  Festive Movie Night

  Thank you to our brilliant Fundraising Team of staff and parents who volunteered their time running the Festive Film night on Wednesday. The children all had a great time watching 'The Grinch' animation and enjoyed their popcorn treats. We raised a fantastic £385 and will hopefully be able to hold another film night next year.

   

  In order to run  more events like these for the children we also need parents helpers too, if you would like to join our growing team of parent volunteers, please email cfall@whitstable-endowed.kent.sch.uk .

• Kent Life Trip

  Kent Life Trip

  On Thursday Year 4 took a trip to Kent Life open air museum for a Mayan topic day. Our year 4’s spent the day participating in hands-on activities such as sword fighting and weaving and learnt about religion and Mayan calendars. These activities allowed the year 4’s to connect with the Ancient Mayan civilization. This day has created lasting memories and fostered a love for history learning and a great day was had by all despite the rainy weather!

• Remembrance Day

  Fri 10 Nov 2023

  Remembrance Day

  Mrs Gilbert organised a special day in school on Thursday where the children learnt about and took part in various activities linked with Remembrance. There was a special
  Remembrance Collective Worship in school, which included a 2 minute silence.

   

  In class the children were looking at names included on the Whitstable War Memorial for WW1 and looked at family connections to Whitstable and the history of the soldier. Each class decorated a cut out of a soldier with poems and poppies. This really helped the children understand that all of the names on the War Memorials were all real people, with real lives.

   

  The Rev. Rachel is laying our school wreath on our behalf at the Service being held at the Whitstable War Memorial on Sunday 12 November at 11am.
