This section of the website shows events that occur across the whole school, capturing the moments as soon after they happen as possible.

Opening of new intervention spaces

We were delighted to welcome Councillor Roger Gough, the Leader of Kent County Council, into Riverhead to officially open our new inclusion and intervention spaces including a new sensory room.  The children got to watch the cutting of the ribbon on these wonderful purpose built spaces. Councillor Gough also had the opportunity to come to each of the classes and meet some of the children in person - learning more about the work the children do in school. We are also grateful to members of the Governing Body, PTA and Parish Council who were also able to attend and join in our celebrations.

Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve Trip

Our Year Two classes enjoyed their trip to the Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve. They made some extraordinary discoveries when pond dipping, such as Water Scorpions, Rams-horns Snails and dragonfly nymphs. After lunch the children went bug hunting in the environmental garden where they got to see Heron's nesting in the trees.

Trip to Kent Life

Reception classes went on their first school trip to Kent Life hunting for mini beasts in their glorious gardens. The children got to explore the historic village, ride on a tractor and visit the farm animals.

Lego Workshop

Year One took part in a Lego Workshop by www.juniorstem.co.uk. The children were shown how to construct a fairground ride using algorithms and then program it to follow their instructions. They thoroughly enjoyed these sessions and the Lego man was extremely impressed by their ability to build and construct independently!

NSPCC Numbers Day

In February our children kindly helped raise money for the NSPCC by bringing in as many coins as they could find.  They all had great fun laying their coins out along the field and we were all amazed at how many there were, they filled our running track twice!  £1019.31 was raised for this important charity.

Odd Socks Day

This year's Anti-Bullying week theme was "Make a Noise About Bullying". The children wore their "odd socks" to school to raise awareness of bullying - it's O.K. to be different. They discussed how people are different and what makes us all unique. How we can be kind to each and what we can do to help someone who is being bullied.
