. Our first topic this term is “Caring World” and children have listened to the story “Oi, Get off our train” by John Burningham. The pupils quickly became interested in the topic and thinking about how we can help to make the world more caring.
We worked together to create a Class Charter to help our classroom become a caring classroom. We then worked collaboratively in pairs to make posters to illustrate the rules.
Whole School Summer Trip
This year the children visited East Links Farm in Dunbar and enjoyed a fun- filled day. The sun shone and so did the children. An enjoyable day was had by all…
On Wednesday 25.06.14 Westfield Primary went to East Link Park and had lots of fun.
There were lots of activities which everybody enjoyed – the go carts, the fortress and seeing the animals. We also enjoyed feeding the animals.
We all went on a steam train and saw all the animals in the field. After the train journey, we all went for lunch.
After lunch we went on the crazy bikes and then we went for Ice lollies and then used the park and the go karts.
We all enjoyed it and it was lots of fun!
