Oak class are enjoying all the activities at Carroty wood. The sun is shining for them too!

Twenty pupils from school took part in the cross-country races at Chiddingstone last Tuesday. It was a great afternoon of athletic endeavour with all the children persevering to complete their races. Well done Len, who won the Y5 and 6 boys’ race. Well done to the Year 5/6 Boys team who came third in their team race: lovely to come back to school with some silverware. Many thanks to Godfrey Pain, Chloe Archard, Inha Melnykova, Lorna Townsend and Fran Lawton who helped marshall the event: this would not have run so smoothly without your help. It is lovely that the Fordcombe community can support sport in local schools like this: thank you.

Pupils from Years 5 and 6 visited Sevenoaks School to take part in an athletics tournament last week. The children did an amazing job. Well done to Albie for winning a silver medal in the Boys 100m race. We had a great time – all the pupils performed really well against some great athletes from other schools. Many thanks to those parents that came to support.

10 pupils from Years 2 and 3 recently went to Sevenoaks School to undertake running, throwing and jumping activities around the track. A great afternoon of activity and for all of the children it was the first time they had run around a proper track. Well done to Amy and Finn who ran the 600m race: great perseverance and resilience to finish this race. Thank you to the parents who ferried the children
