Recently, we had the pleasure of taking part in the Dartford District Schools Fast 5s Football Festival. Our dynamic team scored numerous goals and were victorious in all their matches! It was truly a delightful experience.
A big thank you to all our parents and carers who came to cheer and support our team.
We recently ran a competition asking the children to design a poster encouraging road safety. The School Council judged all the entries and decided on the winner.
Ash class won the first Summer Challenge Day for Dartford District’s ‘Walk to School’ competition, run by the KM group. Two members of the class went to Leeds Castle to receive an award and everyone in the class won a ticket to Diggerland. Congratulations Ash Class!
Last year we launched the fabulous Maths competition “The 20p Challenge”. This saw children across the school collecting as many 20p coins as possible, earning them by doing a variety of different tasks. This year we aim to come back even bigger and better and see if we can beat Pine Class’s amazing total of over £200 in 20p coins! Children can earn their coins in a variety of different ways from walking the dog, walking to school, reading their book every day for a week or doing lovely helpful things around the home (parents this is your opportunity to use this to your advantage!)
We are fast approaching “My Money Week” commencing the week beginning 16th July, where all classes will take part in money based activities and begin to add up how many coins their class has collected. On THURSDAY 19TH JULY we will be finalising the amount per class and announcing the winner. The winning class will get a special prize!
So dig deep into those pockets, have a rummage behind the sofa cushions and see if you can help your class be the winners of this year’s 20p challenge!
We are a singing school!
After all the hard work our children have put into their singing this academic year, we have submitted the evidence and been awarded GOLD by the Sing Up Awards. The awards recognise and celebrate schools that put singing at the heart of school life, and we are very proud of our children!
Our children joined up with WGGS last term to undertake some exciting scientific experiments!
We are very grateful to all our wonderful families for the generous food donations we received for our harvest collection.
We welcome volunteers to help in school. Whether you are creative, enjoy playing games, like gardening or are excellent at laminating, we appreciate your support.
Reception Children have been learning the fun and benefits of eating healthily by seeing what goes into our school lunches and making Italian meatballs with tomato and basil sauce; a dish from our future menu!
We are continuing to discover more about the Great Fire of London and would appreciate any donations of boxes, clean yogurt pots, bottle lids, plastic bottles, cereal boxes, kitchen role tubes so we can begin our junk modelling of London.
