Please could all children in 1B bring a cap and a pair of sunglasses (if you have some!) in on Friday please! Thank you! Mrs Brown and Miss Kerr

 We had a wonderfully warm and supportive day at the CPSL regional athletics competition today, with a group of 48 children from years 3 to 6.  This was the first inter-school competition for many of the children and they should feel incredibly proud of their achievements and conduct today. The children represented Kelvedon in many track events and also throwing, long jump and the much anticipated relays -  with most of our individual short distance runners qualifying for the finals! Many medals were brought home although every single athlete (and parent) today should feel incredibly proud.  Mr Ladlow and I certainly are. A special thanks to all of the parents who stayed with us for the entirety of the day, or for transporting your children.  Your patience, understanding and support meant the world to us and the children!  Your help and support throughout the day meant children were where they needed to be and the family spirit of our school was evident - T...

 Today in English, Year 4 have been busy learning about facts and opinions. We discussed the meanings and had a try at finding some examples within a text.

 Today in Nature Club we are thinking about the effect that the current dry weather is having on the plant life all around us. We've got some great tips for water saving in the garden which the children can join in with and help with your recycling at the same time. We have also had an unexpected visitor! Mr Hopegood :)

 Today, Gemma's farm came into our school and Gemma showed Year 1 all of the wonderful animals that she has.  The children were telling her lots of facts about animals which we had learnt earlier this year in science. 

 We had a brilliant time on the obstacle course this morning, whilst raising money for charity.  We thoroughly enjoyed all of the obstacles with the parachute being a favourite!

This afternoon, the children had a fun time creating and performing their own shadow puppet shows. This was inspired by our Science learning about light and how shadows are created. We used opaque materials to create our shadow puppets alongside a dose of imagination! The children designed characters, developed stories, and brought them to life through light and shadow. This activity encouraged creativity, communication, and teamwork as the children worked together to plan and present their performances.  It was fantastic to see their confidence grow as they shared their unique stories and entertained their audience with their shadow puppet creations.
