Welcome to Northdown Primary School

ACE x Safeguarding Ambassadors Road Safety 📣 The ACE team and Northdown’s Safeguarding Ambassadors are uniting to promote the importance of the zebra crossing on Millmead Road. ⚠️ It has been noted that parents will often cross the road adjacent to the school gate instead of walking the short distance to use the zebra crossing. Millmead Road is a busy access route for cars, and it has been felt that we are not keeping our community safe, therefore our Safeguarding Ambassadors embarked on a project to highlight the importance of road safety.

The Nursery and Reception children demonstrated our core value of harmony week by working and playing collaboratively in the garden. The children are really making the most of the better weather. 🌞

The Reception children thoroughly enjoyed having their healthy snack outdoors last week. Lately the class have been discussing healthy eating as well as being safe in the sun, so the children decided it was best to eat their picnic in the shade. 🌞

Opal Play update! The children have loved playing with our newly donated dressing up clothes on this fabulously sunny day. 💙

Stone Bay had a fantastic day focusing on their mind, body and soul; exploring both their physical and mental health. The children started the day by learning about the importance of sleep, followed by an awesome surf workshop led by Kent surf school. In the afternoon, the children made healthy sandwiches (which they rated 10/10) and finished the day with a PSHE lesson outside and a game of stuck in the mud. A fantastic day! 😊

Margate sands are loving their time at revolution as part of our personal development day. They are pushing themselves to have a go even when they are a little scared.

Stone Bay visited The Garden Gate Project and learnt about the various plants and conditions they needed to grow. This built upon their learning in Science this term and also their DT topic of greenhouses, where they viewed polytunnels and potted their own tomato plant. 🌱

Where Everyone Can Be a Hero (or a Princess!) ✨🌟 Dressing up is one of the most important ways we learn to play, and play to learn. When we wear costumes, we aren’t just having fun; we are building. ✨Empathy & Kindness: Practicing what it feels like to be someone else. ✨Super Speech: Telling stories and building amazing vocabulary. ✨Confidence & Cooperation: Working together to run a café or rule a kingdom! Dressing up is the magic wand that turns ordinary moments into extraordinary adventures. 🌈
