Kestrel

Welcome to Kestrel Class Blog

Last week we all enjoyed our ‘Slow Cook Chinese Hotpot’ – all took part in chopping, sorting and tasting!

After much hard work the ballistas are complete. Only one thing left: to create the bolts ready to fire!

Today Kestrel Class began work on their ‘ballistas’. What an industrious group of children they were, working from dawn till dusk (quite literally) and taking great pride in their work. We hope to complete the ballistas early next week.

The class all enjoyed the recent trip to the Roman Baths.

Last week we completed out ‘multi-coloured, less than realistic self portraits’. This week we used tints and shades to create a more realistic picture.

Kestrel Girls enjoyed their football tournament on Tuesday. This was celebrated in school this morning during the Headteacher’s assembly.

The children thoroughly enjoyed their morning playing tagtails…

Below are some photos from our recent cooking week. The children cooked a pasta meal to coincide with our learning about Ancient Rome.

Today we created colour wheels in preparation for learning about the art of the Mexican, Frida Kahlo.

Welcome to Kestrel Class. This term the children are learning about Ancient Rome, exploring the art of Frida Kahlo, and reading the books ‘Wolves of Willoughby Wood’ and ‘The Gladiators from Capua’ which should lead us nicely into our Roman topic.

On a practical note, please ensure all clothes/PE kits are labelled and that PE kits are in school from Tuesday to Friday.

Thanks for your continued support as we begin another year of learning, hopefully this year without any interruptions.
