Autumn 2
Week 1 - 3.11.22 - Bethany for Individual Liberty - Yesterday, Bethany got given her script for the Christmas show and has a main part and a solo! Today, she came into school having learnt all of her lines at home last night and not needing a script! We were all very impressed Bethany - well done!
Week 2 - 10.11.22 - Lilie for Tolerance - We have been working really hard with Lilie and handwriting this year and making sure she keeps it straight and not wonky! She has been doing so much handwriting practice in lessons and with Mrs Thompson as well and we're both really seeing the difference! Well done Lilie
Week 3 - 17.11.22 - Jacob for Individual Liberty - Jacob always brings so many things into school to share with everyone and show off on our tree of dreams, it is becoming Jacob's Tree of Dreams! He gets involved in so many other things outside of school, it is lovely to see him enjoy this and share it! Well done Jacob!
Week 4 - 24.11.22 - Melanija for Rule of Law - Melanija has been a superstar this half term! She is always ready to learn and is always willing to give everything a go. She follows all of the rules and works so well, even if she is all over the place in different groups in the morning (and she had a great time bowling and at the cinema this week!). Well done Melanija!
Week 5 - 1.12.22 - Ayden for Tolerance - Ayden is new to Westwood and to our country. At home, his mum has been showing him how to write and me and Mrs Thompson have been showing him how to write joined up and he has picked it up so well from all of us! We also found out from him that in Hong Kong, you only go to school until lunch and then go home, so Ayden has tolerance for this week for doing a full week of school of full days - he must be shattered! Well done for a first week at Westwood Ayden!
Week 6 - 8.12.22 - Lyla for Individual Liberty - Lyla has worked so hard this week. She did an amazing performance as part of our Christmas show and she has been working hard at home with her reading, spelling and Times Table Rockstars.

Week 4 - 26.1.23 - Bethany for Mutual Respect
Bethany has been working really hard in maths this week and I've also been really impressed with how well she has been at helping other people who have struggled a little bit. She hasn't told them the answers but she has spoken to them really helpfully and given them some tips. Well done Bethany!
Week 5 - 2.2.23 - Kayden for Tolerance
Kayden worked really hard when we tried our new way of doing art this week. He was very patient and tried really hard to set his work out as neat as he could, whilst also putting his own personal spin onto it. Well done Kayden!
