Children in Year 4 from Whitstone Community Primary School took a trip to Budehaven School to take part in a local dodgeball tournament.

Children from a number of schools took part, each giving it their all to be crowned victorious.

The school has also launched a new “Reading Buddies” initiative. Decided by the ‘Education Committee’, comprising of some Year 6 pupils, the scheme will see committee members read stories to small groups of children in Seedling class and listen to readers in Acorn class. They hope to inspire our younger readers to become passionate readers, to develop their vocabulary and to act as excellent role models.
