Dame Janet is a good school for everyone.

In preparation for the very hot weather on Monday and Tuesday, all children and staff are invited to wear non-school uniform in order to keep cool. Please ensure children are wearing sun-cream and have a water bottle in school.

Year 6 spent another afternoon at Forest School. 🌿 This week, the children created framed pieces of artwork. They really enjoyed hunting for things they could use to add colour and texture to their art. Well done year 6, some impressive creations! More pictures can be found on our Facebook page. #DameJanetPrimaryAcademy

🤩Just a taster of the activities our after school club children get up to. Recently the children have been exploring outside with a scavenger hunt, made carnival masks in celebration of the hot weather, made flowers out of egg boxes, enjoyed playing games inside and out and made new friends. ❗️Our introductory offer runs out next week so now is the perfect time to try a session and see what your children think! ⭐Introductory offer: From 2nd June to 2nd July, we will offer an introductory price for wraparound club: 📍£5.00 for a full after school club session (3.15pm - 6.00pm) 📍£3.00 for a half after school club session (3.15pm - 5pm) More information about our wraparound care can be found on our website: https://www.damejanet-tkat.org/parents/wraparound-care

Yesterday, Dame Janet collaborated with McDonalds WWX to complete a litter pick at Jackey Bakers. The children worked very hard and thoroughly enjoyed themselves whilst looking after our community spaces. Great work everyone! More photos can be found on our Facebook page. #DameJanetPrimaryAcademy

Congratulations to our times table superstars!

Our sign of the week is 'walk'. Why not challenge your children to say 'Good Morning, I want a walk please' 😁

Year 6 had the opportunity to explore forest school last week. The children enjoyed playing a game of ‘Race to Base’ where they had to get their way back to base and not get caught by the teacher!

It was a bit hot to be in a classroom all day yesterday, so Year 5 went outside to estimate the capacity of containers. Everyone enjoyed the shade and the breeze and made some great estimations. 😊

Congratulations to this week's times table superstars! ⭐

This week we are learning the sign for want. Why not ask your children if they know how to say they want something in British Sign Language.

🏕️ Year 6 had a great time camping. It was so lovely to see everyone chatting, laughing and playing together. The whole year group game of hide and seek (just as it was getting dark) was a highlight for the teachers to watch 💜 (check Facebook for more photos…)

Last week Year 5 saw a fabulous science show about air pollution and learned that we all have a responsibility to try and improve the air we breathe. The children met Abbie and her scientist granny, who showed Abbie and her friend Charlie what the world needs to do to improve air quality for everyone. Thank you to the actors from @theatrepie who were simply amazing and very funny!

Sign language is having a really positive impact for some of our children in school. Learning BSL is helping them to be more confident when communicating with their teachers and peers. We hope you are enjoying learning alongside your children with these videos. This week's sign is 'More' Challenge - ❓How often do you use the word more? ✏️More work please (a fairly common one in school 😄) 🍎More food please? 🎼Can you think of any songs that have the word more in? How many of our BSL signs can you remember?

Year 3 and 4 had a creative start to their week. On Tuesday the children started their day with a Kindness Workshop held by 52 Lives. They were asked to create something for someone they cared about. Lots of children chose to make cards for their friends, family members or teachers. ♥️ In the afternoon, the children were asked to design packaging for food. Using nets of different shapes they designed, cut out and stuck together their packaging. We had a variety of ideas from strawberry pots to tuna tins! 🍓🐟

More photos from year 3 and 4's brilliant beach trip last term are on our Facebook page now. The children caught the train to Margate; played on the beach; visited the Turner Contemporary and even found time for an ice-cream. 🍦 #damejanetprimaryacademy #margate #margatebeach

This week Mrs Warne has given you the whole alphabet. Why not practise saying Good Morning and finger spelling your friends name?

@damejanetprimaryacademy

Last term O’Keeffe Class enjoyed a walk to the post box to post the letters the children had written to King Charles III about looking after the environment. Everyone is hoping we might get a reply 🤞
