Year 4

On Thursday, 8 children from 4E had their first visit to Curly's farm. After meeting Cara, our farm leader, our first job was to muck out the sheep pen and then take the old hay bales to the muck pile.  Then, it was time to feed the animals, so we stacked our wheelbarrows with lots of hay and set off to feed the sheep.  Later on we headed to the barn and saw some 12-day old calves, some ducks, guinea pigs and pigs.  We had a great first day as farmers at Curly's farm!

EYFS

Today Vicky the dental nurse came to visit the EYFS to talk about the importance of looking after our teeth. She spoke to the children about when and how to brush your teeth, for how long, and how many times in the day. 

Two is important.
We brush two times a day.
We brush for two minutes,
We need two things - Toothbrush and toothpaste!

The children played a game where they learned about which foods are good for our teeth and which aren't, ending with a story all about the importance of keeping our teeth healthy.


Year 2

Ahoy mates! Year 2 had a fun filled day yesterday doing pirate maths activities about money, a fact file about pirates in English, learning about the oceans and continents pirates might travelled to.

Year 5

On Tuesday 21st February, between 1:00 and 1:30 the WRPS House Trophy was stolen. Year 5 were quickly at the scene of the crime making observations and gathering evidence to help identify the culprit. From the evidence collected already, Year 5 have been asking relevant questions to clarify links and identifying scientific experiments which could be carried out to correctly place someone at the scene of the crime. Year 5 will immerse themselves as crime scene investigators this term and keep you updated with their progress in the investigation. 






Year 4

On Monday afternoon, Year 4 visited Gravesend Train Station to celebrate the end of our topic 'All Aboard' - innovations of the railway.  While there, we got to ask lots of questions about trains and the station itself and even got the chance to listen to two passing freight trains (both were very loud!).

Safer Internet Day 2023

To celebrate Safer Internet Day 2023, the Year 6 Computing Ambassadors created their own presentations about the importance of Online Safety with a focus on telling an adult about anything they come across that makes them feel uncomfortable or worried. They confidently delivered their presentations to each class within the school. In addition to this, the children completed activities in their classes to learn about the importance of Online Safety, such as creating posters about staying safe when they are online.
