Happy Easter Kensukes!
I hope you've all had a fun day and have not eaten too much chocolate!
How many eggs did you all get? I got 2.

Make a Racket!

What another busy day for the Kensukes!
We had a break from our SAT's preparation this afternoon to take part in 'Make a Racket'

 We visited King Edwards Lower School to learn how to play badminton.

We did lots of fun warm up activities and we were taught a variety of shots by coaches.

We were all given a goody bag at the end of the event and two children received an award for making the most improvements over the afternoon - well done HB and LB!

Thank you to Mr. Bowmer for organising the event for us. We all really enjoyed ourselves.

Red Nose Day!

We've had a great day in school raising money for Red Nose Day. 

As you can see, we all dressed in red.

We had fun at the disco  with DJ Rigler.









The year 6's produced a joke book to sell with jokes contributed by children across the school.





The year 6 girls had an afternoon of Zumba fun showing the school how it is done.









Mr. Malcolm had his beard shaved off  to raise money.








The teachers took part in a Malteser eating challenge with chopsticks. I won but I was sad to hear some staff cheated!









Mrs. Whaley led the afternoon Zumbathon and made all the staff join in. Great work Mrs. Whaley! 







Thank you to Mrs. Jinkinson for organising such a fantastic day and for tracking down red ice lollies for the whole school! We are all looking forward to hearing how much money we have raised for a brilliant cause.

Den building!

We had a fun end to the day today building dens in the school grounds. We had to work as a team to construct a den which we could sit under as a shelter. Building the dens required good teamwork skills. Which den do you think would provide the best shelter?
Thank you very much to the Living With Nature team who organised the event for the whole school.

Y6 Castleton Residential, Losehill Hall.

We all had a fantastic three days in Castleton! 
Here are some photos of the activities we took part in while we were there. 
Which was your favourite activity? 
Mine was archery.
Thank you to Mrs. Whaley for organising the trip for us.
