Science Fayre Update

The Year 6 Science Fair was a huge success, all the other children and quite a few parents came along and joined in with some very exciting experiments. The excellent way that our Year 6s presented the information and helped the younger children really made me proud.

Lost Property

A reminder that any lost property not claimed by the end of the day today (Friday 27th) will be disposed of or recycled!

Happy Holiday

I can't believe we have another break from school already!

School resumes as normal on Monday 6th June, we look forward to welcoming Mrs Brierley back at this time.

Enjoy the break and let's hope the sun shines a little!

On Behalf of Helen O Grady Drama Academy....

We would like to welcome back all our students and say a huge Hello to all the new children who have joined us this term. The Summer Term is our show term so is an exciting time at the Academy.

Our Lower Primary class will be presenting the play "Pirate Joe". Pirate Joe has become much too demanding and his crew never seems to be able to have fun. So, of course, they have to come up with a way to

overthrow the captain. Oooh Arrr! Whereas our Upper Primary class and Youth Theatre will be putting on "A Score to Settle". On a very stormy day, two buses, carrying rival football supporters, break down and the only place to shelter is a big old house in the middle

of nowhere.

Classes are held here at Wrotham Road Primary School every Thursday (Lower Primary 4.00-5.00pm, Upper Primary and Youth Theatre 5.00-6.00pm). New students can come for a free trial and bring a friend too !

Ocarina Festival

I've just got back from the Ocarina Festival which was held at Shears Green Junior School.

Most of our Year 4s who have been learning Ocarina this year took part, and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

8 schools took part and all played individual pieces as well as whole group performances. Listening to 400 children play Ocarina simultaneously was quite an experience!

As always our children were perfectly behaved and did themselves and the school proud.

Thanks to Mrs Robertson for teaching them over the year, and all the other adults who went along.

Eco Car Success

Our wonderful Eco Team gave Jenson Button something to think about on Saturday when they took part in the Go Kart competition at BAE Rochester.

The team have spent a number of weeks working with Miss Robson and 'Big Wes' the engineer constructing their own battery powered cart almost entirely out of recycled materials. The team of 12 spent all day at the competition, with 6 of them racing. Given that this was their first ever entry into the competition (some schools had been competing for 9 years!), they performed exceptionally well, with Faber scoring a 2nd place in his heat and Zahra coming 3rd in hers.

Unfortunately we didn't make the final but did pick up the award for 'Best Teamwork'.

Well done all of you and thanks to Miss Robson for leading the project.

Mrs Denton

Mrs Denton commences her maternity leave in June, but unfortunately will remain signed off by her doctor on medical grounds until then, so we won't be seeing her again until she returns from her maternity leave. The good news is that she is doing well and we look forward to hearing some exciting news in the next couple of months.

In the meantime we are very fortunate to have had the services of Mrs Barmby to cover her entire absence, she will continue to cover 1D until the end of the summer term.
