Junior Extra Curricular

The Creative Closure Challenge – The Ditcham Chronicle

Pre-Prep were considering what they would do if they could fly. Read Jack’s heart-melting ‘If I had wings, I would dream..’ We think Jack’s lovely Grandma will have an Extra Big Hug - hopefully very soon – & Santa will be pleased to have Jack’s help. Well done Jack! @DitchamPark https://t.co/T9K1hewEy6

@astro_timpeake : Lots of people are asking about timings for tonight's spacecraft sightings. For the UK: @Space_Station , 21:20 (look west, right of the moon) @SpaceX launch, 21:33 watch here: https://nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/#public…, then about 21:50, it will be following the same path as the ISS over the UK #DitchamConnect #STEAM #SouthDownsClearSkies #WillYouBeWatching

In this week’s newsletter we’re sure you will be dazzled by a live experiment, blown away by a selection of junior and senior art, say ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ when you see family pets helping pupils and you’ll find out what maths work made Mrs Whittle dance in her kitchen! It’s the magic of Ditcham! Wishing all our families a safe and sunny half term! #DitchamConnect #Rainbows #STEAM #Talent

Friday’s PE Challenge is a bit different. As a Ditcham community we are aiming to clock up our combined jogging/walking/cycling miles and see how far we travel around the globe. The challenge begins today until the end of June. We’ll total the distances so make sure you send them in to pe@ditchampark.com 3 cheers to our PE team for all their videos…we’ve heard there are outtakes but we’re not really sure if you would like to see them? Let us know by Liking and Sharing this post…. #DitchamConnect #ForAllTheFamily #PhileasFogg #BloopersReward https://youtu.be/eZ86Bhp9sTk

At Dragonflies we enjoy making craft activities and getting messy! We often use a range of resources such a junk modelling, paint and glue and stick different materials together - we particularly like using sparkly gems and sequins! We enjoy using our imaginations to create wonderful masterpieces. Why not try something a little bit different? Have a go at making a sock puppet using an old pair of socks! You could even put on a puppet show afterwards! #DitchamConnect #NoOrdinaryNursery #Sooty #Gordon https://www.ditchampark.com/nursery/ditcham-dragonflies/

Each morning in Dragonflies we talk about what the weather is that day and we discuss in a small group what activities you could do in that weather. For example, when it is raining we love jumping in muddy puddles! When it is sunny we like taking our snack outdoors for a picnic. When it's windy we have talked about making kites and trying to fly them! Today's activity is to have a go at making a kite! What materials might you use? Do you think you could fly it in today's weather? #DitchamConnect #NoOrdinaryNursery #16Acres #LetsGoFlyAKite https://www.ditchampark.com/nursery/ditcham-dragonflies/

The English Speaking Union (ESU) is organising a ‘Festival of Speaking’ during lock down to encourage young people to develop their oracy Listen to Toby Field, Joint Winner of the Performing Shakespeare Competition 2019, inspire students to take part. Toby explained how he found “learning a speech and stepping into a character’s shoes can help you find you own voice and give you confidence to use it”. #esufestivalofspeaking #ISAArts #DitchamConnect #Proud #FollowInTobysFootsteps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx33OEpeoSo&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0MdHQGsKba1yYh7Mh2JD_l8Dm9HwFsqLZS7yJCQ_U0UEYmZVg3U7-AhNg
