George and Billy who are our Attendance Bears are going into retirement from today. They spend time in a class when the class wins best attendance at our weekly Achievement Assembly. In order to replace them Mrs Brown and Ms Jaived took some children from High Street with good attendance to make their replacements. The children went to Build A Bear in Bluewater to make the new Attendance Bears. They chose their clothes and one of them even has a lovely smell.

Friday 14th July saw our annual MFL day festivities. Unfortunately, the wet weather meant some of our outdoor activities were rained off but it didn't stop us having a brilliant day.
As part of their Spanish Day, Year 3 enjoyed: doing flamenco dancing; creating Picasso-style self-portraits; learning about the Spanish festival of La Tomatina festival; and discussing delicious traditional Mexican food
Year 4 enjoyed a special Spanish performance from Freshwater Theatre company plus some quizzes and Spanish languages games, followed by an afternoon of piñata making!
As part of their French day, Year 5 enjoyed: playing pétanque; learning about the Francophone world; discussing the cultural and historical significance of Bastille Day; exploring traditional sand art techniques from the island of Vanuatu; and playing some word and French languages games and quizzes.
Year 6 enjoyed: participating in activities to explore the art of mime and improv drama; debating the French laws around seculaism and laïcité; exploring the city of Paris and its famous landmarks; and also learning about the Francophone world.
