St Joseph's, Broadstairs have just celebrated Science Week.  Please see the image below for full details of their exciting adventures!

Several KCSP academies celebrated this year's World Book Day, an annual event organized by UNESCO to promote reading.  Here are some of the wonderful pictures of our children enjoying the day!

As part of the celebrations for International Women’s Day on 8^th March 2019, the St Joseph’s STEMettes gave a trailblazing talk illustrating the point that women are at the forefront of exploring new horizons in space.

 

The five girls, who are members of the St Joseph’s girls only science club, are working on a project to send a message to the two female astronauts in the International Space Station orbiting the Earth.

 

The STEMettes spoke about the challenges of learning python coding in order to communicate with the astronauts by using Astro-Pi. The girls are aiming to send the astronauts a message and picture and have only a small thirty second window in which to do so. Undaunted, the girls have also been tasked with devising a way to record the temperature on board the space station.

 

Communicating with Christina Koch and Anne McClain, the two female astronauts on board, is a thrilling project for the five girls in the Club whose enthusiasm and commitment to the project was transmitted to the assembled audience at the Monkton Observatory and was an inspiring way of celebrating International Womens’ Day.

The children of Our Lady of Hartley Catholic Primary School have recently become published authors as part of an inspiring writing project. The creation of a whole school E-Book to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the end of WW1, involved the participation of every child.

 

‘We Remember’ features a variety of stories, diary entries, Haiku poetry and greeting cards. As a result of this inspiring project, the children feel a great sense of achievement that their book has the potential to reach a global audience and that they are now published authors!  10% of the proceeds will be donated to the charity ‘War Child’ with the remainder of the proceeds going towards paying for an author visit to the school.
