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! Hope you've all enjoyed a lovely summer break. We've got lots of exciting activities to do this term. In English we'll be studying a book called 'Star of Fear, Star of Hope' by Jo Hoestlandt. 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 place value and then moving on to addition and subtraction. In Science, we'll be studying Light - so lots of practical experiments and investigations. The Anglo Saxons will be the focus of our History topic, we'll be studying the impact these people had upon the culture and landscape of the British Isles.
