Year 6 Trip to The Clink Museum! Year 6 had a fantastic day out last Wednesday visiting The Clink Museum as part of our History topic on Crime and Punishment. The children had great fun learning about life in one of England’s oldest prisons - it was both fascinating and informative! We also made the most of being in London by taking in the sights along the River Thames, spotting the Globe Theatre and even fitting in a visit to the Tate Modern, where we explored a sensory, immersive art exhibition. A brilliant day of learning and discovery for everyone! 👏🚌📚

Our Environment Caretakers have done an amazing job this year, raising awareness about turning off lights, recycling, and shutting off taps when not in use! To celebrate their efforts, we embarked on an exciting journey to East Wickham open space for a litter-picking adventure. The children were fantastic; they listened carefully to Mrs Lewis's safety talk and showed great enthusiasm! In just 40 minutes, they couldn't believe how much litter they collected! Many expressed a desire to continue this valuable work with their families. If you’re interested in becoming an Environment Caretaker next year, keep an eye out for application forms in September! 🌍✨

We had a wonderful last session of the year at East Wickham Wanderers! 🎉 The children and their families had an amazing time collecting treasures to create beautiful name tags. They thoroughly enjoyed crafting hanging insects, fashioning nature crowns and designing their very own photo frames. ❤️ We are excited to welcome many more of you back next year! Please keep an eye out for a new family art workshop coming in the Autumn term. We can’t wait to see what everyone creates next! 🌟 #eastwickhamwanderers #familytime #parentalengagement #outdoorlearning

🌬️ Exciting STEM Workshop: Wind Turbines! 🌪️ This week, our young inventors embarked on an amazing STEM workshop all about the fascinating world of wind turbines! 🛠️💡 They were captivated as they listened to an engaging talk about how these incredible structures work and the vital role they play in renewable energy. But that’s not all! Each child had the opportunity to put their knowledge to the test by crafting their very own wind turbines! 🎡✨ One of the highlights of the day was using a VR machine that transported our budding scientists high up a virtual wind turbine! The looks of awe and wonder on their faces truly were priceless as they gained a first-hand sense of the colossal size of these engineering marvels. 🌍🔍 At our school, we’re not just teaching about science; we’re inspiring the next generation to think critically and creatively about our planet’s future. 🌿💚 Stay tuned for more exciting workshops! STEM #WindTurbines #FutureInventors #RenewableEnergy #Education #Inspiration #Innovation Here’s to fostering the curiosity of our little learners! 🚀👩🔬👨🔬

Year 3 had great fun this morning putting their DT project planning into practice! We really enjoyed making our pan con tomate - a delicious appetiser from Spain. We set up various stations, including a very productive tomato pulping table, working together as a team. At the end, we evaluated our creations with a taste test. Needles to say, we passed with flying colours!
