Kestrel Class Blog

Rachel from the Bible Explorer has really enjoyed working with our Yr 6s for the past two weeks on a Wednesday afternoon – these sessions run until the end of the term, during which the children will be learning hand actions that help to tell the story of the New Testament.

This Thursday we have the privilege of an author visiting the school: Andy Seed. Please see http://www.andyseed.com for details about his work.

There will also be a session for parents and carers immediately after school (3:30-4pm) for which all parents are invited to. Hopefully, the children will really enjoy the session.

Today, the Easter Service takes place, for which actors and actresses from our class take on the main roles…. a special well done to everyone involved, including our wonderful readers!

This morning, as in previous years, Rev. Bain handed out Bibles for all the year 6s.

This afternoon, Kestrel class took substances out of mixtures and solutions, seeing if they could separate them effectively. The children, as you can see, enjoyed themselves immensely! Note, too, the arrival of spring here at St Philip’s.

St Philip’s Mixed Year 6 team braved the cold, and headed, with their hats, scarves, gloves, rugs, etc., to the local Odd Down Sports Ground to face a range of other schools for 7-a-side football! Highlights included a three minute hat-trick from Edmund in the first game, some courageous saves from George, and numerous tackles from our indomitable team, who left the pitch cold, yet cheerful. Well done to everyone!

On Monday 5th March we are hosting an ‘Internet Safety Day’. During school hours there are special sessions for the children, while after school at 6:30pm there is a session especially designed for parents to listen to a speaker and ask questions. This evening session will, like last year, be held in the school hall, and is for all parents and school staff.
