Willy Wonka’s Chocolate River!
October 14, 2024
The rain doesn’t stop Bridgewater children from getting outside and benefitting from our OPAL provision. This is a great example of OPAL in action – the children using their imaginations and having so much fun. They turned our sand pit and rain puddle in to Willy Wonka’s chocolate river (with an added hot chocolate station)! […]
School Council Elections!
October 2, 2024
The children have been voting for their School Council Class Representatives! Two per class are elected. Any child can stand for election.

WEST Debating Competition
