Recently Mrs Gower and Mrs Sherwin had an interesting chat with a former pupil who attended Dame Janet Juniors many years ago. Graham Twyman has written his own book, but also published his first YouTube video. Some of you may know Graham from Twyman & Holmes Funeral Directors. He'd love it if you checked out 'The Youth Club Years' on YouTube:

Our Nursery children had a lovely time learning to cross the road with Darren the school crossing patrol man. The children successfully stopped, looked and listened, then waited for Darren to say it was safe to cross. Well done everyone! #shortysnurseryramsgate #damejanetprimaryacademy #roadsafety

After-School Club got off to a busy start this term! The children have been making new things in our very own junk modelling area, working together to find hidden treasure, building new things out of Lego (and experimenting to see if they float) and enjoying each other's company whilst eating yummy jacket potatoes!
