🚀 Discovery Park Science Jubilee! 🔬 Recently our Year 6 students headed to Discovery Park in Sandwich for an incredible day of exploration at the annual STEM Jamboree! This fantastic event transformed the science and business park into a bustling hub of hands-on learning, bringing together young people, local businesses, and universities. Organised by the STEM Hub at Canterbury Christ Church University, the event aims to show students how STEM plays a part in everyday life and inspire them to consider exciting future studies and careers. Our students experienced: 💥 Liquid Nitrogen Show: Watching mind-blowing, freezing-cold wonders in a live demonstration. ⚡ 3 Hands-On Workshops: Conducting practical scientific experiments, tackling team problem-solving challenges and learning exactly how generators are built and how they create electricity. It was an unforgettable morning filled with curiosity and big ideas. We definitely have some future scientists and engineers in our ranks! 🌟🎓 Visit our website for more pictures: https://www.newlands-tkat.org/news-dates/news/item/43/science-jubilee-2026

With further heatwaves expected, more young people are heading to the water to cool off. Tragically, this brings a sharp rise in drownings. The RNLI have shared this video that it may be useful to watch with your children. WATER SAFETY CODE The most powerful messages you can share with your children are: 📍Stop and think. 📍Stay together with a friend or family member. 📍If you’re in trouble in the water, Float to Live. 📍Call 999 or 112 if you see someone else in trouble in the water. Practice floating and please choose safer, supervised locations like lifeguarded beaches.

This term, years R to 6 enjoyed a whole day of Science! From finding out about fossils, testing parachutes and building vehicles to research enquiries, everyone was trying to find the answers to a Big Question. 🎉 Leading on from this, 12 children were chosen to attend the Great Science Share at Sandwich Discovery Park. 🎉 They took their experiments, planning and results to demonstrate them to other schools from across the region. They also had to observe others' learning and ask Scientific questions to find out what they could. 🤩 It was such an enjoyable morning and the children did Newlands proud with their exceptional behaviour and enthusiasm.

2026: The Year of Reading To celebrate the 'Year of Reading', the pupils of Newlands have taken part in different reading activities over the year. During May, the children formed teams and used their effective reading skills to complete a scavenger hunt. The children all enjoyed the challenge and demonstrated brilliant teamwork by working together to make inferences from the clues they were given.

On Wednesday 20th May, 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. After the workshop, the children enjoyed exploring the wildlife park and seeing all the wonderful animals. The class made Miss Warner proud with their exceptional behaviour! More photos can be found on our website: https://www.newlands-tkat.org/news-dates/news/item/41/wingham-2026

Year 6 had a fantastic time participating in an All Rise legal workshop funded by Feagre Drinker Law firm! ⚖ Throughout the day, the children learnt all about laws in the United Kingdom, discussed and created their own laws to share with the group and even took part in an exciting trial of Goldilocks. 🐻 The children had different roles in the trial: judge, prosecution lawyer, defence lawyer, witnesses, court clerk, police officer, court artist, court reporter, jurors and members of the public gallery. The workshop was very engaging, interactive, and educational and the children thoroughly enjoyed every moment while learning so much about laws, courts, and trials.
