Granny Crabtree’s Time Transporter
StarBurst Drama club have been recording a four-part episode podcast. The story was inspired by the children’s ideas. The first episode starts with our three protagonists discovering an extraordinary device. They are soon whisked away on an exciting adventure.
Listen to part one of the podcast here.
Both Reception classes, Red and Green, went on a school trip to Kent Life on Tuesday 18th June. Firstly, we all went onto the coach and we sang ‘Old MacDonald had a Farm’ and ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ on our way to Kent Life. We were all very excited for our school trip!
Each group took it in turns to have a workshop where we learnt loads of interesting facts about pigs, rabbits, goats, sheep, chickens and horses. We were very lucky to feed the chickens and goats. Some children even had the chance to bottle feed the goats!
Inside Cuddle Corner, we were able to have a guinea pig on our laps. We were very careful to be gentle and quiet as we didn't want to scare the animals. There was also a giant rabbit, tortoises and a chicken!
We had a brilliant day! The children enjoyed the exciting land train and had lots of fun on the play equipment. Well done Red and Green Classes for your amazing behaviour on your school trip!
On Wednesday 19th June at 9am and 2pm parents and carers were invited to South Borough Primary School’s induction day for new Reception class pupils.
The Early Years lead teacher is Mrs Hunt. The Reception teachers from September 2019 will be Mrs Gurung and Mr Blanco.
One of our guests was Mr James Johnson who is the chairperson of the school’s governing body.

This week, Year 1 classes have been exploring and learning about quarters in Maths. In English, they have been reading Zog and looking at different types of poetry such as shape poems, acrostic poems and rhyming poems. The children had a really good go at writing a shape poem about a dragon.

Last term, the Film Makers’ project was a black and white silent film entitled ‘The Silent Mystery’. Before filming (post production) the members of the club watched ‘A Trip to the Moon’ directed by Georges Méliès and other clips of vintage black and white silent films.
Inspired, the children came up with their own script, with characters such as Eris (the Villain), Mr Peanut (the Minion) and Jessica (the Heroin). The children took it turn to be the clapper loader, camera operative and director. They also acted in their short film.
After editing, the children were able to premiere their film to their peers in two assemblies. If you would like to see their amazing film please click here.
Filmmakers club is run every Thursday 3.15 to 4.30 by Cheeky George productions. Spaces are available for years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Please enquire at the school office for details.
