• Tuesday 14 May 2024 Trip to Lyme Regis We had a brilliant trip to Lyme Regis last week. We met our guide Kieran outside the museum who gave us a talk about what to look for on the beach. Then we all had a good hunt for some fossils!
• Friday 15 March 2024 Science Day Kingfishers had a great but challenging science day on Friday 15th March. Their theme was space, and they used the resources from STEM. They had a very tough challenge to make a bionic hand out of cardboard. This really challenged their resilience, and they decided to alter the bionic hand. They also learned about the moon and what it is like to be an astronaut.
• Tuesday 19 September 2023 Welcome back! We have had a great start to the year in Kingfishers. We drew and painted our class bird the Kingfisher and the results are stunning!
• Monday 17 July 2023 Samba concert! This week the children performed to parents to showcase some of the skills they learnt during their samba sessions, and they did fantastically! We are all so proud of their commitment and determination. Even though they were nervous, they did a great job! They have learnt so much over the last 8 sessions and been on a real journey. Well done everyone!

• Tuesday 23 May 2023 23rd May We have finished and summarised Shackleton's Journey to the Antarctic and are just about to start writing our newspaper article on it. The children have all been shocked at the 2 year journey of this perilous expedition and amazed that they all survived!
• Friday 5 May 2023 King's Coronation Another busy week in the Kingfisher classroom.
• Tuesday 25 April 2023 Samba! Year 3 and 4 have started their Samba lessons and all the children had a great time trying all the different drums and percussion instruments. They each were able to have a go on one or two different instruments and took part in call and response activities just to get a feel for all the different types of drums and what they sounded like. I am very much looking forward to watching them grow with confidence through the 10 week programme for their performance at the end.
