Kestrels enjoy a visit from City Mission

Kestrels enjoyed a great day today working with Charis from City Mission, thinking about change and transitions. They had a lot of fun doing a range of activities including making friendship chains, flags of thanks and a thumb print memory picture! 

Robins ROCKED Manor Farm!

On Friday 16th June, the Robins class spent the day at Manor Farm. They had an absolute blast! This trip linked brilliantly with our topic, 'School Days' so it was the perfect opportunity to share what we already knew about this topic and find out more information.

We took part in lots of fun activities throughout the day which included: a Victorian School role play session (Mr Finn and Mr Adams got told off) playing Victorian games, visiting the Victorian house, going on a bug hunt and seeing all the animals. A highlight was feeding the baby goats!  

The whole day itself was really fun and a memorable experience 😀

Here's a sneak peek of our fabulous day...

A Special Visitor came to visit...

 …the Robins class today! We had a really lovely afternoon being visited by a special nurse who works for the NHS (a fabulous parent of one of the Robins) We have been learning all about 'people who help us' as part of our PSHE topic so Miss Sangha invited in a special nurse who talked about their job. She was fantastic! 

We were really in awe of listening to what she does day to day, we learnt how to find a pulse, enjoyed guessing the special equipment that she bought along with her, had a go at using plastic syringes and the effect this had with water, we learnt how to wash our hands 'the nurse' way and had fun at bandaging up one of the Robins! This made us giggle lots 😀

Here's some pictures of our special visit...

Thank you so much for visiting us - you are a star ⭐

 

Amazing Kestrels...

Every single child in Kestrels has been amazing this week! They have been resilient, demonstrated a positive mindset and shown they are learning to be the best they can! 

This afternoon they produced some lovely artwork, reflecting on all the other things that they are good at, or that are good about them as individuals, which were not tested this week. And as a little well done, we all enjoyed a doughnut and celebratory cup of lemonade.

Well done Kestrels, you have done yourselves proud.
