On Tuesday, some of Year 5 were treated to a wonderful Maths masterclass by James Austen from Tonbridge and 3 past pupils to assist him. The children worked on some problem solving tasks involving how many ways a set of numbers, and then football players, could be arranged within given restrictions. The did brilliantly and showed lots of excellent mathematical thinking. Thanks to Mr Austen and his pupils for a great morning. Alison Tripp
On Tuesday, a lucky group of Year 5s were able to visit Tonbridge School for an exciting afternoon of Science. They were welcomed to the Barton Science Centre by Mr Nick Waite, the Head of Science at Tonbridge, who gave them some idea of all the amazing things they get up to at the school. Next, they were split into two groups for two practical lab sessions in chemistry and physics. The Chemists learned about the differences between chemical and physical changes, as well as conservation of mass and chemical equations. They then tried their hands at some practical chemistry using displacement reactions, while the physicists had a go at some rocketry, creating and launching their own air-powered rockets. After a short break, they then swapped over to have an opportunity to complete their second workshop before returning to school.
Many thanks to Tonbridge and their staff for hosting us and we look forward to visiting again in future. Dave Bennett
Continuing with acrylic pens and inks, the Year 5 have been working into their Pop Art inspired comic book images on primed cradled wood canvases. Tom Johnson
🌳Year 1 had a fantastic day at Lymley Wood! 🪹
The children enjoyed the adventure playground, testing their agility on rope courses and wooden beams. They learned about habitats, foraged for materials to create their own nests, and hid them around the woodland for animals to find. After a picnic lunch and free play on the nets and mud kitchen, the day ended with roasting marshmallows, making s’mores, and playing team games.
It was a magical day outdoors.

What do you call a group of frogs? An army!
Just one of the fun facts our youngest children learned today during an exciting visit from Jaws N Claws. They met an incredible array of animals, including Nigel, the 9-year-old blue-tongued lizard, Frank and Dave, the Great African Snails, Pete, the Giant African Bullfrog, Buster and Elvis, the tree frogs, and Steve, the royal python, who could grow to an impressive 8 feet!
There were squeals, wrinkled noses, and giggles as the children got up close with these fascinating creatures. It was a brilliant and unforgettable session—thank you, Jaws N Claws!
