O’Keeffe Class had a great morning sharing the learning with our adults on World Book Day! We had activities such as a missing poster, a comic strip and sequence the images all based around our current book “That rabbit belongs to Emily Brown” and had some fantastic costumes! A BIG thank you to all the parents and carers that came along.

Jackey Bakers Recreation Ground in Ramsgate is an important green space, well used by local people for organised sports, outdoor fitness, dog-walking and play. Working in partnership with the Football Foundation, Thanet District Council hopes to unlock up to £6 million in grant funding to improve the facilities there. Local people now have the opportunity to share their ideas on what improvements we should consider, via an online survey and community engagement events. Complete the survey here: https://yourvoice.thanet.gov.uk/en-GB/projects/jackey-bakers-hub We want to understand what facilities and features people value most. These could be play areas, sports facilities, nature spaces, and accessibility improvements. In addition to the general survey, there's also a special survey for younger people, we would be grateful if you could share before 1st March, so they have the opportunity to feed into the community engagement and future of the site: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdt2jdS5k8zxQGsKgafDwp5sIaQ8_0uw_0mhGVI_9j--jne2g/viewform Many thanks, Coast and Public Realm Team, Thanet District Council.

Last term Anning class and Picasso class had a great day working with ceramists Jayne and Leah from the Turner Gallery. The children made their own totem poles as part of our two year art project with the gallery. Jayne was particularly thrilled to hear so many of our children talking about wanting to be artists when they grow up. We certainly have some skilled artists in our midst!

To celebrate Children's mental Health week, our Safeguarding Ambassadors led the upper school assembly last week. They told all the children about this year's theme "This is my place" and how we can make everyone feel they belong at Dame Janet. 🤩 Miss Lawrence was very proud of the ambassador's hard work.
