The classes have all had a chance to look inside a living wagon that belongs to a grandparent of children that go to our school. The children were able to go inside, ask questions about the history of the wagon and also meet a special four legged friend! Some of the parts of the wagon were over 100 years old.
A big thank you to Mr Hoggart for helping our school achieve the Sainsbury’s Gold Sports Award. In 2016-2017, we entered a number of events including: rugby, tennis and cross country. The number of children participating in sports and active games increased too. Well done everyone!
Children attending breakfast club are encouraged to run at least one mile every morning before 9 a.m. Mr Hoggart and Mr Johnson encourage all children to participate. The activity is proving very popular with children from Reception to Year 6.

Share Aware Campaign
Share Aware, from NSPCC and O2, gives parents all the tools they need to have regular and informed conversations with their child about staying safe online. Under 20% of parents discuss online safety regularly with their children but we want to get every family talking about their child’s life online, just as they would their day at school.
Parents can sign up to the Icebreaker email series and become an expert in their child’s online world in 6 weeks, follow our four simple steps to keeping kids safe online, watch our film ‘Safety advice from a 10 year old’ or visit Net Aware – our guide to your child’s social networks apps and games.
The internet is a great place for kids to be, being Share Aware makes it safer.

At West Cornforth Primary School, we pride ourselves on being safe when we are online and using digital devices. There is an eCadet group that regularly helps and advises children in school. This group took over the teaching of digital literacy for Safer Internet Day 2017. They planned, resourced and delivered lessons to each class in school. The group received excellent feedback from both children and teachers! Well done to Emily, Ellie, Madison, Logan, Harvey, Caitlin, Robert, Joe and Harvey.
The children impeccably observed a 2 minute silence for Remembrance Day. They laid crosses on the grass as the names of fallen soldiers were read out from the Cenotaph. They were a credit to the school and to the village.
In October 2017, we were visited by Deanna Van Der Velde , who is a member of the Jewish Faith. She took a whole school assembly and spent time in each of the classes. The children learned about religious symbols and beliefs, celebrations and places of worship.
