" I had some lovely quotes from the children when I did pupil voice.., " Miss Langley - Art Subject Leader June 2024.
“I love it more than anything else than the world because it is full of colour, happiness and I’m happy because we get to do things we don’t do often. For example, we get to use rubbish in Y6 to make sea animals.” Lily-Mai Y6
“I absolutely love it because I love being creative and I love cutting, gluing and colouring.” Ariana Y6
“I like art because you get to use your imagination with it.” Isabella Y5
“I love it because it’s calm and it feels like you are getting away from all the hard times of the morning of the day.” Harleen Y3
“Art is the best lesson I have ever done at West Hill. I love it, it’s my favourite lesson.” Hollie Y2

Coram Beanstalk Charity - Creating Readers
At West Hill we value reading and do all we can to develop our pupils’ reading ability and foster a love for books.
This week we participated in Reading Buddies. This is where two or more children read together - older students read with younger students.
There are many benefits to a Reading Buddy session:
1) It can help model good reading. As with any skill, reading needs to be practiced on a regular basis, and with this practice as well as modelling, pupils can improve their skills.
2) Reading Buddies allows older pupils the opportunity to develop fluency as well as a sense of pride in their accomplishments. In addition, they often come to see the value of reading. Pupils not only promote good practices but gain self-esteem. Repeatedly reading easier books has been shown to improve reading abilities in readers, and Reading Buddies provides pupils with a reason to read easier books.
3) Reading to younger pupils can help them develop a love of reading and a greater motivation to read.
4) Younger pupils also read to their older buddies, as this allows younger readers to feel a sense of accomplishment while they build fluency.
Buddy visits will be ongoing throughout the year, so older and younger pupils will become familiar with one another and nurture a mutual interest in reading.
