Kelsale School Celebrates the Diamond Jubilee

Key Stage 2 hosted a Diamond Jubilee tea Party for the whole school this afternoon. Along with help from many adult helpers, cakes were baked and cucumber sandwiches were made.

Each child was given a red, blue or white jewelled crown to wear and we joined together in the hall at 2pm.
We all stood to sing the National Anthem before some of Year 4/5 brought round the sandwiches.

We rounded off the afternoon with Victoria sponge and scone.  In typical Kelsale style, beautifully behaved children and an army of amazing adult helpers meant a good time was had by all.  Thank you to all the amazing bakers for their time and sponges!

KS2 Football Tournament

This afternoon, a group of 15 Key Stage 2 children, their relatives, Nick Denny (coach) and a selection of rowdy staff members went to Leiston High School to take part in a football tournament.  They were split into two 5-a-side teams with subs, making sure everyone had a turn on the pitch.

Each team played 4 games but, despite some excellent runs for goal and some outstanding goalkeeping, we did not score.

Coach, staff and relatives were incredibly proud of all the children.  They behaved impeccably, in true Kelsale style, and showed  fabulous team spirit.  

The same cannot be said for the cheerleaders, who cheered, shouted and shook their pom poms vigorously throughout.

Well done to both teams.  You did yourselves and us proud!

Ancient Greek Food Tasting

As part of our History Topic, Ancient Greeks, Key Stage 2 spent the afternoon tasting some authentically Greek food including olives, houmous and some fruit and vegetables.  As we decided whether or not we liked or disliked each food (and some came to their decisions very quickly!), we also tried to work out what each dish contained.  

We collected all of our ideas and opinions and displayed them in giant venn diagrams on the hall floor.  These will be used for analysis by Year 4/5 in the near future.

A very enjoyable and successful afternoon.
