A day at Westdale

Clubs and activities


There are lots of activities to do at lunchtime and after school. Not all of these clubs run all year round but this pages should give you a good idea of the things we can do.

Music

Choir is held every Wednesday at lunch time. Mr. Caldwell plays the piano and Mr. Jennings teaches us the songs. We sing various types of songs and we usually preform concerts every term.

The school also has an orchestra. It practices on Mondays at lunch time with Mr. Jennings. Children can also learn to play the recorder at lunch time (with Mr. Jennings or Mrs. Tupholme) and Music Club takes place after school on Fridays.

Some of the children have violin lessons. The teacher comes in to school on Mondays and after school Mr. Caldwell runs 'Fiddling For Fun' for the violinists to play together.

Sport

We have a school football team run by Miss Kilbane, an athletics team run by Mr Jennings and Miss Kilbane. They practice after school and take part in area competitions.

The YMCA Sport in the Community also runs an after-school PE session.

In the summer term we have a Rounders Club run by Mr. Jennings and Miss Kilbane. Everyone in the rounders club has the chance to play for the school rounders team against teams from other schools at one of the Nottingham Rounders Rallies. We also have tag rugby and cricket clubs.

Languages

Mrs. Roberts runs French Club at lunchtimes on Tuesdays and Miss Turville runs Spanish Club.

Other Activities

There are two Computer Clubs, one for children in Years 3 and 4 and one for children in Years 5 and 6. There is a Dance Club (after school on Wednesdays), We have a Gardening Club (which meets on Wednesday lunchtimes) run by Mrs Tupholme, Mrs Roberts and Miss Birkett.
