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.

Pupils were very lucky to get the chance to hand feed two lambs this week - how cute are they!

Elm Class pupils had the opportunity to dress up as Romans and act the part during their visit to Kent Life Museum. A great informative, fun day for all.

Just a few of the fabulous costumes our pupils wore to represent their favourite book characters in this year's World Book Day parade.

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise!

Beech class had a tour of a local castle last week down to the dungeons, along the curtain walls and up the motte of the bailey.

The ‘murder holes’ in the gatehouse seemed to strike a chord with some, the thought of boiling oil and water being poured on the plucky assailants proving pretty memorable!
