Conkers Class enjoyed a visit from three pupils from Sevenoaks School, who came to share their enthusiasm for creative writing. The visitors delivered a short presentation, offering tips and ideas to inspire the children’s storytelling. Using a spooky photograph as inspiration, the children then created their own imaginative stories.

The children had a fantastic first day back for our Enrichment Day, which focused on the important theme of safety.

The day began with a Collective Worship session centred on staying safe in the sun—although the sunshine seems to have disappeared this week! Throughout the day, the children took part in a range of engaging activities, including learning about road safety (and having a local walk), how to stay safe in school, and railway safety.

A particular highlight of the day was the visit from the ambulance crew. A huge thank you to Mr Warburton and Ashley for helping to make this possible—the children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and gained valuable insights into the important work of the emergency services.

Year 6 took part in Bikeability. This is organised by KCC and encourages children to spend more time on their bikes. The children start on the playground and by the end of the week navigated the busy roads around the village. Some amazing life long skills are learnt during this, well done for those who did take part.

Year 6 deserved a well-earned trip to the playground at Dairy Lane on Thursday afternoon following a week of SATs.

We could not be prouder of them!

Here's to their last term at school with school journey and production (to name just 2) to look forward to.

Acorns class shared their learning to the school and parents this week. We were so impressed with how you all spoke, your singing and the amazing art work you shared. A huge well done to the children and a big thank you to the Acorns team for putting together a wonderful sharing assembly!

The children were entirely confused when they arrived in to school on Wednesday morning with all screens turned off! In Collective Worship, Mrs Manson introduced 'Screen Free Week' - a national initiative to try and encourage the reduction of screen time. Staff spent a whole morning teaching in the old fashioned way using whiteboards and paper! Some classes even took their learning outside (which YR6 thought should happen every day!).

It was a great morning, still full of learning.

I shared the link in the newsletter last week, please do explore this with your families. Please make contact with school if this is something you want support with at home.
