Wild Word Heroes - Summer Reading Challenge

Go wild for reading with the Summer Reading Challenge! For this year’s Challenge The Reading Agency has partnered with WWF to create ‘Wild World Heroes’ which will inspire children to take action for nature and the environment.

Sports Week

Sports Week: Next week (21 – 18 June) is Sports Week.   The children will be taking part in sporting games and activities throughout the week. They will have a ‘mini-sports day’ with competitive sports.  Sadly, due to Covid restrictions, we are unable to invite parents and carers to this event.  I’m sure there will be lots of photos on our school website for you to see.   Children should come to school wearing their P.E. kit every day next week.  P.E. uniform is a white polo or T- shirt and black shorts.  If the weather is cool, children can wear a plain tracksuit. Sun Protection: As the sun is so powerful at the moment, please apply sunscreen to your child before they come to school in the morning. Staff will not apply sunscreen to children.  However, parents can send in sunscreen in a named bag. Children will have to apply this themselves.  They must not share sunscreen with any other child. Please also provide your child with a named hat for when they are outside.

School Closed - Wednesday 10th February 2021

Dear parents and carers, Mr. Mills and the Trust Site Managers have been on the school site today to try clearing the snow.  In spite of extensive gritting, the ice is compacted and dangerous. There is more snow forecast for the Dover area overnight along with freezing temperatures. We have therefore had to take the regrettable decision to close the school on Wednesday to all children for health and safety reasons.  Many apologies for the inconvenience, We hope you stay safe and healthy. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, Mrs S Knight Fotheringham

School Closed - Tuesday 9th February 2021

Dear parents and carers, Mr. Mills has been on the school site today and has assessed the site as unsafe to open on Tuesday. This is mainly due to the ice and freezing conditions. There is more snow forecast for the Dover area overnight along with freezing temperatures. However, we are committed to supporting our Key Workers. If you are an NHS Frontline Critical Worker (such as a medical professional working in a hospital), and you have no other available childcare, please email the school on admin@wcliffs.dfamat.com and we will do all we can safely do to support you. The school will remain closed to all other children who are currently accessing in school provision. Many apologies for the inconvenience, We hope you stay safe and healthy. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, Mrs S Knight Fotheringham

School Closed - Monday 8th February 2021

School Closed Monday 8th February 2021. The school will be closed tomorrow Monday 8 February to ALL pupils. The site team have been monitoring the site throughout the day and given the expected weather conditions over the coming hours predicting more snow and widespread icy conditions we felt it safer to make an early decision. We do not wish anyone to make what could be difficult journeys in the morning should the weather be as predicted. This decision means that those pupils who have been attending school during lockdown as part of our key worker, vulnerable, SEN and CiC provision must stay at home tomorrow. Lessons will continue to be delivered online for all pupils in the normal way. We apologise for any inconvenience for those parents who are key workers and will do our upmost to ensure that the school is open for those groups mentioned above from Tuesday.

Super Science

Our Super Scientists from Year 6 (in the Critical Worker Bubble) completed a science experiment on 3rd February.    Each scientist write there own recount of the experiment and their observations:   This is a cool experiment we did on the 3rd of February with skittles. This demonstrates osmosis.  Osmosis happens in liquid it start for a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area. I poured water on skittles waited a few minutes. Then we start to see the colour moved from the skittles (high concentrated area) to everywhere else (the low concentrated area). Diffusion happens in a gases. Diffusion is where the particles move all around the room the same as osmosis (high concentrated area to a low concentrated area). For example, if you have a slice of cake the particles around the cake are move from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area though diffusion. By Elouise in 6A   What we did for science on the 3rd of February was amazing because we did an experiment with skittles to show osmosis. This experiment show how the colour moves form a high concentrated area (my skittles) to a low concentrated area (the empty plate). This represents how the osmosis happens in the liquid and makes the colour of the skittles move in a pattern the colour on the plate. Osmosis happens in a liquid. Diffusion happens in different gases. Diffusion is similar to osmosis as the particles travel from a high concentrated area to a low concentrated area. For example, when you spray deodorant from a can the gas enters the environment (high concentrated area) and spreads around the room (low concentrated area) until the gases is distributed out equally/evenly.   By Mason 6B
