Last Thursday Year 3 went to the British Museum to take a better look at what life was like in Ancient Egyptian times. Even though it was very busy we did get to see everything in both rooms. It was extra special as we are currently reading The Ancient Egyptian Sleepover by Stephen Davies who has set this story in the actual museum itself and we were all guessing which parts of the room they slept in by recalling the story. There is also alot of reference to many of the artif

Today in Owls Class, we became geographers as we explored the fascinating world of rivers! We began by learning that a river is like a long, winding road made of water. We discovered that every river has a source, where it begins high up in the mountains, and a mouth, where it ends in a sea, ocean or lake. The children quickly became confident using new geographical vocabulary. We also explored some of the world’s most famous rivers, including the Nile, the Amazon and the Riv

Ducklings Class had an absolutely roarsome time on their trip to Folkestone Museum, where they took part in a fun, hands-on dinosaur workshop! The children explored how rocks and fossils are formed, getting stuck in with some amazing real-life specimens from Folkestone and beyond. They discovered which dinosaurs once roamed right where they live and learned how scientists use clues from fossils to understand the past. The session was packed with sensory activities, giving eve

On World Book Day we were so lucky to take part in a Reading Escape Room!  Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 pupils had to escape Crow Castle by working in teams and taking a journey through the rooms via the magic of books. From MacBeth to Charles Dickens, Frankenstein and Sherlock Holmes, the children had to turn detective and search for clues. They had to read, infer, comprehend, spell, scan, skim and riddle their way to freedom, or face the Crow Queen and be trapped in Crow Castle. Duck

Our Eucharist service in church this week was led by our worship leaders carrying the cross, with Years 4, 5, and 6 taking part. Pupils who have been confirmed were able to receive Holy Communion. Throughout the service, all pupils showed good behaviour and respect, reflecting our school values. The service began with a hymn, then prayers, an opportunity to say sorry to God for any wrongdoings, an offer of peace to each other, and then remembering the Last Supper as Father Ch

Last week, Years 5 and 6 took part in Young Voices at the O2 Arena in London, along with 9000 other children and what an experience it was! We were lucky enough to have four suites so we really felt like VIPs for the day. We arrived earlier than planned so ate our lunch before being taken to our suites. The children took part in the warm up and rehearsals so they knew what to expect. We also took part in a Wicked Worldwide Singalong which was live streamed across the globe! A

Do you like eggs for breakfast, or maybe for lunch or dinner? Well in PSHE Year 2's whole lesson was about...you guessed it...eggs! Together, we had the chance to look at real life eggs, we observed their different colour, the speckles on some and not others and the different sizes of our eggs. After this, came the exciting part, we got to crack our eggs into bowls. We had to work as a team so that we didn't get any on the floor (Shame Mrs Semple wasn't as careful!) We then p

We ended the term in the most special way with our annual Carol and Christingle Service, held on Friday afternoon at St Mary and St Eanswythe’s Church. As we arrived, families were welcomed into the church by our school Christmas choir, who have spent much of December spreading festive cheer throughout the local community. The choir have been visiting care homes and supermarkets, sharing popular Christmas songs and traditional hymns, and it was a joy to see them open our serv
