Our sincere thanks to the dragons who joined Year 6 for a morning of fantastic presentations, innovative business ideas and amazing negotiations.
Before half term, Year 5 & 6 pupils travelled to France for a week. It provided the children with the opportunity to immerse themselves in French culture and use their French language skills to navigate around towns and cities and (most importantly!) to order ice cream.
Congratulations to West Lodge pupils on their recent success in the London South Area round of the ISA Art Competition. The following pieces achieved first place:
To tie in with their current topic, Year 4 visited Leeds Castle and journeyed back to Tudor times to learn more about Henry VIII.
Year 6 had a wonderful day visiting the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
Year 3 & 4 enjoyed their two day residential at Stubbers Adventure Centre and used all of the West Lodge Learning Powers during the visit (concentration, curiosity, resilience, co-operation, and self-improvement) during the week.
Year 6 enjoyed a fascinating visit to Tate & Lyle's Thames Refinery to learn about the production process from raw material to the end consumer as part of West Lodge's commitment to STEM education.
Congratulations to Year 3 and 4 for their fantastic production of Plastic Pirates.
The motivation behind STEM week was to introduce the children to problem solving challenges, enabling them to use their creativity together with their science and technology skills to become engineers.
Despite the wet weather, Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their field trip in which they learnt about the journey of a river, floodplains (which they saw first hand!) and took part in a fascinating investigation into the permeability of rocks.
Congratulations to our Netball Team who competed in the ISA National Finals in Warwick, finishing 18th nationally.
Congratulations to our Class of 2024 who will leave us in the summer for a wide variety of destinations both within the Bexley Borough and beyond.
