Last week, some of our Year 3 and Year 4 children were given the opportunity to represent White Cliffs Primary and Nursery School at Betteshanger Sports Club where they competed in a Rapid Cricket festival. The games were not scored but the children took part in 5 matches, played really well, and showcased their batting and fielding skills. They worked tremendously hard as a team and were thoroughly exhausted by the end!  

We like to move it move it! What a brilliant start to our week! Bounce Beyond HQ got our bodies moving and our heart rates up! All part of our White Cliffs Sports Month.   https://youtube.com/shorts/TeYnfoUPqF0?feature=share

Max from Kent Fire and Rescue Service visited White Cliffs today. He taught the children about how to keep themselves safe around fire and how to call for help in an emergency.  

The Fledglings class paid a visit to Vista Twisters to work on their gymnastics skills. They had a blast practicing and improving their moves.   It was amazing to see the children getting stuck in and trying new things. Their absolute favourite part of the day was definitely rolling down the wedge like little experts - the roly polies were a big hit!  

We had an exciting start to Term 6, as Kent Music with their roadshow, Bach to the Future, led our first assembly. The children enjoyed listening to a variety of different types of music.

In Science this term, Year 4 have been learning about sound. The children created their very own ear defenders, exploring which materials reduced the level of noise before testing them at their very own rock concert with Hall and Jones. Great fun was had by all!

Today the children in Year 3, the Butterfly and Dragonfly class visited Sandwich Bird Observatory. They learnt about the different insects living in this beautiful conservation area. The children were taught about how to protect the delicate balance of wildlife. The amazing staff and volunteers planned some amazing activities and brought learning to life.  The children had lots to share when they returned to school: Alby- It was very fascinating to learn about the habitats of different species like grass snakes and moles. Oscar- I liked the slow worms because they looked like a snake. Lucian- I really liked seeing the lizard George- I enjoyed learning about the wildflowers. Eva- I liked finding out new things and seeing animals I've never seen before in their habitats. Kyle- Flowers have pretty petals so bees and other animals can spot them to pollinate them. Kynan- I liked doing the challenges because they were interesting Jacob- I caught three cardinal beetles! Freddie- So I found out a fact about buttercups, some are poisonous and they trick animals into eating them. Nancy- I enjoyed everything!    

Year 4 had a brilliant time on Tuesday 21st May at their ‘Roman Day’. The children made shields; created mosaic pictures and wrote a banquet invite (in Latin). They learnt Roman chants and held a Roman Banquet.

On Tuesday 30th April 2024, our Head Boy, Head Girl, their Deputies and our School Council took a trip to London to visit the Houses of Parliament! They had a tour of The Houses of Parliament, where they were able to go into the House of Lords and watch a debate in the House of Commons. Then to finish their day, they participated in a workshop making decisions as a democracy and learning about the Suffragettes.
