Wednesday 15 March 2023 Neurodiversity at Westbury This week as well as celebrating all things STEM related, we've also been learning about what neurodiversity means and about some famous people who self identify as being neurodiverse too. We took part in a whole school lesson to help us all to learn how it feels to be a learner who is different from others. Year 3 had a visit from Dr Sanderson who helped them to learn how neuropsychologists study how our brains work and how for some people, neurodiversity helps them to achieve excellence in their chosen field. Mr Gill, brother of our very own Miss Gill in Year 4, also kindly shared the following video with us where he talked about his experience of dyslexia. To view this, please click here.

Friday 16 December 2022 Year 3 Assembly This week 3SS performed their class assembly! After lots of practising and learning lines, 3SS took the school on a tour of all of their learning so far. Starting at school with a visit from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, 3SS flew the school on a whirlwind trip across Spain and Italy in search of Rudolph’s missing antlers. 3SS shared their amazing knowledge of volcanoes, including a rap listing some of the biggest volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. Next, the assembly took us to Spain, which gave the class a chance to share the Spanish that we started learning this year! Finally, we flew to Italy, where we discovered the antlers in the hands of a chef looking to make a new shape of pasta!
