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. 🎨

Thanks to these parents and carers for sparing their time and for all the positive feedback we have received about how well children’s learning is supported here at Eastwick!

This year, Eastwick marked Dyslexia Awareness Week with assemblies at the Infant and Junior Schools which explored what dyslexia is and how it can present in school. We then had some fun with play trails featuring inspiring people with dyslexia from many walks of life, followed by a lunchtime activity where children had the opportunity to explore different support equipment we offer at Eastwick and the chance to create a toolkit of personalised strategies.
