Easter Holidays 
Hello Kestrels.
Well done! You have finished Term 4 of your Kestrels Year and you can enjoy your Easter Holidays.
It's been an unusual end to the term but congratulations on any home learning you have managed to do. It`s "different" trying to work at home, isn`t it? Lots of other things seem to get in the way but any time you have spent writing, reading, calculating, experimenting or creating will have been time well spent. Be proud of what you have done. We have enjoyed the photos which you have emailed to us. Keep them coming and we can share them (have a look below). We`ve also put some ideas for things to do in the holidays, however they are just ideas. Most importantly, have a happy, safe and family friendly time.
From Mrs Arney and Mrs Gartland
Home Learning weeks 1 and 2
Things you might like to do in the holidays........
1. Try and set up your email account direct with us if you haven`t already managed to. The instructions came in the email to your parents. Send us an email message ready for next term.
2. Keep enjoying reading - books, magazines, websites.... whatever you can get your hands on.
3. There were lots of lovely ideas for things to do in the "Growing Together.....differently" Newsletter (email) from Mrs Martin. Choose something which appeals.
Mrs Arney recommends watching "The Wind in the Willows" Kenneth Grahame's well-loved collection of river bank tales turned into a family musical. www.willowsmusical.com. We know Euan recommends Maddy Moates Science and George and Maisie have worked with Carol Vorderman on The Maths Factor.
What ever you do enjoy and be fabulous!
