We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Ethelbert Road Primary School visit us today at the home with their Year 6 pupils, who were amazing with our residents ❤️ an absolute asset to the school! And so very polite!

They spoke to the home about what they had learnt during their WW2 project and we were amazed at the knowledge they had. Our residents shared their own experiences and stories and it was something special watching two very different generations come together as one.

We can't thank you enough for coming to see us and we can't wait to have you back with your choir in April, residents are already looking forward to it 😁

Captain Wonderweb

Thu 28 Mar 2024

Ethelbert Road jetted off on an exciting adventure yesterday with Captain Wonderweb and the somewhat trusty crew as they explore the distant stars and, more importantly, what makes for safe web surfing. In this adventure, we learnt all about internet safety, delivered in a fun and colourful package. Captain Wonderweb was an entertaining show with a crucial message for children growing up in the digital age.

Pen Pals from Valencia, Spain

Wed 27 Mar 2024

We are so excited that we now have a link established with a Spanish school in Valencia, Spain. Year 4, 5 and 6 will write to their pen pal in Spanish and English, in order to practise their Spanish and to help their pen pal to practise their English.

We have looked at some of their photos of the Valencian festival "Las Fallas" and will write our replies to their fantastic letters in term 5. We will use our Spanish vocabulary to tell them all about ourselves and what there is to see and do in Faversham.

Royal Shakespeare Company Schools Association Programme

Wed 27 Mar 2024

Our Shakespeare Club were very lucky to have a workshop delivered by Callum from The Marlowe Theatre. He taught the children some amazing movement and characteristic skills and was super impressed when they showed him their scene from Hamlet. We are so proud to be an associate school of the RSC and we can't wait to perform our scene in Hamlet at The Marlowe Theatre in June.

With links between creativity and mental health already well-established, research also shows that young people who study creative subjects are more likely to do well at school, be more employable and become more active, engaged citizens.
