The circus came to town today as we held our very own Coronation Carnival. The school was a sea of red, white and blue. The children had a brilliant time with Circus Allstars, Whitstable Whippy ice-creams, popcorn and those children having school dinners enjoyed a special coronation lunch including mini Victoria sponges for pudding!
Well done to Mrs Cutts for organising such a brilliant day, we hope the children enjoyed themselves.

Endowed World Book Day
We had a fantastic World Book Day and loved seeing all of your amazing animal print clothes, face-painting and the amazing creative costumes some of you made!
The Year 6 children read with the Year 3 children, which was lovely. Unfortunately, we were let down by the dance workshop who were due in but well done to Mrs Blinston-Jones and the amazing Year 6 children who helped us organise our own dance workshops for everyone - who needs professionals! Thank you to all of the families who joined us for the afternoon picnic. We hope you all had a lovely time.

PTFA Christmas Shop
The school was full of festive fun on Thursday for the amazing PTFA Christmas shop. Children were able to buy gifts for family members and then wrap and add name tags in their classes.
Thank you to the PTFA for all their hard work in organising this lovely day for the children, and for everyone who donated gifts. They really love being able to pick out special gifts by themselves to surprise family with.
DISCO FEVER!
A massive THANK YOU to our wonderful PTFA who unleashed the glitter and sparkles on Thursday night. The children had a brilliant time dancing to the latest tunes and lots of great prizes for those who won the spot dance competitions.
As well as the PTFA, thank you to all the staff who volunteered to help, the children couldn't enjoy such wonderful evening without you all.

Word Refugee Day
What is World Refugee Day?
World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe. It falls each year on June 20th and celebrates the strength and courage of people who have been forced to flee their home country to escape conflict or persecution. World Refugee Day is an occasion to build empathy and understanding for their plight and to recognize their resilience in rebuilding their lives.
This year, the focus will be on the right to seek safety. Every person on this planet has a right to seek safety – whoever they are, wherever they come from and whenever they are forced to flee.
Our Support
Collective Worship
Our Ambassadors (Noah, Lily, Edith, Cleo, Clara & Noah) led the school in collective worship about World Refugee Day to bring awareness to the plight of displaced humans around the globe.
The ambassadors helped us all to think about the difficulties faced by thousands of people around the world. We reflected on and commemorated the strength and resilience that refugees display during the hardest of times.
It was an opportunity for us to think about human rights in the face of a global crisis and to consider how we can support refugees especially those from Ukraine.
The Ambassadors also arranged a cake sale to raise funds. With the help of Upper School who contributed with homemade and shop bought cakes – it was the largest cake sale the Endowed has ever seen!
Ukrainian Crisis
To support the Ukrainian crisis all the children participated with Upper School wearing Blue and Lower School wearing Yellow. After lunch the whole school ventured into the playground to create the Ukrainian Flag. We would like to thank the brilliant Mr Fisk who took this amazing aerial photograph.

Welcome to Wonderland
World Book Day
On Thursday 3rd March we had our whole school World Book Day. This year our theme was Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Each class came in their finest fancy dress as one of the characters then jumping down the rabbit hole into our transformed school. We welcomed in a production company who entertained the children through their energetic and highly engaging performances throughout the day. Then at 2pm we invited our Endowed families in to have a wonderful tea party!
