What an exciting afternoon we had at East Wickham Wanderers on Friday! The families dove into creativity, crafting wonderful nature hats and designing their very own hanging birds. We brought out the water colours and the children created stunning pictures that truly captured the beauty of our amazing forest area. Don't forget, we have our final session for this academic year just around the corner! If you'd like to join your child/ children for an afternoon immersed in nature, be sure to sign up, as there are limited spaces available. We can't wait to see you all there for one last adventure! 🌳🎨🌈 #EastWickhamWanderers #oneTKATfamily #OutdoorLearning

🎽☀️ 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

Belated VE day post🇬🇧 At East Wickham, we celebrated 80 years since the end of World War II. The children learnt about the significance and impact of the war and we remembered the heroes who served for us and still serve today. What a privilege it is to be able to celebrate such a landmark and we have enjoyed how united we have been in honouring past and present heroes of war. ❤️🤍💙 #oneTKATfamily #VEDay #veday80thanniversary

Year 5 have been absolutely buzzing with creativity over the last few days! From crafting fabulous Picasso-inspired masks 🎭 to stepping into the shoes of fashion designers 👗, our young artists have truly outdone themselves. They even turned ordinary black bags into stunning outfits—talk about creativity! The adventure didn’t stop there. Our budding explorers ventured on a delightful nature walk 🍃, collecting treasures to create their very own nature mobile, connecting with the beautiful outdoors. Yesterday afternoon was all about fun and teamwork! The children enjoyed making charm bracelets, decorating delicious biscuits 🍪, and participating in some energetic sports activities. We couldn't be prouder of their imaginative spirit and enthusiasm! Well done, everyone! 👏
