Year 5 are currently learning about ‘ Interactive installations’ as part of their Art curriculum. This week, they looked at the artist Cai Guo-Qiang and how he creates his pieces. The children then recreated their own versions! Performance art is created through actions performed by the artist or other participants. It was great fun but very messy!

A fantastic morning of Sports Crew Training for our House Captains! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
The children developed their leadership skills by learning new games and practising how to teach them to others using ‘Mr Nedd’s’ simple but effective approach: Name the game, Explain it, Demonstrate and Deliver.
The session was full of teamwork, communication and confidence-building, and our House Captains did a brilliant job stepping into leadership roles. Well done Everyone! We look forward to seeing you put your hard work into practise back at school!

Year 6 enjoyed their WW2 Evacuee immersion day this week, experiencing what life was like as a child during the war. They created silhouette art collages of the Blitz, took part in a 1940 style PE lesson and engaged with vast amounts of History learning, exploring the journey of the evacuees. Thank you to the children and parents/carers for their fantastic efforts with costumes! We were also blown away by those pupils that made creative projects to represent learning about Remembrance Day.
On Wednesday 11th, we gathered together in both schools to hold a 2 minute silence to remember those that fought during the war. The children were extremely respectful and reflective and we were very proud of their engagement with this.

Great Win for Year 6 Boys’ Football Team in Their First Friendly of the Year!
On Friday 6th November 2026, ten boys from Year 6 took part in a home friendly football match against Great Bookham School.
The weather provided the perfect setting, with a still, autumnal afternoon and plenty of excitement as the boys headed up to the top field. The occasion felt even more special as we were able to use our new officially sized 9-a-side goals for the first time.
The match was played in excellent spirit, with both teams demonstrating fantastic sportsmanship throughout. Great Bookham battled hard until the final whistle and never gave up.
Final Score: Eastwick 11–1 Great Bookham School! 🏆

This week for adult-led group time, our Nursery children used toilet roll tubes dipped in paint and washing up liquid. It made foamy bubbles for their halloween cauldrons, after the children had been trick or treating last week. 🧙🏻🧛🏻♂️
The children then used the toilet roll tubes with an end trimmed to create firework paintings as we approached Guy Fawkes day on the 5th November! 🎆
On Friday, the children watched a short clip about Diwali and then made clay diva lamps and painted these with extra glitter to add to the colourful spectacle. 🎨
