Congratulations to Anita in Y5 who won Standpoint award at the Topical Talk Festival 2024.  Her 'handle' was jolly-gazelle.  Please do take the time to read her essay and watch the video made by the judges from the Economist Magazine.

Well done to them both and a big thanks to Mrs Busvine for supporting the children through these wonderful discussions and Mrs Wakelin from KCSP for organising it on behalf of schools in KCSP.

Thank you!

Stewardship - Being Responsible Guardians of our World. 

The children worked in eight groups made up of members of the different school houses.  They were allocated an area of the school grounds and spent the afternoon weeding, planting, cutting back and generally tidying up our school grounds.  The aim of the afternoon was to understand how care of our environment and being out of door are all very good for our well being and mental health.  Being responsible guardians of our world is also one of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching that we have chosen to focus on.

Thank you to the Young Shakespeare Company for 17 years of outstanding performances for our school.  We love it!

Reading for pleasure is so important to our education and well being!  

Listening to stories is key to our love of learning.

As part of science week the children were asked to create their own invention for the If I were an engineer competition. They could invent anything, but generally they thought about things that would help those around them.

We are so pleased to say that this year we had some outstanding entries and have had a record amount make the finals out of all the schools in the South-East of England.

We had 8 Highly Commendended:

YR3 Alex "Automatic Pencil Grip"

YR3 Eliza "Konveyor Carrier"

YR3 Freya "Epic Speech Machine"

YR4 Camilla "Car Informer 2000"

YR4 Maks "Pain Reactor"

YR4 Jasmine "The Colourful Glasses"

YR4 Oran "Solarmatic"

YR4 Hattie  "Converter"

And 1 winner:

YR5 Winner Zavier "A Face for a Plant".

They will all go on display in an exhibition at Canterbury Christchurch University on 5th and 6th July.

Congratulations!

Well done to the children in the school cricket team who completed in the Sevenoaks festival on Monday. They were fantastic, winning the plate competition with 2 wins. Thank you to Mrs Rose for helping walk the children across and staying to cheer them on all afternoon.
