Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory
Kiwi Class was transformed into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory last week!
The children have been reading the Roald Dahl book 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' for English so Miss Galvin and Mrs Moody turned their desks into a factory with sweets and bubbles galore!
This was all to inspire the children with their writing about the journey on the chocolate river.
Fairtrade Fortnight
21 February to 6 March 2022
For two weeks each year at the end of February and start of March, thousands of individuals, companies and groups across the UK come together to share the stories of the people who grow our food and drinks, mine our gold and who grow the cotton in our clothes, people who are often exploited and underpaid.
Well done to Rhys who created this informative PowerPoint slide and presented it to his class today.
Kiwi Class Big Garden Birdwatch
Kiwi Class took part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch at school on Friday as part of their science work.
They were joined by bird expert Ian Searle, who took them out in the playground birdwatching and helped them identify some of the birds they spotted.
The children were all given sheets of different birds to look out for and learnt all about the local environment and the changing habitats for our birds. They also made special bird feeders from toilet rolls and bird seeds. A big thank you to Ian for coming in and sharing his expertise.
Year 3 Nativity - 7 December

Celebrating Black History Month
Kiwi Class celebrated Black History Month by presenting an exhibition to Upper School. The children researched inspirational individuals who made and impact on how black people were perceived.
Well done to Rhys in Kiwi Class who was awarded PLAYER OF THE WEEK last week at Canterbury Rugby Club for his effort and improvement. Fantastic Rhys!

Sandwich Station
Iris class were busy enjoying Food Tech this term and enjoyed creating some delicious looking sandwiches, that they also got to eat at the end of lesson.
Remote Learning Work
The children have brilliantly adapted to their remote learning lessons and curriculum work via Microsoft TEAMS. Mr Hadlow has been in his class with those children in school and together they have all managed to interact and enjoy some lessons together.
It is obviously not the same as all being together in person, but lovely to see the technology working in practice!

Charity Hair Cut!
Darcey was very brave at the weekend and chose to have her very long hair cut off! She had a total of 12 inches cut off, so it can be sent to a charity that make wigs for little girls who lose their hair due to illness. Well done Darcey, what a lovely thing to do.

Term 2: Look what we've been up to!
Dear Families of The Endowed - Iris Class
I just wanted to say a massive Thank you for all your help and support with the Nativity on Friday!
Without your support with costumes, learning lines and songs, it would have been impossible for it to go ahead! The children are an absolute credit to you and I am so immensely proud of everything that they did in such unusual circumstances!
We will be hopefully posting the video of the Nativity on "Teams" tomorrow, all being well! You can all have a well earnt rest from the Nativity now, me and the other staff in Iris class included and we hope that you all enjoy watching it as soon as possible.
Thanks again, Mr H.

Quarantine Question Time!
Does Mr Hadlow find it easier to teach Lynx Class or his own children and what is his embarrassing disco move! Can you guess what Mr Baker's favourite Lockdown Lunch is and what new skill has he learnt. What animal would Miss Braid like to keep as a pet in her back garden and is there a rainbow in her window? To find out, click on Mr Hadlow, Mr Baker and Miss Braid's Quarantine Question Time video as they reveal all!
Create a time capsule
We are in the middle of the most significant planet-wide event since The Second World War. Our children are living through a period which will be taught in schools in years to come. And when their own children have 'show and tell' it's kind of both cool and humbling to think of their classmates looking back in time through items, photos and notes deliberately selected by us, right now, as being representative of our hopes and fears and everyday life in lockdown.
