Anti Bullying Week
This week we have been raising awareness for anti-bullying. Learning about how to 'choose respect' which is also one of our school vision values. In class we looked at how we all have our part to play to make the school and our world a kind place to be. We also wore odd socks to show we're all different but everyone should be respected.
Remembering those who Served in our Armed Forces
Year 6 joined other members of our community and the Eastry branch of the British Legion to mark the two minutes silence at 11:00 remembering those who have served in the armed forces.
Laying of a Wreath at Remembrance Sunday Service
Alfie and Colby represented the school at the village Remembrance Sunday service, laying the wreath made by year 1. They showed our school vision values of respect and community. Thank you Mrs Rogers and Miss Thomas for supporting them.
PTFA Bonfire and Fireworks Night
A huge thank you Eastry family for you support of our fireworks event. It was a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you especially to Sam and the PTFA for all their hard work organising the event, the staff and volunteers who helped keep everyone safe and entertained. Also to our fabulous Eastry firefighters who made sure the bonfire could be marvelled at safely and the scouts for their delicious BBQ. And of course Oscar for ‘pushing the button!’ Lovely see our vision value of community in action.
Learning about Respect and the Importance of Remembrance Day
This week in worship we have been thinking about our vision value ‘respect’ and we considered the importance of remembrance. The children made poppies to create a focus for our remembrance worship.
Multi-Faith Inspire Day
Miss Thomas led our Multi-faith Inspire day. The children learnt about creation from different faiths, with the teachers swapping classrooms so they could share different stories. We then welcomed in our families to celebrate what we had learnt.
Visit from Chris Knott - Starfish Malawi
We welcomed back Chris Knott founder of Starfish Malawi when he shared with us some stories from Malawi. We shared with him a song Mrs Gleave had taught us in Chewa (the main language spoken in Malawi) he was very moved by it as were the teachers at Kaphatenga school (our link school in Malawi)
Railway Safety Talk and Workshops
Today the children had a talk from a representative at Network Rail regarding safety on the railways. Year 5 & 6 also took part in a workshop during the afternoon.
