Lift Bexleyheath

Thursday, 09 October
This week, Ms Gaskin hosted an engaging Fantastic Food Tech taster session for prospective Year 06 students, with valuable support from our talented Year 10 helpers. The session offered a hands-on introduction to Food Technology, giving young chefs the chance to develop essential kitchen skills, from measuring and preparing ingredients to cooking and presenting their own dishes.
The budding cooks were guided through making homemade pizzas, learning about food preparation, hygiene, and teamwork along the way. The delicious aromas filling the Food Tech room made it clear that everyone was enjoying the experience!
A huge thank you to Ms Gaskin and our Year 10 students for making the session both educational and fun. By giving future students a taste of the practical and creative aspects of Food Tech, this event has inspired many young chefs to explore their culinary talents.

Wednesday, 24 September | Art Attack Session
This week, we were delighted to welcome Year 06 students and their families to our Art Attack Workshop, part of a series of special events designed to help families get to know our school and feel confident in making this important next step decision.
In the workshop, students rolled up their sleeves and immersed themselves in the vibrant world of watercolour painting. Guided by our art staff, they experimented with techniques such as wet-on-wet blending, creating washes, layering colours, and adding fine detail with brush control. Many students explored themes from nature, painting landscapes, flowers, and abstract designs that reflected their own creativity.
The atmosphere in the art room was full of energy and imagination. Students not only enjoyed the chance to express themselves but also discovered how art can be both relaxing and challenging. For many, it was a moment to try something new, build confidence in their artistic skills, and see what it feels like to be part of our school’s creative community.
Families had the chance to see their children engaged, focused, and proud of their work, an inspiring glimpse of the opportunities that await them here.
One parent remarked, “It was lovely to see how supportive the staff were and how much fun the students had while learning new skills.” Another added, “This workshop really showed us the kind of nurturing, creative environment this school offers.”
The Art Attack Workshop was not just about painting; it was about connection, creativity, and giving Year 06 families a real sense of what makes our school such a special place to learn and grow.
