Welcome to Eagles Class (Year 2)

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

Glendale Reading

This term, we have continued to visit Glendale to read to some of the residents. Our reading buddies kindly give up some of their free time to listen to our children read. The reading activities are enjoyed by everyone.

Little Heroes to the Rescue!

In PSHE this term our Key Stage One classrooms have been full of little heroes learning big life skills! We have been learning all about how to call for help and how to use simple first aid if someone needs us. We have explored what an emergency actually is and when we might need to ask an adult for help or call 999. To help us remember what to do, we did lots of fun role plays. Some children pretended to be helpers, some were callers and some were the emergency services. We

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-

Reading Escape Room

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

Boogie on down to better health!

We started our assembly with a quiet check-in, thinking about how we were feeling. Lots of us were a little tired as it is our first week back after half-term...mostly the teachers! As we chatted, the hall felt calm and still. So then, it was time to wake up and shake up! The music started, our bodies began moving, and soon we were dancing our hearts out, with some brilliant cheerleaders leading the way at the front. After all that jumping, dancing, and smiling, we checked in
