Residential has shown us how teamwork is so important and as the children took part in a human crane activity it became even more evident. Communication, trust and a strong team that works together are the magic ingredients. Eagles class are very special and have all these important elements in abundance.

Look at some balancing act photos here.

We ventured on the River Soar, which was amazing and a very wet experience. Wellies and waterproofs wee of no use with the cascading waterfall and the splashing girls. What a lot of fun was had by all.

From the ground, it looked easy. From the sky things changed. The challenge was on- who dares go first? James, Sean, Lewis and Emily are high rope superstars.

The children were all amazing and helped each other overcome nerves and fear. The platform wobbled, the children dangled and the ropes swung wildly, yet everyone felt a sense of achievement . The instructors were fabulous and encouraged us all.

What a week it has been, with breakfast club and outdoor picnics, a bird that tried to fly into our classroom and a beautiful blue sky to keep us smiling. The Eagle's class have worked as a great team and survived their SATs with smiles and the best attitude ever! I could not be more proud of their focus and their maturity this week. Well done to you all, every one of you is a star in my eyes.

The atmosphere was full of promise and confidence as the children  excitedly  arrived in the class to work on their maths SATs papers.  

We  came, we saw and we conquered! According to the children, the papers were: pretty decent, real life puzzles and at times brain twisting. In other words, they were challenging- just what we love in KPNS. 

One to go.
