Christmas Decoration Day 2012

The festive season is upon us once again and the fun and festivities has not gone unnoticed at Kelsale.
Christmas decoation day signals the approach of the Christmas Fayre and the mad rush that are the Christmas productions.
All five classroom were equipped ready with many different seasonal art and craft activities ready to decorate the school building.  A plentiful supply of cotton wool, tissue paper, paper plates, and of course, glitter were ready and waiting when the children arrived at school, armed with a chocolate donation for the Fayre and adult helpers.
As the day progresses, we began to run short of space as reindeer, santas, fairies, trees and wreaths started to take over.

A fun time was had by all.  As always, the children's behaviour was exemplary and the whole day was well supported by staff and adult helpers alike.  A huge thank you to all involved.  Same time next year?

School Disco 2012

The social event of the year took place in the school hall last night.  Glitter, hairbands, shirts, ties, heeled shoes and plenty of energy piled into the school's front door and Lee Ruffles, who had kindly offered to DJ for the event, started up the music.



A snack and drink were provided.


Followed by, what has become, the traditional break dancing 'dance off'. 





A fantastic evening was enjoyed by all the children, who behaved beautifully, although I would imagine there were several very tired children making their way home to bed afterwards.

A big thank you to all adult helpers and a huge thank you to Lee Ruffles as he gave his time so generously.

KS2 Flying High

Yesterday, all of KS2 plus helpers travelled to IWM Duxford as part of there World War 2 history topic.  We had all spent time looking at Google maps, planning our journey and the Duxford website, becoming increasingly excited about the exhibits we might see.

Our first clue that we had arrived the the giant aeroplane hanger that appeared as we come around the corner.  The noise on the bus escalated immediately, further aided by the site of a Hurricane plane at the entrance.  We had arrived.

What followed was a fabulous, fun filled day, packed full of information, amazement at the planes, shelters and bombs seen and even a walk through Concorde.

The children were fantastically well behaved and showed a great deal of interest and respect for the displays seen.

A huge thank you to all the helpers who came, without whom, we wouldn't be able to go to such fascinating places.
