Goodbye and Good Luck Mrs Ward

Today, not only did we say a sad goodbye to two pupils, but we had to say goodbye to our 'One of a kind' Mrs Ward.
She was given a very 'personalised' send off with confetti cannons!

We will all miss her so very much and school will never be the same without her.  Despite this, we wish her all the best in her new job and would like her new school to know just how lucky they are to have her and please look after her for us.

Lots of Love xxx

Happy Retirement Mrs Bruce

Mrs Bruce has been a dinner lady at Kelsale for 30 years.  She was working at the school when some of the children's parents were pupils.  She supervised her last lunchtime today, which was followed by an emotional thank you and good bye.  Thank you Mrs Bruce xx

Thank you Lucy and Natasha

It certainly sounded like the two classes were having a fantastic part this afternoon, with plenty of games and prizes.  Silence descended as they tucked into their delicious party food.  A huge thank you ton all the parents how contributed to the goodies.

Class 1 and 2 Christmas Party

After many party games, the children settled down to some party food kindly donated by some of the parents.  Some of the food was so good, it had to be 'sampled' by the members of staff!  Thank you to all.

Class 5 and 6 Christmas Party

Limbo Time!

Classes 5 and 6 had a fab time on Wednesday afternoon at their Christmas Party.  We played musical statues and then 'Limboed' the afternoon away, before settling down to party food.

A big thank you to all the parents who brought in party food for the children to enjoy.

Classes 1 and 2 Play- Angel Express

A huge well done to classes 1 and 2 this afternoon on the first of two Christmas plays.  The rest of the school very much enjoyed the play on Monday morning, with the very amusing Angel choir and the very shocked shepherds awoken from sleep in the fields near Bethlehem.  

A huge well done to all the children, teachers, for their hard work and parents for providing the costumes.

Class 3 and 5 Circuit Training

Some of classes 3 and 5 had a fabulous work out this morning, courtesy of one of our Year 5 boys, who design, set out, modelled and then monitored and feedback to the rest of the children.  He did such an amazing job of positively feeding back to his peers, I was inspired to take photographs.

Saxmundham Free School visit

We were lucky enough to have a visit from Saxmundham free school pupils this afternoon.  They took time out of their busy timetable to read their favourite picture books to Classes 2 and 3.
As you can see from the photos below, the children clearly enjoyed their afternoon.  Thank you so much.

Everlasting Light 2016

To top off a busy day, 18 children, plus parents and staff, met at The Spa Pavilion, Felixstowe for the finale of all the hard work on the Everlasting Light project.
Once again, we were stunned at the number of people, who gave their time and expertise to ensure the concert went smoothly.
But, again, we were over-whelmed by the performance of our children, in fact all the children on stage last night.  Despite the long day, the children sung their socks off, bringing tears to the eyes of those watching.  We all experienced a huge feeling of pride, and had a most magical evening.

Everlasting Light is the 2016 Suffolk schools and churches charity music project in aid of Tearfund.

Kelsale Christmas Fayre 2016

Wow, what a busy day.  The school was packed with festive cheer, as people piled into the school to try their luck on the stalls and raffle, sample the delicious mince pies and sausage rolls, and maybe even pay a visit to our special visitor, Father Christmas!
There were some initial teething problems with the printing of photos with Father Christmas, but this was solved as soon as it was possible to. If you didn't receive your photograph, either take the image from the file below, or contact the school office, and we will organise a print for you.

A huge thank you to Fiona Wilson, Carla Denny and the other valuable members of the School friends for their hard work, both on the day, but equally importantly, the tireless efforts in the weeks leading up to this mamouth event.
Without the hard work for the Kelsale Friends, chidlren in the school would not have access to some of those extra, memorable experiences: Trips which are financially supported, equipment purchased and time given.  It is very much appreciated.
