Thanet Lifeguard Club is a local, volunteer-led community club dedicated to teaching young people essential water safety and lifesaving skills. Their Rookie Lifesaver Programme is designed for children aged 7–12 who are confident swimmers and are looking to continue developing their skills beyond traditional swimming lessons. With coastal communities such as ours, Thanet Lifeguard Club believe that water safety education is an invaluable life skill. These sessions help children build confidence, teamwork, leadership and first aid knowledge, while learning practical lifesaving techniques in a safe, enjoyable environment.

🌱 Learning All About Life Cycles in Nursery! 🌿 We have some very busy little scientists in our nursery lately! 🧑🔬 Our current topic is all about how living things grow and change. 🦗✨ We have been incredibly lucky to watch our very own stick insects hatch and grow! The children have learned that these fascinating creatures only eat leaves, and they have been amazed to watch them shed their skin as they get bigger. 🫘🪴 To explore the plant world, we have also been learning what seeds need to grow. The children have rolled up their sleeves and planted some beans of their own! We can't wait to watch them sprout. What has been your child's favourite part of our life cycles topic so far? Let us know in the comments! 👇

☀️ Splashing into Capacity and Volume in Year 1! 💦 Our Year 1 mathematicians have been making a splash this week! To make the most of the gorgeous warm weather, we took our maths learning outdoors for some hands-on fun with capacity and volume. Working in teams, the children became measuring experts as they compared how much water different containers could hold. They practiced using key vocabulary like full, empty, nearly full and half full, all while developing their brilliant problem-solving and measuring skills. The best part? It was the perfect, refreshing way to cool off on a sunny day! 🌡️🕶️

🐛✨ From tiny caterpillars to beautiful butterflies! ✨🦋 Our brilliant Year 1 students have been working as real-life scientists over the last few weeks! They have been closely observing the incredible life cycle of butterflies right in their classroom. Here is what they got up to: 🐛The Caterpillar Stage: Watching them grow bigger and bigger every day. 👀The Chrysalis Stage: Waiting patiently while the magic happened behind the scenes. 🦋The Big Reveal: Excitement filled the room as they finally emerged as stunning butterflies! After spending a few days observing their new winged friends and learning how to care for them, Year 1 said their final goodbyes and released them into the wild today! 🌸👋
