Scooting treat for Kestrels

Well done Kestrels!  As attendance winners we were lucky to have a workshop with Terry Price - a professional and World Champion scooter rider.  We learned some important control skills and also had fun perfecting our bunny hops!

FLOWER POWER from Nightingales!

ROLL UP!  ROLL UP! The winners of guess the longest sunflowers are revealed....

If you were one of the lucky children that guessed sunflower C was the longest then you are correct! A HUGE thank you to everyone that took part in our stall at the summer fayre, we are so proud of how much money we were able to raise! 

Summer Fayre 2019

Thanks to everyone for making our Summer Fayre such a super event. Once again, I am amazed by  our children and how our community have all come together to support the school. We'll be working out the totals this week and let you know how much we managed to raise. I would like to thank our marvellous PTA and all those who contributed to the event for their excellent efforts. Thank You!

 

SUPER Swifts visit the Gurdwara!

Earlier this week the SUPER Swift class visited the Gurdwara! We have been learning about 'Sikhism' and wanted to find out more information.  We were lucky enough to have a tour of the Gurdwara and a volunteer gave us a special talk about the Sikh religion. It was fascinating!  Did you know that Miss Sangha is a Sikh? She has been sharing her religion with us too.  The best bit at the Gurdwara was getting to try the food.  It was delicious! 

Take a sneak peek of our visit...

Summer Fayre Ahead...

Excitement is building towards our Summer Fayre this Friday and today we heard all about the children's plans to raise money in assembly. On the list we have scones and donuts; treasure hunts and orienteering; photo booths and tin can alleys to name just a few. Don't be alarmed by the picture below - no bears were actually harmed - but that is 'Bear Ballista'! We have a competition to launch the soft toy of your choice at various targets for no apparent reason other than raising money for the school and the fun of doing so! Bring your own bear or use one of ours! We are also getting excited by the Rodeo - expect the queue for that to be long. There will be an inflatable Cow race, too, though before you get any ideas that is only for younger children.

Swimming Gala Results

We are pleased to share the results of last weeks City School's Swimming Gala. 6th place overall for our team which is a pretty good result against some much larger schools! Well done!

City Mission visit Kestrels

Year 6 have had a great morning with Charis from City Mission.  She came in and ran lots of activities with us based around transition and the move to Secondary School.  We had fun playing games; writing letters to the future Year Rs; thinking about our hopes and dreams; making thank you flags for members of staff who have helped us on our journey; taking part in quizzes and putting positive comment sticky notes on each other other!
