Kestrel's Stars of the Week
Well done to all our superstars in Kingfishers this week!
Well done to all our superstars in Kingfishers this week!
Today, it is World Book Day and the children (and staff ) have all come to school in their pyjamas and brought their favourite bedtime story to share with their friends. They will be bringing home a £1 book voucher, which can be used to purchase one of the World Day Books or put towards a book of their choice. The £1 World Book Day Books are available to buy in bookshops and supermarkets. Happy Reading!
It has been a busy day at Anker Valley today...even Year 1 have been out and about in the local area carrying out some map work. They had aerial views of the estate so they could find where they were standing in relation to the school. Astro was also very happy to be joining them on their walk.
Kingfishers have had an amazing day at Lunt Roman Fort. They have learnt why it is preferable to be a Roman soldier and not a Celt and all survived the battlefield (just).
In assembly this morning, we found out about different pancake traditions for the four countries of the UK as well as our annual pancake race the children in Kestrels have had a go at flipping them too.

On Thursday afternoon, the children in Year 2 took part in a Djembe drumming workshop. They have had a lovely time finding out about the instrument and having a go at playing them too.
Kestrels have started their African Cuisine inspired Design and Technology Unit today. They have chopped and prepared the ingredients themselves and all had a little try of the cinnamon and honey yogurt (which was not very popular!) The recipe has been shared via Arbor.
Dragonflies visited the Parkridge Centre today and had a wonderful time exploring the great outdoors as part of their learning about Traditional Tales.
