Since the last newsletter, we have had much to celebrate at our school. We are delighted to announce that our Year 5 team secured an impressive second place in the Trust Y5 Maths competition. Additionally, our cricket team has demonstrated exceptional skill and sportsmanship by winning both the LAT competition and the Weald of Kent Cup competition. Well done to all of the children involved in these events.
On Tuesday, our Year 6 children presented their end-of-year production, 'School of Pop'. It was a truly fantastic performance, and the children should feel extremely proud of their efforts. Their confidence on stage was remarkable, and the quality of their singing was outstanding.
A special highlight of this week was our first-ever 'Create Day', which took place on Wednesday. During this enriching experience, the children had the opportunity to explore a variety of music, art, and dance activities. It was truly wonderful to witness the creativity and enthusiasm displayed by the children throughout the day. Thank you to Mrs Mason, Mrs Williams, and Miss Brown for organising this event.
As we move into our final week of the year, we'd like to say a huge well done to all of the children for their fantastic efforts this year. The staff have all worked so hard to make this a successful year for the children and their enjoyment in their learning is what shines through when you speak with them and look around the school.
Finally, we would like to thank you for your continued support. Wishing you all a lovely weekend ahead and a great summer holiday when it arrives.
