TILT pupils keep on moving!
Wed 27 Jul 2022Nicole Ward, our Lead Sports Coach for TILT gives us the lowdown on this summer's sporting events...
A fantastic effort from our Year 6’s across our TILT family at the Kent Cricket Kwik Cricket Tournament. 10 schools took part on a glorious sunny day at Bapchild Cricket Club. Minster showed great grit and determination throughout the tournament winning all of our games except the final, where we played our sister school Halfway. The final was a brilliant game to end on, with players from both teams showing great team play and sporting prowess, and what better than an Island Learning Trust Final!

More cricket for Years 1 and 2...
Wed 27 Jul 2022We had another great day of weather at Bapchild Cricket Club for the year 1+2 Rapid Fire Tournament. This tournament saw 10 teams full of young sporting talent ready to put their hearts and souls into their performance. Our children were outstanding throughout, in both their ability and their exemplary behaviour. For a team that had never played together before we progressed through the tournament at a rate of knots, only losing one of our games by 3 runs!! We then played the same team in the final and drew! Making us joint 1st overall. What an experience and what an achievement for such a young group of children!

Wed 27 Jul 2022At Sunny Bank, Year 6 were participating in a Work Experience week and were given a range of jobs around the school including: Gardeners, Assistant Headteachers, Caretakers, Forest School Assistants and Reading Assistants to name but a few. Pupils had to apply by completing application forms and attending interviews! Following that process, they were then assigned different jobs. The children have taken their roles and responsibilities seriously and have been doing a fantastic job around school!

Halfway's Spud Buds
Wed 27 Jul 2022Halfway have just completed a 4 week programme called Spud Buds, which was organised by Sheppey Matters. 6 OAPs (we referred to them as VIPs) came in each week and were paired up with one of our Year 5 children. Each week they prepared, cooked and ate a meal together, under the guidance of the Community chef. At the end the children and VIPs exchanged presents and have made a great bond. The children received pen pal packs and we are encouraging them to write to their VIP. We have set up a method for exchange for the letters so that no addresses are exchanged.
