Burntstump Seely CofE Academy

One of our lovely Robins children spotted a little mouse on the playground today and we all enjoyed observing it closely. One child noticed that he was breathing very quickly and maybe he was scared , so we all came up with the idea to find a spot for him to run free. We named him sonic and off he went on his adventure!

In computing, Kestrels have been learning about computational thinking. They now know what decomposition and pattern recognition means and we applied these skills to different activities. They had to organise a picture, try to build a house out of Lego, unscramble different stories and organise objects in different ways. 💻🌟

🌟 Thank you Next Level Sports for a fantastic day where we tried golf and soft archery.🌟The children really tested their skills in these individual sports and I think we might have the next Tiger Woods or Robin Hood! ⛳️ 🏹

Kestrels have become budding thespians today in history! 🎭

As part of our Anglo-Saxon unit, we have looked at their justice system. Each group was given a punishment to act out and the rest of the class had to guess what it was. The children LOVED learning about punishment but were not keen when Miss Richards suggested using some of them today at school! 🤣

Kestrels have loved joining Joe Wicks in his mental health awareness week live lesson 🏃‍♀️

We are excited to share that wraparound care is coming to Burntstump!🥳 On June 2nd, we can offer Breakfast club, activity club and complete afterschool provision (inclusive of activity club). Contact school for more details!

Kestrels have done some amazing science learning this afternoon about seed dispersal. They have learnt about the 5 ways seeds get disperse and in groups created informative posters that we can put around our forest school area and our vegetable garden 🪴 🪏 💨 💧 🐕

We love a game in Kestrels 🥳 We have been practising our addition and subtraction as well as our multiplication and division tug of war style!

Over the next two days, Kestrels are learning to enhance their character description. Today we have written a character description and read it to a partner while they drew from our writing. Tomorrow Miss Richards will put some into an AI tool and show us if our description is detailed enough.

Super exciting 🌟✏️

Music in Kestrels yesterday! We have been exploring body percussion rhythms inspired by the rainforests. 🎵 🐅 🐘
