Congratulations to our two teams who took part in the Athletics Competition held at the Julie Rose Stadium in Ashford. Excellent placing this year and as always, fantastic displays not only of talent and effort but also of sportsmanship. More news about this next week. On Wednesday we had our Class Photos taken. Information on how to order these will be sent home once the proofs arrive. Please order promptly to ensure delivery before the end of term. Thursday Year 3 enjoyed their History Day on The Stone Age. The class enjoyed re-enacting hunting, crawling through mining tunnels and acting out a Celtic myth. Take a look at our Twitter feed for some photos of their adventures! Head’s Lines Today Year 6 visited the Open Day at The Police College where they attended workshops and activities that promoted the vital and diverse role of policing across the county, from training the officers through to receiving and responding to emergency calls. It also highlighted how the police work with partners to deal with crime and disorder, protect the public from harm, and keep Kent safe. During the visit, pupils were able to meet officers, watch police teams in action and take part in activities and demonstrations. There was a large range of interactive displays that sought to engage the children around some of the key challenges they may face as they move into their next stage of development, involving online safety, road safety, alcohol and drug awareness.
