• Year 2 Trip to Hare Krishna Temple in Watford

  Wed 13 Jul 2022

  This week Year 2 went on their trip to the Hare Krishna Temple in Watford. They had a fantastic day in the sun and enjoyed exploring the gardens, visiting the cows and going on a cart ride. The children had the opportunity to visit a Hindu shrine and wear traditional Indian dress. The trip was a great opportunity to bring the RE lessons we had taught this summer to life.

  

• Year 6 Performance - The Greatest Show!

  Wed 13 Jul 2022

  This week, Year 6 gave the performance of their lives in The Greatest Show! The children have been working hard for weeks to prepare for the show which was about the sabotage of Pickle's Perambulating Palace of Performers (a Victorian circus). All of the children really impressed with their acting, singing and dancing. They were confident and enthusiastic, and made their teachers extremely proud! It's safe to say, that they really did put on the greatest show!

  

• Lower School Sports Day

  Tue 12 Jul 2022

  Year 1 and 2 had their Sports Day on Tuesday 12th July and it was a great day. There was a mixture of races (relays and individual) on the field and other sporting challenges on the playground. Each class represented a country competing in the Commonwealth Games this summer in Birmingham. The classes came out to their chosen country's national anthem and received a warm reception from all their friends and family in attendance. All races on the field and events on the playground were completed with desire, skill and team-work, which was lovely to see. Family, friends, PSD coaches, staff members and year 5 students were so supportive all morning and it really helped spur the children on and perform at their very best!

  What a lovely day we all had at this year's Summer Fair.  It was wonderful to see so many students, staff, parents, alumni and residents of the suburb, back together again celebrating what was a glorious summer day. It was amazing to see the whole community eating, laughing, chatting and having so much fun together. Thank you all so much for making it one of the most memorable days for the West Lodge community.

• Year 5 and 6 Cricket Squad - West London Champions!

  Tue 05 Jul 2022

  On Tuesday 5th July, the Year 5/6 cricket squad travelled to Ealing Cricket Club to take part in the 'West London Final'.  Having won our pool and group matches and been crowned Champions of Harrow - the team felt proud to represent the Borough of Harrow at this prestigious event.  

   

  On the day, ten teams represented five different boroughs - Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow and Hounslow.  The teams were initially split into two different pools and, after some amazing performances from the boys, we won all four of our matches to finish top of our group; the boys showed such skill, grit and determination to win against St Stephen's, St Gregory's, Byron Court and then Heston.  After a well-deserved rest and lunch break, we met Pinner Wood in the Final . It was great that the two Harrow teams had reached the final! We had met Pinner Wood previously in the semi-final of the Harrow tournament where the game had to be decided by a Super Over (West Lodge won by 1 run) after the match was initially tied - the pressure was palpable.  

   

  In the final, we batted first and built a defendable score with some big hitting from the boys.  Our bowlers, as they had done throughout the whole day, then bowled with accuracy and finesse.  Pinner Wood required 13 off their last over however, we managed to restrict them to only 7 runs, a run out on the last ball due to the quick thinking of Arjun secured the victory.  As a result, we are proud to announce that we are now officially the Champions of West London - an accolade to be so proud of.  Congratulations to the whole squad and thank you again to our parents for all the support and flexibility.  WE DID IT!!!!!

• Visit by Paul Jackson - Storyteller

  Fri 01 Jul 2022

  This week we have been lucky enough to have had a visit from the storyteller called Paul Jackson.  Each class had the opportunity to go over to the roundhouse to listen to Paul tell stories and play a range of different multicultural instruments.  The children hung to his every word as they went with him on magical journeys.  At times they laughed, at other moments they jumped in shock but throughout they were mesmerised by the powerful, rich language used to bring the stories to life in their imagination.  We felt very privileged to be the final school that he will visit as he now makes more time to focus on writing his books.
