We love to celebrate sport at VIPS Aylesford and this week has been no exception. Livvy in year 6 proudly represented our school when she played for the Tonbridge and Malling District under 11 girls team in a match against Crystal Palace. Keep following your dream! We continue to follow the journey of Taylor in Year 3.
Last weekend she took part in the All England Open Championships in the famous tower in Blackpool. Her ballroom and latin American dances earned her medals which she was proud to share in school. For Safer Internet Day this week we enjoyed an assembly delivered by our digital leaders and completed activities in classrooms.
Our Yr 5 & 6 pupils took part in a Digital Detox and were challenged to stay off social media for 24 hours. Well done to those who managed! @UK_SIC Some of our Year 5 and 6 girls took part in a This Girl Can event this week which aims to promote gender equality in sports and encourage girls to participate more.
They had a brilliant time and represented the school perfectly - go on girls! Well done to our UKS2 Athletics team for achieving 3rd place last week!
