Be Your West End Best
At West End we offer a range of extra curricular activities to enhance the children's experiences beyond the classroom. With a focus on promoting physical and emotional wellbeing across school, we offer activities that help the children to engage in sport, games and physical activity as well as relaxing and calming sessions such as art and Lego. Pupil voice is taken into account and we consult with our children and families to ensure we are offering a range of clubs which have a high uptake. This year so far we have offered, skateboarding, cross country, multi-skills, netball, basketball, dodgeball and football, Lego, art and Spanish.
STEM activities are proven to enrich pupil learning, understanding and enjoyment of the full curriculum. Our STEM club is a fun and creative extra-curricular session for Year 3, 4 and 5!
The children spend their time following a set of instructions to produce a variety of different prototypes linked to the Science, Maths or Engineering industries. All of the projects require DT skills, but it is fundamental that children work as a team to design, make and evaluate their work. Most recently, the children have created a paddle board to try out at home.
This week the children worked on Chromatography the technique used to separate mixtures. The mixture is passed through another substance, in this case filter paper. The different colour ink particles travel at different speeds through the filter paper allowing us to see the constituent colours of the pen ink. The children enjoyed making Mothers Day flowers.
