'In our final Science lesson of Year 6, we made 'blood'! First, we poured water into a bottle and added salt and yellow food colouring to represent plasma which contains proteins, sugars and salts. Then to represent the blood we added red food colouring along with Cheerios (as red blood cells), white marshmallows (as white blood cells) and raisins (as platelets). Red blood cells carry oxygen around, white blood cells help prevent diseases by fighting them and platelets create scabs'.

There are not enough words to express how AMAZING this year's KS2 production was. From the Year 6 performers to the KS2 choir.

So, let's hand it over to some of the stars of the show for their comments:

'I absolutely love the production this year. As a Year 6 and this being my last production I am so glad that this specific production was chosen. I adore how the production chose perfectly reflected our class energy. I enjoyed it so much and would be so happy if I was given the chance to do it again'.

Saskia

'It was so good! My favourite part was the dressing up. It was so exciting!'

Bailey

'I played Galileo in the production. It had difficult lines but if you learnt them it made it easier. I was really proud of singing in front of everyone as I was the first soloist'.

Milly

A huge thank you goes to Mrs Hutchinson, who led the production, as well as to the parents and staff members who worked so hard behind the scenes to create the set, manage the scene changes, and take care of everything in between. It was a truly wonderful performance to watch, and I'm sure you'll all agree that the children were absolutely fantastic!

Well done to everyone involved for making it such a huge success.

On Wednesday, a group of KS2 children went to Tonbridge School for the annual District Sports event organised by Sevenoaks Partnership of schools.

'We came 2nd in the tunnel ball event. It was really fun!'

Beatrice

'My favourite part was the running. Even though I came last I was still confident'

Annie

'I came 2nd in the long distance event against the Year 5s and 6s. I was very tired and got way too hot!'

Walter

The school enjoyed more musical performances at the end of the week with the final Rocksteady concert of this year. It was lovely to see the children perform some rock classics. Each band played amazingly well, supported by Tommy who has been fantastic this year. A huge well done, keep on rockin'!

A huge well done to our amazing dancers who performed at the Crockham Hill Village Fete last Saturday. We received so many wonderful comments and positive feedback from everyone who watched their performance.

We were incredibly proud of the children and amazed by how well they learned and remembered the long dance routines. They performed with great enthusiasm, confidence and energy, and were fantastic ambassadors for our school.

Thank you to all the families who came along to support them, and congratulations once again to our talented dancers on such a successful performance!

A huge thank you to all of our children for taking part in Sports Day with such enthusiasm and determination. It was wonderful to see everyone giving each event their best effort, demonstrating great sportsmanship and encouragement towards one another throughout the day.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Mrs Rowland and Mrs Gibson for all their hard work in organising such a successful event. Finally, thank you to Emily and the PTA for providing refreshments afterwards, which were greatly appreciated by everyone.

Thank you to all who helped make the day such an enjoyable and memorable occasion.
