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! 🌍✨

🌬️ 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!

🎽☀️ Sports Day Season at East Wickham! ☀️🎽 It’s been a whirlwind of fun, energy, and teamwork here at East Wickham as we’ve celebrated Sports Days across the school over the past few weeks! We kicked things off with Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, where the children embraced new events with enthusiasm and incredible sportsmanship - cheering each other on and giving every activity their all. After missing out last year due to the weather, it was fantastic to see them shine! Next up, Year 5 and 6 took to the field and wowed us all with their speed, skill and determination. They really showed the younger years how it’s done! 🏃♀️💨 We were so lucky that the sun stayed out and the day ended with big smiles all around. Nursery then had their moment to shine! With a variety of races and plenty of cheering from proud adults, they had the best time showing off all they can do! 🌟 Finally, we wrapped up our Sports Days with Year 3 and 4, who gave every event their best effort - and we’re pretty sure a few records might’ve been broken too even in the scorching sun! 💪🏽👏 We’re incredibly proud of all the children for their fantastic efforts, support for one another and enthusiasm throughout. A huge thank you to all the staff and our amazing Year 4 and 6 helpers for making sure each day ran smoothly and left everyone smiling. The results are in: KS1 Winners = Danson 💙 Year 3 & 4 Winners = Danson 💙 Year 5 & 6 Winners = Woodlands 💛 Our overall EWPA Winners for 2025 = Danson 💙 #EastWickhamSportsDay #Teamwork #PrimarySchoolSpirit

Wow! What an amazing two weeks we have had at East Wickham! Our Dream Big Fortnight was an incredible success, filled with inspiration and enthusiasm for our students. We kicked off this exciting event with the children dressing up as what they aspire to be in the future. The corridors came alive with an array of vibrant costumes representing a multitude of professions – from astronauts to builders, vets to doctors – the creativity was simply astounding! As the first week unfolded, we welcomed an impressive line-up of guest speakers who graciously shared their expertise and experiences with our children. Our visitors included an RAF technician, a proud member of the GB shooting team and an A&E nurse. Not to mention, we had not one, but two accountants in the school, alongside a commercial director who works across the UK and Nordics. The diversity of careers continued with a Mental Health nurse, a Pilot, an Occupational Therapist, an office manager from a recycling company, a research scientist, an IT engineer, and even a fire fighter. We were also thrilled to host a visit from the Woodlands Trust, adding an enriching perspective on environmental conservation. But the excitement didn’t stop there! This week brought another incredible array of professionals to inspire our young minds. We were delighted to welcome a senior care co-ordinator, a support worker for adults with disabilities, and a brilliant Digital Designer. Our highlight included a West End actor who brought a touch of theatre to the session! We also had the honour of hosting a Barrister, as well as a talented baker and pastry chef, a skilled hairdresser, and an Architect. Further sessions featured a Geologist, a Product Manager in advertising, a passionate football coach and even a Gillingham football player! To add to the joy, we were joined by teachers and a horse rider, including the beloved Frank the horse! As the week progressed, excitement continued with special guests such as the Principal Power Engineer for Transport for London, a Project Manager, a former female Millwall football player and a Taekwondo master. Our final days included visits from a Counsellor and Psychotherapist, a vet, a remarkable Rocket Scientist, a BBC TV Producer, a Biomaterials Researcher, an Artist, a dedicated Police Constable, members from the Terrestrial Support Group, an Entrepreneur, a Lego creator and a delightful cook. Every child, from Reception to Year 6, engaged with at least one of these remarkable occupations, opening their eyes to the possibilities that await them. Also in our commitment to fostering aspiration, a group of science enthusiasts or with an interest in the medical profession, were invited to King’s College, where they participated in experiments and explored the campus. They had the unique opportunity to take photos using a Scanning Electron Microscope - can you guess what they were observing? We hope this fortnight has sparked excitement and enthusiasm in your children as they share their experiences with you. A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who generously took the time to inspire our children. We look forward to making Dream Big Fortnight an annual event, expanding our children’s horizons and nurturing their aspirations for a bright future!

Year 5 had a fantastic day, stepping back in time at the British Museum. They have explored the Kingdom of Ancient Benin (modern day Nigeria) for many weeks now and have debated whether or not we (Britain) should return the stolen bronze artefacts. We were fortunate enough to see these incredible pieces of history in real life on display in the Africa exhibit and loved telling our adults all the knowledge we have gained in our History lessons! We even managed to explore other Ancient Civilisations: Romans, Greeks and Vikings in other exhibits! It is sure to say, the children loved this experience and impressed us all with all the learning they have retained. It was amazing to see the learning come to life for our children 🖼️🏛️🇧🇯🌍🔎 #ancientBenin #theBritishMuseum #History #oneTKATfamily
