Hamerton Zoo
As part of their Science topic on Animals and their Habibtats and their English topic on non-fiction writing, year four visited Hamerton Zoo Park on Wednesday. They had a fantastic time, spending their time looking at the wide range of different habitats that the zoo provides for the animals as well as looking at some high quality non-fiction text to feed into their writing this week. The children had an amazing time and their behaviour was a real credit to the school.

Coding in Physical Computing
Posted Monday 20th November 2023
Our Year 6 pupils have been exploring and controlling a physical system in their computing lessons this half term, using a programmable controller called a Crumble. Using conditional selection we have been looking at how to program a light to behave like a traffic light - which stays green until a button is pressed, then turns red so we can cross the road, and then back to green. The code required to do this can be seen here, along with a short video showing the outcome. Once we have learnt our way around how Crumble controllers work, we are looking forward to using them to make some exciting fairground rides next term! -

Westfield had a real treat today when Hunts FA brought in two 3v3 inflatable football pitches.
They ran a session in the afternoon and stayed behind for the after school football clubs to ensure that every pupil could have a go.
The looks on the children's faces and their comments showed how much they enjoyed it!
Thanks again to Hunts FA for providing such a great opportunity!

HSSP Girls Football Festival
On Tuesday the 4th of July, Westfield year 5 and 6 girls participated in a football festival in St Neots. It was based on the Womens’ World Cup so we represented Ireland.
Our first game was against Little Paxton which we drew 0-0.
We played Brampton next, who we beat 4-0 with Laraib scoring twice and Edie and Aria scoring as well.
Then we played Priory, who we beat 6-0 with Edie and Laraib both scoring twice and Aria and Abi scoring once.
After that we faced Crosshall, we attacked a lot, resulting in Edie, Aria and Kacey all scoring once. The end score was 3-0 to us.
Warboys were our next opponents. Their defence was quite weak so we managed to get past and score easily. Edie managed to get a hat-trick, and Aria scored twice. The final score was 5-0.
Next we played Bushmead, they were a good side but we managed to beat them with Edie scoring. The final result was 1-0 to us.
Our final game was against Holywell. They had a very good defender and keeper but Edie managed to tackle one of their players near their goal and score. It finished 1-0 to Westfield.
Some of the team featured in the HSSP heroes team, playing with children from other schools to make up numbers in group 2. Aria and Edie both scored in their games.
There was no winner as it was a friendly football festival. Thank you to Mr Webb and Mr Austin for coaching and taking us.

It may seem like a load of old logs to you - but as it decays, this pile of logs will become home to a huge variety of invertebrates. The logs (donated by St Ives Town Council) have been carefully stacked in the pond area. As the logs decompose, invertebrates will eat, rest and live in the rotting wood which in turn will encourage other animals and birds to take up residence.

Eco Explorers supported Groundworks East plant over 50 native saplings at Hill Rise Park. The trees will form a natural corridor between the two wooded areas that buffer the park. Despite the rain and th cold, a good time was had by all. Eco Explorers are proud to know that the trees they have planted will have a long lasting impact on the environment and everyone that uses the park.
