A Magical Day Out
Fri 19 Apr 2024A Magical Day Out
Year 5 had a magical day out to The Making of Harry Potter this week. We started our visit with a lesson in costume distressing, learning about how the costumes are created for the films. We then enjoyed exploring different scenes and sets from the film series, including boarding the Hogwarts Express, taking a walk down Diagon Alley and encountering Aragog in the Forbidden Forest!

Easter News
Thu 28 Mar 2024Easter Gardens
I wanted to extend a personal thank you to all our wonderful Endowed children for their Easter Garden entries. They have amazed and impressed me with their creativity, flair, imagination and skill. This is a record-breaking year with 63 entries, including Lego models, nature inspired gardens, video animations, computer generated images and dioramas with lights and moving parts. Judging this year is going to be so tricky! Winners will be announced later today. Mrs Gilbert

Wed 27 Mar 2024Hockey Award
Well done to Mariama who ended her hockey season last weekend, by being presented with a special achievement award. The award was presented by GB hockey goalie James Mazarello. Fantastic!
Good Luck to Beamo who has entered an art competition run by the Royal Academy of Art.
Title: Recycle of Life, Acrylics on recycled cardboard 360mm x 370mm
Artist Description: One day my dad came home with a new Henry vacuum cleaner. I realised a bit of packaging on it looked very much like a face, the face of an animal! So I painted it with bright, glowing colours which represent lots of different animals, each of which could be saved from more of us
recycling. Hence Hence the theme of my art is to shout out 'recycle!'

The Race to Space
Fri 22 Mar 2024The Race to Space
We enjoyed a special MATHS DAY 2024 with The Race to Space
today. Following an assembly where children learnt some of the tasks the astronauts undertake to go to space, they then had to use their maths knowledge to rank 6 different British Astronauts to find out the most suitable person to go to space.
We loved all your space themed outfits!

Poetry workshop
Fri 22 Mar 2024Poetry Workshop
Reni & Honey represented our school, alongside Sylvia and James from Starfish class, at a Schools’ Poetry workshop with local poet, CharlotteCornell. She was the winner of Canterbury Festival Poet of the Year 2021, and is a creative writer and educator. The workshop was based around this year’s National Poetry Theme ‘COUNTING’. The children explored poetry through different activities and were inspired to explore their own creative writing together through editing techniques, imagery and collage, before finishing the workshop by writing their own poems.
