🎪 A huge thank you to all of our families who joined us for the circus yesterday evening! We hope you enjoyed the show, even if it was a little warm! ☀️

A special thank you also goes to our amazing staff, who worked so hard to organise and support the event for our wonderful families. Your time, energy and dedication are truly appreciated. 💛

We’re delighted to share that we have raised more money for our children - a fantastic achievement for our school community! 🙌

Have a great weekend, everyone!

🌟 Here are some fantastic photos from the second week of Dream Big Fortnight! 🌟 We had an incredible range of careers showcased, including the talented Matt Ponting, an amazing illustrator who works with Bow Arts, who spent the day inspiring our budding artists and designers. 🎨✨

🌟 We have just wrapped up our spectacular Dream Big Fortnight and what a wonderful two weeks it has been! The children have had so many exciting opportunities to listen to different visitors, with many speakers linked to the careers they expressed interest in back in April and May. Some children even explored other occupations, broadening their horizons and considering even more possible career paths for the future.
Over the fortnight, we welcomed more than 40 different occupations into school, giving the children fantastic insights into the world of work. A huge thank you to all our wonderful parents and carers who gave up their time to speak to the children. We are so grateful for your support! 🙏
This year, we were delighted to offer experiences beyond the classroom. A highlight was our visit to AH Academy, where the children enjoyed having their hair styled and even had a go at styling others’ hair too! It was a brilliant hands-on experience that sparked lots of interest and conversation. 💇💇 We also had a group of children who are interested in a career in sport and they were able to spend the afternoon at TwistFizz in Danson.
Over the next couple of days, your child/ren will come home with a “Dream Big to become a …” sheet, based on one of the careers they hope to pursue when they are older. This sheet includes advice about the skills they may need, ideas for things they can do now and links to local groups or places they may wish to visit.
Of course, children’s ideas and ambitions will change over time and that is part of the journey. We hope they feel inspired by our amazing visitors and begin to see just how many exciting possibilities are out there!
Enjoy a little taster of Dream Big Fortnight with these pictures from Week 1! 📸

What a fantastic day our Year 6 children had at Chessington World of Adventures last week as part of our Super Summer Trips! 🎢🌟
With glorious sunshine all day, the children enjoyed an unforgettable trip filled with excitement, laughter and plenty of adventure. 🔆
We were incredibly proud of all the children, especially those who showed real bravery by facing their fears and taking on some of the fastest rollercoasters! 🎢Their courage, resilience and willingness to challenge themselves was amazing to see.
It was wonderful to watch everyone making memories, supporting one another and having such a brilliant time together. A truly fantastic day had by all! 🎢🌟

Back in May, most of Year 5 headed down to Tonbridge for East Wickham's first ever Bushcraft experience. We camped over night from Monday to Wednesday in tents in the wood and had an amazing time despite the unfortunate weather. We built fires, cooked delicious food, watched a salmon be gutted and prepared, built shelters, learned to camouflage, whittled wood, made bracelets and so much more. We are so grateful for the experience and learned some very valuable life lessons.

🌟 Only 1 week to go until our Dream Big Fortnight! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that we have some amazing visitors lined up to inspire our children over the next two weeks. A huge thank you to everyone who has kindly volunteered their time to come in and share their experiences! 🙌

As a reminder, on Monday 29th June, we invite all children to come to school dressed as what they want to be when they grow up! Let’s celebrate their dreams together! 🎉

☀️🏃‍♂️🏅 What a fantastic sporting end to the week! 🏅🏃‍♀️☀️

We finished the week with our Reception, KS1 and KS2 Sports Day sessions and the sunshine certainly decided to make an appearance! 🌞

Across all three days, the children were absolutely brilliant. They demonstrated incredible teamwork, passion and resilience in every event, with plenty of healthy competition along the way. From record-breaking javelin throws to impressive balancing skills in the egg and spoon races, there were so many moments to celebrate!

We even witnessed some photo-finish races that were so close we had VAR on standby to help decide the winners! 📸🏁

Most importantly, every child gave their best effort, cheered on their teammates and showed excellent sportsmanship throughout.

A huge thank you to all the families and friends who came along to support and encourage the children. Your enthusiasm helped make the events even more special.

Well done to everyone involved – we are incredibly proud of you all! 👏🎉

⚾☀️ What a fantastic afternoon for our third and final Year 5 PE Initiative event! ☀️⚾
In the glorious sunshine, our children had the opportunity to learn and develop their baseball skills, trying their hand at pitching, batting and fielding. They showed incredible teamwork throughout the afternoon and even joined forces with children from other schools to compete in some exciting games!
There were plenty of impressive home runs, some brilliant catches from fielders and even a daring slide to the base before the fielder could make the play! 🏃💨⚾
We are so proud of every single child. They gave 100% effort, showed fantastic determination and resilience and kept going despite the very hot weather and even a few injuries along the way.
To top off a wonderful event, East Wickham was proudly awarded the Respect Recognition for demonstrating outstanding sportsmanship, teamwork and positive attitudes throughout the day. 🌟
Well done, Year 5 – you represented our school brilliantly and should be very proud of yourselves! A big thank you once again to Bexley School Games and their PE Leaders for a great event. 💙👏

On Tuesday, nine Year 6 pupils with an interest in pursuing a career in science or engineering, visited King's College London for an exciting and educational day of scientific discovery.

The visit began with a fascinating workshop exploring how light behaves in different liquids. We learned that a glass thermometer becomes almost invisible when placed in glycerine because light bends by the same amount as it passes through both the liquid and the glass. This demonstrated how scientists use the properties of light to investigate and explain the world around us.

We then had the opportunity to see how scientists use advanced microscopes in their research. Using this sophisticated equipment, each pupil was able to capture an image of a specimen, giving us a valuable insight into the work carried out in modern laboratories.

After lunch, we took part in a hands-on science experiment and had the chance to ask a wide range of questions. The scientists were extremely knowledgeable and provided detailed answers, helping us to deepen our understanding of scientific concepts and careers in science.

Overall, the visit was both enjoyable and inspiring. We learned many interesting facts, developed our scientific knowledge and gained a greater appreciation of the exciting opportunities that a future in science can offer.
