The sun shone, it was dry and everyone had a smile on their face throughout. Super to see each child moving down the track, all focused on balancing bean bags or balls on bats and to see so many parents involved with the parents race—a great way to finish the event.  Well done to all the Year 6 pupils who took their turn to douse the adults at the end of the track with the Fordcombe traditional ‘Waiter Race’. Thank you to all those that came and made this such a special day after two years where it had disappeared from the school calendar. It’s good to be back!

A very tired Oak class come to the end of a wonderful week . 

A brilliant couple of days... 

A fantastic Tuesday at Carroty Wood... we've been kept busy with some exciting, challenging and muddy activities. We've had to persevere, respect, forgive and hope to complete everything, but we've shown our Fordcombe values in abundance. 

Seventeen pupils from the choir, led by Mrs Hughes and Mrs Evans kicked off the village festival on the cricket pitch on Saturday. Well done to all those that took part. The singing, as ever, was absolutely fantastic.

Year 6 pupils were put through their paces last week with the team from Kent County Council. Starting on the playground, pupils got to grips with basic signaling and maneuver, before going out on the roads to earn their Level 1 and Level 2 Cycling Proficiency badges. Well done to all.

Great to have an artist in school to lead Oak class in creating some Islamic art. Angles, circles and precision are very important. It was interesting to see the art coming together through the use of compasses and rulers.

Our first project at art club this term was to design and make a ‘Koinobori’ kite inspired by Japanese Children’s Day on 5th May. 

When parents hang a Koinobori flag they make a wish for children to be strong and healthy, and to lead happy lives. Koinobori are usually hung on a pole in family groups, with the dad at the top and youngest child at the bottom. Each fish has it’s own unique colour and pattern.

We set our creative art clubbers the task of designing their own carp kites with some fantastic results. We can’t wait to see what else they create this term.
