At New Horizons this week we have been taking part in a variety of exciting Science Week activities across the school. For example; Year 3 children took part in an experiment to investigate dissolving different types of sugars, Year R children have been finding out all about melting, Year 2 have been planting cress seeds and in Year 6 children have learnt about antigens and antibodies. They also created an inclusive playground game where anyone could participate regardless of ability or disability. There was even a live lesson with Tim Peake, a British Astronaut on Monday.

It has been another busy week at New Horizons and great to see the sun shining. World Book Day on Thursday was a great success. It was fantastic to see children dressed as their favourite book characters and talk about all the books that they enjoy reading at home and at school. Children took part in live lessons and a variety of World Book Day themed activities including a World Book Day competition to design a character. It was also lovely to see older children reading together with younger children during the afternoon. Thank you for all your support with costumes and we hope children enjoyed the day.

Welcome back to Term 4. Thank you for coming along to the parent/carer consultations this week. It was great to see so many of our families in school and for you to have the opportunity to see your children's work. EYFS started the week with a trip to Curly's Farm and when they set off it was pouring with rain. This didn't dampen their enthusiasm however and they managed to have a fantastic day seeing the animals.

What an amazing last week of term we have had at New Horizons Children's Academy. Children in EYFS came dressed up for their 'When I grow up' day and have been excitedly telling the adults and all their friends about the career that inspires them. We have seen a huge range of jobs; teachers, doctors, nurses, police, ballerinas, astronauts, pilots and many more ! Thank you to EYFS parents and carers for all your support in providing costumes. Another highlight for EYFS was the visit from Kent Fire and Rescue today. Children learnt all about safety if there is a fire and enjoyed learning about all the different equipment in the fire engine. The hose caused a lot of excitement !

This has been a truly memorable week with a buzz of excitement from lots of different events across the school. A particular highlight has been the trip to Young Voices with the choir on Wednesday night. Young Voices is the largest children's choir in the world with over 8000 children singing together at the O2. We were immensely proud of the children at New Horizons who sang beautifully and were fantastically well behaved throughout the trip and a real credit to the school. Thank you also to all the staff that supported the trip; Miss Xavier-Cope, Miss Ellis, Mrs Davies and Miss Colverson. I also enjoyed accompanying the trip. We had a fantastic evening and were even given a suite which was a real luxury that we didn't expect !
