Kestrels visited Foot Anstey solicitors as part of the Widening Horizons project. They learnt all about law, became spies and played a game of I Spy on the rooftop terrace. They also enjoyed a delicious corporate lunch!

Today, Rozi Hilton visited Magpies and Buzzards to share her poetry expertise. In a fun-packed session, the children shared ideas and wrote their own poems to kick off 'Young Poets Week'. 

Finishing a busy but fun-packed week, our staff and children wore their spotty mufti to show support for the annual 'Children in Need' event. 

During a full day of martial arts workshops, all of the children from Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 got to learn the skills needed to be an effective martial artist, displaying our school values of being safe, ready and respectful at all times. 

Today, we are celebrating 'Odd Socks Day' to help us step into 'Anti-Bullying Week', with many children and staff joining in the fun. With the theme 'Power for Good', Mrs. Matthews will be leading a whole school assembly today and the children will complete lessons within their classes to highlight the importance of preventing bullying. 

On Thursday, we had the fantastic Rocksteady Music visit the school and demonstrate the power of instruments to engage and inspire.  They even created a school band, who performed the classic 'We Will Rock You'. After the event, parents could sign their children up to paid tuition with a Rocksteady tutor, with lessons beginning in the near future.  

Once again, parents and children went above and beyond with their extremely generous donations to the Shekinah Mission and local food banks as we celebrated Harvest Festival. It was also a brilliant turn out for the event with parents and carers filling the hall to watch the children perform and our guest speaker, Reverend Sue, deliver her message of thanks. 

Thanks to the wonderful Widening Horizons project, Kestrels visited Saltram to learn all about environmental management, testing soil quality by digging for worms; picking apples from the orchard and helping to feed the resident herd of cattle.
