It has been a very busy week in school with lots going on.  Thank you to everyone who attended our KS2 carol service in church on Tuesday and our KS1 nativity performances on Wednesday. The children did an amazing job and looked great in their costumes.

As part of Kestrels Stone Age to Iron Age topic the children visited Sarehole Mill on Wednesday. They had a great day finding out lots of interesting facts and enjoyed creating their own artwork.  Please take a look at the Gallery page for photos.

We took the choir to M & S at Ventura on Thursday morning where they entertained the shoppers with a selection of carols and Christmas songs.  Thank you to all of the children that took part and also to the parents and grand parents that came along to show their support.

The hall was very busy on Thursday when all of the children sat together for their Christmas dinner. They all looked great wearing the hats they'd made earlier in the week.  Photos will be added to the gallery soon.

Today was Christmas Maths Day for all of the classes.  The children enjoyed a variety of Christmas themed activities, from creating parabolic curves and 3D crackers, to plotting coordinates, cracking codes, helping Santa out of a maze and using their estimation and prediction skills.

We have also held celebration assemblies for both Robins and Kingfishers class.  Well done to everyone who received a certificate.
