Welcome to Class 6

Celebrating All things British: A Tea-rific Day!

Today in assembly, we celebrated everything British! We explored the values that make living in modern Britain so special, including celebrating our differences and showing respect to one another. Afterwards, we took part in a big quiz all about Britain; we spoke about religions, British Bands, Castles and The King! Did you know that around 100 million cups of tea are enjoyed in the UK every day? It was a wonderful time that left us all feeling proud to be British!

Easter Service 2026

On the final day of term, our school community came together for a very special Easter service at St Eanswythe's Church. Over the past few weeks, the children have been busy preparing songs, poems, artwork and readings to help retell the Easter story. It was a truly collaborative celebration, with every class contributing something unique and meaningful. The service began with a joyful reflection on Palm Sunday, with Ducklings waving palm leaves and singing, setting the scene

St Eanswythe's Easter Bonnet Parade 2026

This week, the children of St Eanswythe’s took part in our much-loved Easter Bonnet Parade, bringing a wonderful splash of colour and creativity to our local community. After some careful crafting at home, the children arrived at school proudly with their spectacular Easter bonnets. Each one was unique, decorated with bright spring flowers, chicks, eggs and ribbons, a real celebration of the season! We then set off on a special parade around The Bayle and the churchyard of St

DT Playgrounds in Year 6

This week, Year 6 have had lots of fun designing and making their very own playgrounds. They thought carefully about what they like about playgrounds they have visited and decided on a theme for their own. They had to include: something to hide in or under, something to climb, something that moves and of course it had to be fun and aesthetically pleasing! The children used their knowledge of building 'A frames' including the triangulation method to add strength to the struct

Personal Layered Portraits

This term in Year 6, the children have been exploring the theme of identity through their Art lessons, creating thoughtful and expressive layered self-portraits. We began by revisiting portraiture, where the class worked hard to develop their observational drawing skills and refine their pencil control. It has been wonderful to see how their confidence and attention to detail has grown, particularly as they compared their work to previous years and focused on creating lighter

English Competition Winners!

Today, our Year 6 class represented us in an English competition against some other local schools and we won! The children impressed the judges not only with some stunning fluent reading but their outstanding spelling of rehearsed and unseen words. The rest of the class supported their classmates and it was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Well done Year 6- you are amazing!

Astor Dance Performance

Today twenty children from James’ Dance Club went to Astor School in Dover to participate in a multi school dance festival. Every one of our girls performed confidently with great stage presence. Thank you to all the parents for providing costumes and for offering help with transport. The children behaved extremely well and were a credit to the school. They should all be very proud of themselves. Thanks James for all your hard work.

WBD Hat Competition

Last week, to celebrate World Book Day, sixty of our children took part in our Hat Competition. It was wonderful to see how much care, time and creativity had gone into each and every hat. The entries showed fantastic effort from the children, with each one designing a unique hat inspired by a favourite story or book character. Today we announced the winners and took time during our celebration worship to recognise and celebrate every single hat. The display was truly breath-

A big thank you to everyone who provided costumes and props for your children on World Book Day.

World Book Day in Year 6

What a super World Book Day it has been! The imagination and creativity with all the costumes has been outstanding so a huge thank you to the grown ups who have helped. We had a range of words including: rapper, sleepy, buckle, discombobulated wizard and many more! We created book tokens as part of a competition, took a trip to the bookshop with our wonderful buddies and had lots of fun at an escape room in the school hall. A huge thank you again for providing your child with
