Here are a few photo showcasing some of our learning. In science we have learnt about the moon's phases, planets and how shadows are formed. Science linked closely to our English, where the children wrote a recount of a UFO sighting and a biography on the astronaut Tim Peake. In DT we designed and made a motorised Mars Rover buggie. During maths lessons we have looked at place value up to 1 million! Addition and subtraction and how to interpret graphs. The children have also enjoyed learning the ukulele in music and having the opportunity to take part in bike ability. ![](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/images/blog/IMG_1374%5B1%5D.JPG)![](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/images/blog/IMG_1665%5B1%5D.JPG)![](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/images/blog/IMG_1452%5B1%5D.JPG)![](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/images/blog/IMG_1402%5B1%5D.JPG) [ Netball & Cricket in Term 1 (Year 5)](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/blog/2021-10-21-14-00-00-netball-cricket-in-term-1-year-5) [Alliteration and Onomatopoeia (Year 2) ](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/blog/2021-10-22-19-30-00-alliteration-and-onomatopoeia-year-2) ![Eastry Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/eastry-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(2).png) #### Eastry Primary School Cook's Lea Eastry Sandwich CT13 0LR 01304 611360 #### Useful Links - [Ofsted](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted) - [Policies](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/our-school/policies) - [Attendance](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/parents/attendance) - [Contact Us](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/contact) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/eastrycofeprimary/directory_personal_details?locale=en_GB) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/eastrycofeprimary/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Eastry Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://eastry.kent.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
