Kite update

This year so far has been an exciting adventure in Kites Class. We have been fortunate to eventually welcome a new member, Madison, I say eventually because she was supposed to arrive at the beginning of September but she didn’t arrive until the end of the month! We had almost given up but it was worth the wait.

In the mornings, as we are a mixed class of Year 5 and Year 6 children, we go our separate ways for our English and Mathematics lessons.
Some of our Year 5 pupils are enjoying some exciting work with Mr Clark; the others with some of our Year 6 pupils are enjoying their work with Mrs Ridett. The rest of our Year 6 pupils are joined by the majority of other Year 6 pupils from Kestrels and Buzzards and we are working hard to meet the challenging targets for this year – so bring it on!

As this year has progressed we in Kites have taken part in many extracurricular activities. Some of us have learnt to ride a bike (some of us knew how to already but we can do it better now!). Our Year 6 children had an exciting day at UKSA learning to sail. It will be a long time before many of us will forget the sight of Mrs Rann and Mrs Sparrow (wearing their sporty wet-suits) sailing-off majestically into the Solent, before being rounded-up by the rescue boats! We have also engaged in Academy events such as the Harvest Festival for parents and we are looking for-
ward to celebrating the forthcoming festive season this year. All in all it has been a great start to the year.
