What a wonderful summer we have had with Happy Holidays @ Westcliff Primary Academy!

Thank you to everyone who joined us this summer, so memorable!
The water fight, sports day and sign language seemed to be huge hits when we asked the children their favourite memories at the end of the day today 🤩 Making friends, the staff, competitions and prizes were also mentioned lots ❤️

Having the weather on our side has been a win too ☀️

I think every child has tried a new food, enjoying their snack time activities and hot meals each day 🌮

They have all been absolute superstars and we’re honoured to have shared our summer with your children.

Enjoy the rest of the summer break 🏖️

We look forward to seeing you again during the Christmas Holiday 🎄

Sam and Gerry from
Drumming For All joined us today.
First we learnt the alphabet in British sign language, then learnt how to spell our names and what our sign name might look like.
Then we learnt how to say how we feel in BSL

The children then explored emotions through art and music 🎶 🖼️

A really wonderful morning, and the children were all so engaged and interested.

For snack we spoke about omega 3 and tried some mackerel sandwiches and healthy greens, lunch was sausage, mash and beans 🐟

We can’t believe it’s the last day of Happy Holidays summer 2026 tomorrow, the time has absolutely flown by

Today was a mixture of Happy Holidays Sports day and our Greek themed day.

The children tried various greek foods for snack and lunch today, we did some Greek dancing and colouring a Greek vase competition 🇬🇷

We then went over to the school field for our own mini sports day, the sportsmanship and encouragement of each other was so impressive and very touching to see. Smiles all around and every child took a medal home 🥇

Today we tried out the ‘Mile a day’ project by starting the day with a mile walk around the school and school field! Well done to everyone for taking part and especially those who completed it with me🚶(some children even asked to do another mile 🤣)

We made arts and crafts and had some art competitions with air dry clay and tile art 🎨

The children put their own toppings onto rice cakes for snack time which was really popular 🥒

We then went outside for obstacle course races 🏃

It was meatballs and spaghetti for lunch today 🍝

After lunch the children enjoyed time playing in the forest school area with lots of shade and ice poles to keep cool 🌳

Tomorrow we have sports day, please ensure the children wear trainers 👟 have suncream applied before attending🧴and bring a hat 🧢 and a drink bottle to take over the school field with us.

Today Edd from Fun Science Exeter joined us again and the children made balloon powered cars which they were able to take home, they were amazing 🚗

We did apple tasting at snack time 🍏 and for lunch we had roast chicken!

There has been a change to today’s menu due to staff sickness and having no chef.
