HEADTEACHER UPDATE
It has been an exciting yet difficult week in school. It has
been lovely to have so many classes out and about on
school trips and there is a little write-up about each trip
below. But it has also been very sad as we have had to close
two class bubbles due to children testing positive for
coronavirus. This is a horrible way for the children to end
what has already been a difficult school year for everyone.
In light of the rapidly increasing numbers locally and having
to close bubbles in school we have reviewed what should
and should not go ahead in the last week of term so that we
can make sure that children are well and not having to self-
isolate for periods of the summer holidays. A letter with more
detailed information is attached with the newsletter.
DRUSILLAS
Class Mozart had a wonderful visit to Drusillas, the weather
was perfect, and the children behaved brilliantly. The
children consolidated their learning with a mini-beast
workshop where they met hissing cockroaches, giant
African Land Snails and millipedes. The children experienced
what it was like to see through the eyes of a fly and learned
about spiders shedding their skins. The children summoned
their courage and even got to stroke a gerbil from the
dessert and a Bearded Dragon.
It was an exciting moment as the level crossing closed and
the bell rang to signify that the train was arriving to take us
on a tour of the zoo. The children remembered the rules
they wrote in class on Tuesday, and sat beautifully as they
chugged past the Lemurs and “absolutely massive”
camels who came out to see us.
After a picnic lunch in the sunshine and a quick climb
around on the explorers playground to let off some energy,
the children walked around the zoo and saw lots of
wonderful animals from owls and penguins to parrots and
wallabies. What a wonderful day we had at Drusillas!
HASTINGS SEAFRONT
Class Lowry had a fantastic visit to Hastings Beach. We
explored the fishing boats, huts, beach and had a very
informative talk from a Lifeboat crew member. The
children listened attentively and asked some interesting
questions. We then had fun in the play park area before
walking to the pier and entertaining everyone by singing,
'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside'. A wonderful day
linking in with our 'Land Ahoy' topic.
HEVER CASTLE TRIP
Class Da Vinci had a brilliant trip to Hever castle and its
grounds this week. The children had a guided tour of the
Italian gardens and Roman statues, a workshop making
Roman aqueducts and a tour around the castle. The
weather was perfect and so were the children representing
our school brilliantly. They also showed their great
knowledge of the Roman period by answering so many
questions with lots of detail. The castle staff were very
impressed. Well done Class Da Vinci!
Wishing everyone a safe and happy weekend!
WORSHIP THEME - What Can We Learn from Football?
This week in worship we reflected on England reaching the
final of the European Cup and the disappointment felt by
the team and the nation at their defeat in the final.
I wanted the children to focus on the positives and the
lessons that we could learn from how the team had
conducted themselves and played in the tournament
Our thoughts centred around the passion and
determination the team had shown. Their commitment to
training, to improvement and to pushing themselves and
showing great courage and the importance of strong
leadership and thinking of the team and not just yourself.
The children then reflected in class on how they could use
these skills to help them be the best learner at school and
in trying to fulfil their future ambitions.
