Class 5 volcano videos




Class 5's Roman Homework

This term, KS2 topic has been 'Journeys'.  As pat, of this topic, we have focused on a study of Ancient Roman history, and in particular, the story of the City of Pompeii.  The city was destroyed by a volcanic eruption, resulting in a pyroclastic flow in AD 79.
For homework, the children chose a variety of ways to develop their own learning through research, DT (making and baking), science experiments and literacy and, in the case of one group of boys, the entire city of Pompeii created on Minecraft .
The quality of work was so impressive and fascinating that we spent the afternoon, appreciating each other's efforts.  As a finale, we took our Mount Vesusvius' outside and recreated the great eruption of AD 79, this time using a combination of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda.

Below, you can see some pictures of the work of the children.  Please look and enjoy.

Egg decoration day

Another fantastic example of what makes Kelsale School such a special place.
A beautiful day, fantastic adult helpers and any many boiled eggs later and the children's DT efforts were impressive.  Judging the winners was 'eggstremely' difficult but prizes were awarded.
Huge thanks to all who helped and provided eggs and equipment for the children.

Mother's day service 2014

A beautiful spring morning saw all children strolling down to Church for a service to thank all Mum's for all they say and do.  The children read poems, showed pictures, sang songs and read prayers.
