Years 4 and 5 have had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the new coastal park refurbinshment which has been taking place. The children were visited by one of the Proludic Site contractors, who showed the children a virtual tour of the new playground, which was super exciting to see. More recently, the children were then invited down to visit the construction site to have a personal tour around the new playground before it opened to the public. We were also greeted by a f

Today many of James' Dance Club performed at the Quarterhouse. The event was the Wavelengths Community Dance Day, it is the second year this exciting opportunity has been held. Various different Dance Schools joined in for this event, which was a pleasure to watch. Huge thanks to James for organising and teaching our children the two dances, Colour of Love and Journey to the Past. We really appreciate all the children and parents that helped to make the occasion so great.

What a fabulous day we have had celebrating World Music Day today. We were so fortunate to be joined by Kevin Richards, the drummer from Gumboots Reggae Band, who led every class in a drumming workshop. The children did a great job drumming out the various patterns Kevin taught them and also at following a type of call and response signal letting them know when to start, break and stop. At lunchtime, Mrs Hodgkinson sang to the children in the hall whilst they ate their lunch.

The children had a good understanding of the difference between migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. They were then shown a clip of a very familiar face, Paddington Bear, alone and lost

It was raining confetti in Assembly today as we all gathered together for our last PSHE assembly of the academic year. Together we celebrated our individual achievements! A few brave individuals walked our red carpet and shared their success stories with the whole school - We had proud moments such as Leap of Faith from our Residential trip, to being good friends, to wonderful art work. After this, it was time for the teachers to celebrate all of the pupils at St Eanswythe's

St Eanswythe’s Worship Leaders were lucky enough to visit Canterbury Cathedral last week! Dressed as Monks, Kings, Queens and Bishops we travelled back through time as we explored the magnificent building. We stopped off at key historical hot spots whilst enjoying the peace and serenity of the cathedral. Even us teachers were struck by its beauty and the calmness of the surroundings. A key fact we learnt about was that Monks would only have a proper bath once a year in Decemb

Chess Club members are always very vocal in their learning about chess and when it comes times to play each other, the children become very animated especially if they are using the four way chess board. Thanks Mathew for the teaching.
