Hooray for Harvest
St. Mary's Harvest Festival - Friday 13th - not unlucky for us.
Find out about some of things we have been up to as a school lately. Here you will find blogs about a selection of activities, trips, visits and projects we've been involved in. From raising money for local and national charities we think are important to challenging ourselves with opportunities to learn new skills and further our learning. Always making sure we are having fun!
St. Mary's Harvest Festival - Friday 13th - not unlucky for us.
We love Open The Book. The parishioners from St.Mary's and Sissinghurst church come together to act out, and bring to life Bible stories. The children get to take part too.
Erika and Olivia came to see us on Wednesday 27th September. They brought with them several of their owls: short eared owls, little owl, a barn owl and an African owl. The children learnt all about them and got to see them in flight. It was really impressive seeing them fly over the children's head - without making a sound. All the children had their photographs taken with the barn owl too!
Andrew Smith - a man with a tarantula obsession - came to visit on Monday 9th October. Having been a science teacher for 22 years, he has a wealth of knowledge and a vast array of animals to share. The children met and handled several creatures, including: a bubble frog, cain toad, blue tongued lizard, tortoise, snake, cockroaches, chameleon, tarantula, giant African land snails, terrapins... the list was impressive. All the while, he taught classification, habitats, evolution... vast swathes of new language. An amazing day was had by all the children and they all learned so much. Andrew will definitely be back!
