Kestrels 2025 - 2026
Welcome to our homepage.
'Encourage one another and build each other up' 1 Thessalonians 5:11
We are the school's Year 5 and 6 pupils. In the Kestrels class, we strive to always encourage each other and build each other up and do this through living out our Christian values: joy, community, trust, respect, courage and friendship.
Welcome back and we're ready to begin the Spring term! We've got lots of exciting activities to do this term. In English we'll be studying a book called 'The Selfish Giant' by Oscar Wilde. All of our English writing will be based on this book this half term. In Maths, we'll be using the White Rose scheme beginning with Ratio, Agebra and Decimals for Year 6 and Multiplication, Division and Fractions for Year 5. In Science, we'll be studying Light - so lots of practical experiments and investigations. Coasts will be the focus of our Geography topic, we'll be studying coastal erosion looking at the physical impact of this process as well as how if affects local people.
