Our resident brood of blue tits are almost ready to embark on their first flight and fledge the nest. Both parents have been tirelessly feeding their family of four and have not only done an incredble job as committed parents, but have also provided a wonderful spectacle for the boys and girls.
Blast off for the Kilburn Junior Cycle and Scootathon
The challenge for this year's Cycle/Scootathon was for the children to collectively cycle or scoot 107 miles, the distance from Derby to the Derbyshire Children's Holiday Centre in Skegness.
The event was organised in conjunction with the Cosy Bike and Hike in support of the DCHC and Derby Kids Camp and on the very first day, our upper school led the charge, completing 839 laps of the school.
On the hottest day of the year so far, the lower school took the reigns and toiled in the heat to complete a further 852 laps which gave us a final total of 1691 laps.
Overall, this meant that altogether the children cycled or scooted a staggering 281 miles- the distance from Derby to Edinburgh!
What an incredible achievement and terrific example of the EMBARK Core Value of Teamwork.

Football Superstars
We had further sucess on the football pitch today, finishing runners-up in the AVSSP Football Plus Tournament at Swanwick Sports College.
The team played incredibly well, demonstrating their silky skills and dogged determination and we are incredibly proud of the way they represented both themselves and the school.
Cycling Club
After today's Cyclathon at school, the children still had enough energy for tonight's Cycling Club and after practising a few skills, they participated in a number of grass-track events on the school field.
Thanks Nathan for your help and coaching.
A perfect end to a perfect day.
