Outdoor learning
5th Sep 2024
We ventured outside for our first Forest School session this morning. At this time of year we learn to work in groups; cooperating and playing a role in the group. We had some fantastic group work today with P7s and we will be getting ready for more challenging activities.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sausage Sizzle
2nd Sep 2024

To kick off the new term, we are holding a Sausage Sizzle on Friday 6th September. 

All children will be dismissed from school early at 1.00pm - but we hope that parents and carers will then come and grab a hot dog with them, once they are collected. Your children's teachers will be in the hall during this, so this will be chance for you to meet them at the start of a new year. 

We will be able to sample some of the vegetables that Barry Ferguson, parent and school governor, has been growing since our children planted them on his farm in June and there will be representatives from some of the community organisations working in West Winds. 

Please note, children must attend the Sausage Sizzle with their parent/ carer. If they are not attending then you should arrange to collect them as normal. 

It was a really successful event last year - so we're looking forward to it again! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
School reopening - Mon 2nd September
30th Aug 2024

West Winds PS will open as normal on Monday 2nd September. 

The leak within school has been repaired, the water has been reconnected successfully and school has been checked for safety. 

The school water supply was being changed over from a tank-fed system to a Mains water system. The leaks occurred when this changeover took place just after 8.00am this morning. There has been some damage to a couple of ceilings and floors, which will be remedied as soon as possible, but apart from that school is OK. 

Assuming that there are no other issues, we will see you all back on Monday morning! 

Thanks for your patience and flexibility this morning. 
NM
