• Year 3 - NatWest MoneySense

  Thu 16 Jun 2016

  Year 3 had a fantastic opportunity this week when the children in Macaws class were visited by staff from the local branch of NatWest.  The children were asked to think about money as an expendable commodity and the Macaws were brilliant at identifying the difference between wants and needs (although there were some disagreements over the necessity of computer games!) The children also explored the costs of keeping a pet and the Macaws were very considerate when thinking about the needs of pets that they may buy. 

   

  A huge thanks to NatWest for including our school in the MoneySense for schools programme.

• The Queen's 90th Birthday Celebrations at Drapers Mills Primary Academy

  Fri 10 Jun 2016

  On Friday 10th June, the children of Drapers Mills primary Academy celebrated the Queens 90th Birthday. After all, this was a very special occasion!

   

  Children engaged in a number of creative activities in the mornings as part of the festivities. Children in the Shooting Stars rooms made scones to create a traditional English cream tea; they looked delicious.  In the afternoon, the whole school had a picnic on the field. Children joined in traditional circle games before enjoying the delicious party food provided by parents. Unfortunately, the seagulls wanted to join in too!

   

  We all then went to the playground to create a whole school human flag. A wonderful time was had by all. Even the sun shone!

  

• Infant Football Festival

  Tue 07 Jun 2016
  Congratulations to our year 2 boys who took part in the Thanet Passport Infant Football Festival today.

   

  They played 3 games, losing two (3-1 and 5-3) and drawing the other (1-1). 

   

  Our player of the tournament was Albert for is close ball control, endeavour and fantastic goal scoring ability. Everybody contributed, however, and much fun was had by all who took part.

   

  Huge thanks go to Mr Askew and Mr Stacey for taking the boys to the event.
