  Children's Mental Health Week

  We started off Children’s Mental Health Week with an

  assembly led my Mrs Gilbert. She talked about embracing this years theme of Let’s Connect; encouraging connecting with others in healthy, rewarding and positive ways. You can find out more here. The children also made paperchains, decorating individual ones with music, words, activities and things that make them feel connected to others and then joined them all together to make one long paperchain.

   

  We all DRESSED TO EXPRESS using clothing to express ourselves in support of Place2Be. Miss Chapman excelled herself in a dinosaur costume! You can donate via this link

  Cross Country Event

  On Wednesday, some of our Year 5/6s represented Whitstable Endowed at the Herne Bay High School Cross Country event. The children ran approximately 1000m and were up against 16 other schools. The children made us incredibly proud with their behaviour and execution of the race. The children demonstrated excellent sportsmanship by cheering on other schools and Isla fist bumping her close competitor at the end of the race. The boys placed in the top 50 of all the children and our girls placed in the top 30, with Isla C, Lacewings class winning 2nd place for the Endowed! I am very proud of all of you.
