Last week Minnis Bay celebrated Diversity Week by learning about the Japanese festival Um Ni Ho (Ocean Day). Firstly, the children learned about Japanese culture, identifying the capital, key clothing Japanese people wear and traditional food they eat. Then the children focused on learning about the Ocean; what it is, how it is important it is, why we need to look after it and how we can help protect it. The children made posters, illustrating the message ‘save our oceans’, and then participated in their own ‘clean up’ around the forest school area. Great work Minnis Bay! #TeamNewlands

St Mildred's Bay have been working really hard this term, so Mr Foley gave them a reward day to cool off from the heat. We had great fun in the sensory garden with some water play. Splashing in the pool, going down the slide, playing some water twister and getting Mr Foley with water balloons (they had very good aim!) Mr Foley got his own back though with his super soaker! Everybody loved it and had a wet but cool afternoon!

At the end of Term 5 all of the children in Years 1-6 at Newlands took part in Science Day, where children were given the opportunity to conduct a Scientific Enquiry based around a topic or theme. They had to use their teamwork skills, create their own Big Question, make hypotheses and test these using equipment. They then had to record their findings in a clear and concise way using tables, graphs and written responses. The children really engaged with this and came up with some incredible work! On Tuesday 17th June 13 children from across the school were chosen to go to Sandwich Discovery Park to display their work and demonstrate their experiments to other schools in the region, as part of the Great Science Share 10 year celebration with STEM. They spoke confidently, asked many questions and provided great Scientific explanations to others. Their behaviour was impeccable and they made us very proud. #TeamNewlands

Mr and Mrs Musgrove have been working towards the school achieving the next green tree award having received the bronze award last year. ⭐️ We do this by collecting points for various activities and uploading them to the Woodland Trust website. This term Year 1 and 2 planted 2 new trees as part of their Geography topic and St. Mildred's Bay creating Forest Friends. 🌳 These activities have allowed us to reach a total of 12 points, succeeding the 10 points needed to be awarded the Silver Green Tree award! We are 3 points away from Gold. 🥉🥈🥇 Can we achieve it before the end of the year? Watch this space!

Last term, Minnis Bay thoroughly enjoyed a trip to Wingham Wildlife Park. The children were very fortunate and enjoyed learning about how animals are adapted to survive, in a fantastic workshop. The class even got to design their own unique animals with a variety of adaptations. The class made Miss Warner proud with their exceptional behaviour, as they explored all the different species from the noisy otters to the tall giraffes.

Newlands Primary School is proud to announce that we have recently supported a school in Nigeria by donating a collection of our unused books. As a community, we believe in the power of education and are deeply committed to helping those less fortunate than ourselves. It brings us great joy to know that these books will have a lasting impact on the lives of children who might not otherwise have access to such resources. Sister Ann, who works closely with the school in Nigeria, expressed her heartfelt gratitude, saying, "These books will open opportunities for our children and spark a dream in them, so thank you so much!" Her words remind us of the profound difference a simple donation can make, helping to inspire young minds and ignite a passion for learning. At Newlands Primary, we understand that education is a key to unlocking potential, and we are honored to play a part in providing these children with the tools they need to succeed. This act of kindness is a reflection of the values we hold dear, and we hope that this donation will continue to foster a love of reading and learning for years to come.

This term the Year 5s and 6s have been participating in a Netball Club preparing them for last Saturday's Thanet Juniors Netball Tournament. The children have been able to develop their skills and knowledge of the game through the club, and their progress shone through during the tournament. The team made Newlands proud as they upheld great sportsmanship and determination to achieve success in all of their games. There were moments of fantastic individual success as shown by Isla, Hayden, Lexi and Stanley all achieving the 'Star Player' awards throughout the tournament. In particular Stanley's impeccable defence meant that he won our overall star player. Hayden and Tommy worked triumphantly in the shooting competition, managing to score 7 goals in 2 minutes. Overall the entire team played extremely well, and Miss Warner and Mrs Musgrove were very proud to have been on the side-lines supporting the team.
