Published 17/05/24, by Joshua CialisThe benefits of the children going outside are huge:
- improve moods
- reduce feelings of anxiety
- helping them take time out and feel more relaxed
- improve their physical health
- improve their confidence and self-esteem
- helps them become more active
- help build relationships with other children through play.
With the changeable warmer weather, the children will go outside as much as possible at break and lunchtimes. Please make sure that your child is prepared with the correct clothing whatever the weather.
'There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.'

Published 16/05/24, by Joshua CialisJust to remind you that it is the Viking Games for Year 3 and 4 on Tuesday.
Please remember:
- children must arrive promptly so we can leave school at 8:45am to catch the train
- to check the weather and dress children appropriately (hats and sun cream may be needed)
- to send children in with a labelled water bottle as there will be many children in one place
- bring a packed lunch
- wear a t-shirt the same colour as your child's house
Any questions, please ask the office!

Published 09/05/24, by Joshua CialisYear 4 had the best time at Kent County Showground for the Living Lands trip. The trip was a real celebration of agriculture and our local community of Kent.
The children had the opportunity to see and stroke farm animals they hadn't seen before, they tried new foods grown locally, some had the opportunity to shear a sheep, we learnt how cows are milked and we saw dancing sheep!

Published 07/05/24, by Seb ChamberlainIt truly is wonderful seeing how much more confident the children are feeling with their tables, and the pride they feel at this. Please continue to encourage them to only practice on Multiplication Tables Check - Mathsframe, the mock version of the test. It has been key in getting them more used to the timings (six seconds per question) of the check.
The tables they find tricky are the 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s and 12s.
Ten minutes a day makes a huge difference so please encourage your child to practice, practice, practice!

Read MoreWeather - Living Lands trip
Published 01/05/24, by Seb ChamberlainThere is a chance of rain, so please make sure your child has a rain jacket and suitable footwear - the ground is likely to be very muddy!
Children must be at school at 8:00am as the coach will be leaving promptly at 8:15am. Unfortunately, if your child is not at school and on the coach by 8:15am, they will not be able to go on this school trip and will have to remain at school.
All children must:
- Wear school uniform.
- A packed lunch (no egg, no nuts)
- A drinks bottle (no fizzy drinks or glass bottles)
- Waterproofs (it will probably rain and we are outside most of the day)
- Sun cream (if needed)
- Children will need to carry everything for the day and will not be able to leave things on the coach
Children do NOT need to bring any money to the event as there is nothing for sale.
If your child takes any medication (that is not already in school), this needs to be given to the office on the day of the trip, so we can take it with us.
