The Kendall Christmas Service 2019
 Thank you to all the children who sang so beautifully at our Christmas Service this morning at St Stephen’s Church. Thank you to Reverend Lorraine for accommodating us and to Mr Topple who helped with the IT! It was lovely to see so many parents joining us to celebrate Christmas. |
Year 6 Ancient Maya Fabulous Finish
 At the end of last week Year 6 enjoyed two Fabulous Finishes for
their Q2 history topic - Ancient Maya. On Thursday they had a visit from Maya
archaeologist Vanessa. Throughout the day they were engaged in activities
such as: trying on Maya clothes, learning to dig like an archaeologist,
learning about the Maya Gods and tasting traditional Maya food. They all had an
amazing time and the activities really helped to consolidate their knowledge of
the ancient Maya civilisation. |
Robotics Club
 On
Wednesday 18th December the robotics club visited St Helena Secondary School
where the VEX IQ competition was taking place. Our team of 6 went along
to check out how the competition is set up and what wonderful robots we saw
there! We picked up some amazing tips and thought of how we can make our
robot even better than it is, whilst working with some of the other VEX IQ
teams from around the country. An excellent morning was had and our team
were impeccably behaved. |
Thank You!
 I would like to say a big thank you to all of
the PTA who volunteered and the children, parents and families who helped to
make our Christmas Bazaar such a success. We raised a terrific amount of money
and so the school can now afford to buy a new writing shed for the EYFS outdoor
classroom to replace the one that had rotted and fallen to pieces earlier this
year. We also now have two new welly sheds for the EYFS and Year 1 children to
replace the racks which are not so easy to use. Without your support, we would
not be able to afford to buy amazing resources like this that really benefit
the children’s learning. In the New Year, and once the access ramp to the
school is sorted, the PTA will be able to fund our new greenhouse and other
exciting projects that we have in the pipeline too! |
Year 5 Ancient Greek Day
 Year 5 stepped back in time to experience a day in Ancient
Greece. We took part in the Feast of Dionysus and spent a very busy
morning in the Greek Agora (market place). |
Children in Need
 We would like to say a huge thank you to all who supported and took part in the Joe Wick’s Big Morning Move and to Theo for his popular cake sale. In total we raised an incredible £200.05! Well done everyone! |
Magical Maths Week
 The children have all been
enjoying Magical Maths this week as part of our annual Maths Week. We started
off with a visit from Maths Magician Tony on Monday. He wowed the children with
some fantastic magic tricks and taught the children how to do some of their
own. These were all linked to the maths learning that the children had been
doing in their classrooms. Hopefully some of the older children were able to
show you some magic maths tricks at home. Later in the week the children all
paired up with another class to share their maths learning. |
Yr 6 London Visit
 On Wednesday, Year 6 had a
very long day as they ventured out on their 12 hour visit to the capital city.
After a bus tour through central London, their first stop was at the Houses of
Parliament. The children were able to look around both the House of Commons and
the House of Lords as well as the Queen's Robing Room and Westminster Hall.
They learned all about UK democracy and how the country is run.
The next stop was across Westminster Bridge (with a quick stop on the bridge to look at the London skyline) and into London Sea Life Aquarium. The children were fascinated with the large array of marine and fresh-water sea life and their personal tour guide was able to answer all of their questions. This was the perfect fabulous finish to the children's topic, Awesome Oceans. |
Christmas Bazaar – Friday 29th November 2019
 The
PTA really need your help! We are holding a non-uniform day at the
school on Friday 29th November. To take part, all your child
has to do is bring in an item for our Christmas Bazaar. We would like children
in Years 5 & 6 to bring a bottle of something to drink (any
alcohol or glass bottles to be handed to the office), Years 3 & 4
to bring in packets of sweets and EYFS , Year 1
and Year 2 some chocolates (preferably with no nuts please).
We would also be very grateful of any donations of books for the book stall and prizes for the raffle. In addition, we would be very grateful for any donation of homemade or bought cakes to be brought in on the day of the Bazaar. |
