Dear Parents/Carers
I want to update you on the current situation with the heating in school. There have been site visits to school by both KCC and the heating company. The school boilers are irreparable and the work to strip out the two boilers is due to start at the end of next week. The installation will then take between 4 and 5 days to complete. We do have temporary heaters in school which are keeping the school warm but we do not have any hot water.
On a much more uplifting note, yesterday fifteen girls from our school football club, run by Mrs McKeith, were extremely fortunate to meet Alessia Russo at Bearsted Football Club. Alessia Russo began her football career training at Bearsted with Coach Colin. She returned there yesterday to open the new club house. Bearsted girls’ team were there and five children from another primary school. Eastling Primary School took part in a training session with Coach Colin before meeting Alessia Russo. She answered questions, signed photographs and had her photo taken with the girls. Good Morning Britain and BBC South East were there filming and they were shown on television this morning.
I want to once again thank Coach Colin for organising this amazing opportunity for the girls.
We have a busy term ahead of us with Book Week next week filled with activities organised by Miss Waugh including Teacher Reading Swap and our resident author Mrs Davison sharing her new book, ‘Is it a Seed.’ Next week we also have parents evening where we look forward to seeing as many parents as possible and our Acorn class have their Mother’s Day Breakfast on Friday morning. The week beginning 11th March is science week and this year’s theme is ‘Time.’ Miss Earles has planned a week of exciting activities including a VR experience session for every child in the school. There is also a group of children from Oak and Willow class taking part in a Lego event at the Science Park in Sittingbourne.
The Year 6 children are off on their residential this term and there are of course a number of class educational visits. This term will end with an outdoor learning day where we will begin the day with a stay and play session with the parents and we look forward to working with Wild Classroom.
For further information please check the school weekly newsletter where Mrs Travers keeps the calendar of events updated.
Kind regards
