Welcome Starfish Malawi
Today we welcomed Cathy from Starfish Malawi. She spoke to us about the charity and what life is like in Malawi. We can’t wait to support this charity further and develop more links with our partner school in Kaphatenga.
Internet Safety Day
For Internet Safety Day we have been thinking about 'talk about it' and how it's important for us to talk about any worries we have online through with a trusted adult. Year 2 shared some learning with us in assembly and the school council are making an online safety newsletter for the children.

Celebrating NSPCC Numbers Day
NSPCC numbers day: The school took part in NSPCC numbers day to raise money for the NSPCC and be inspired by maths at the same time. The children completed maths activities in their classes as well as having a variety of maths activities to visit during lunch, led by our year 6s. The children dressed up in imaginative costumes. We had fun exploring number and completing investigations. We played maths games and went on number hunts. We also worked collaboratively with our buddies from other year groups and played maths games that we had made. At lunchtime, we took part in maths 10p challenges. A great day was had by all and we raised £170 for the NSPCC. {gallery:NSPCC Number's Day 2023}

They have been enjoying their weekly lessons but felt especially privileged when They were visited by a Quintet from Trinity Collage London and Phil the director of Bold as Brass. Pandas are looking forward to taking part in The Bold As Brass concert in June!

We were honoured to be donated £250 from Deal Royal Marines Pantomime. The money will go towards some additional books for our library.
School Council Lead Worship
School council led worship and helped us reflect on how we can show our school value of respect. They have organised litter picks to take care of our school grounds.
Starfish Malawi
During our recent Inspire Day we learned all about Starfish Malawi. We talked about our link school, Kaphatenga School, what we would like to know about them and what they might like to know about us. We thought about things that are different in Malawi and even took part in some Malawi themed art and crafts.

Christingle
The juniors went to St Mary's Church to celebrate Christingle. Rev. Andrew taught us about the meaning behind the different parts, dressing up as a Christingle! We enjoyed welcoming our friends and families to share the service with us.
We Will Remember Them
We were fortunate to have Mr James join us in worship. He was representing the Eastry branch of the Royal British Legion. He talked to us about the role of the British legion and their work supporting veterans and families who had lost loved ones. We stood as he recited ‘for the fallen’ we all joined in saying ‘we will remember them’.
