What an information-packed visit Year 5 had on our recent trip to Margate Train Station and its railway education centre. 🤩 The children were so engaged during the introductory quiz which really tested their knowledge of trains and railways. They also had the opportunity to identify the train hazards on an interactive model railway and watch a rail safety video. 🚂 We were given a special guided tour of the station, introducing us to the important safety features and even the equipment that is used. What an interesting visit! 🎉 Well done to all the Year 5 children for their great engagement!

🐛✨ Exciting news from Year 1 and Year 2! ✨🦋 As part of our Science topic on life cycles, we have some very special, tiny visitors staying in our classrooms! The children have been absolutely captivated by our new classroom caterpillars. Every morning, our eagle-eyed pupils are observing them closely, checking to see how much they’ve grown and waiting eagerly for the magical moment they make their chrysalises. To help us understand this amazing transformation, the children have also been busy creating some fantastic learning resources—from beautiful lifecycle wheels to brilliant diagrams! 🎨📝 We are learning firsthand how these tiny caterpillars will soon transform into beautiful butterflies, and the excitement in the air is real. We can't wait to see what happens next! Watch this space... 👀👇

The BBC will be filming over the summer a new series called Will You Be My Friend? about childhood friendships. They are currently looking for sociable, confident children aged 5 to 8 who enjoy meeting new people and making friends, and who may be open to taking part in a filmed playdate with another child who is finding it hard to make friendships. Parents can find out more information and apply via the link below. https://eu.castitreach.com/ag/fivemilefilms/wybmfs1/welcomeFriend.html

Our Year 1 mathematicians have just wrapped up an exciting, hands-on topic all about money! Using toy currency throughout the unit, the children worked hard to identify and understand the value of different UK coins and notes. 💷 The absolute highlight of their learning was transforming the classroom into a bustling shop where they could buy items from one another, practice counting out amounts and develop the tricky skill of giving change. 🪙 This interactive approach has brilliantly boosted their real-world math skills. Well done Year 1!

🌲🎨 Year 1 have been exploring the beauty of forests through art! Using wax pastels, the children learned how to blend colours to create rich textures and tones. They were also introduced to the concept of perspective, helping them understand how objects appear closer or further away. By combining these new skills, the children created some truly beautiful forest drawings, full of depth, colour and imagination. We are so proud of their creativity and the progress they have made. Take a look at their fantastic outcomes! 🍃✨
