Ospringe Workshop
Wed 05 Jul 2023Today, year 4 visited Ospringe to explore how it has changed over the past few hundred years, including identifying signs of the stream that used to run through the area. Mr Bennett delivered a workshop with many before and after photographs that fascinated us all. We conducted some fieldwork in the meadow, plotted key features on maps and recreated some old photos! Thank you so much to Mr Bennett for helping to organise an interesting outing and to our staff and volunteers for enabling the event to go ahead.

Young Eco Engineers Race Day
Wed 05 Jul 2023On Saturday 1st July six children from Year 5 represented their year and ERPS at the MEBP Young Eco Engineers Race day. The team, 'The Towering Tacos', raced their go-cart against other participating schools at the Borg Warner site in Gillingham. It was an amazing day with some very exciting races!
All of Year 5 were involved in building the go-cart during our school's STEM week. They also designed the bodywork and decided on the team name. As part of the project, the children had to complete a workbook that documented their progress building the go-cart and other investigations they carried out to answer set questions (relating to, levers, gears, friction, aerodynamics, batteries, circuits, energy transfer, sustainability and recycling).
At the event day Year 5 'The Towering Tacos' won 'Best Workbook'. Congratulations to all of Year 5 for their hard work. A big thank you to Mrs Nock, Mr Adkins and Mrs Bell for giving up their Saturday to support this event and all their hard work. A special thank you to Mrs Nock for putting the workbook together.

Kent Police Day
Wed 05 Jul 2023Our Year 6 children enjoyed a school trip to the Kent Police Open Day. The children enjoyed watching live demonstrations where they saw police officers in action, including pursuits and arrests. A particular favourite, was the dog unit display where the children saw police dogs in action too! The children also had fun visiting the 'firing range' unit and trying on police fire arms kit which was extremely heavy!
