Year 6 Beat the Heat!
Year 6 take to the playground to beat the heat in the recent hot weather, with water bottles in hand, furniture placed in the shade and the breeze to keep on learning in comfort! Nothing can stop these children from their learning! Adapt, improvise, overcome!
Cyclists Finish in Style
The Kilburn Junior School Cycling Team finished the season in style at tonight's AVSSP Individual Go-Ride Competition.
In blazing temperatures, the boys and girls competed with immense determination and resilience in the grass-track races at Charles Hill Playing Fields and the final results saw Rose and Elliott finishing in second place whilst Isla was crowned champion in first position.
A great team effort and thank you once again to coach Miller for your help, coaching, sustenance, refreshments, trophies and incredible goodie bags for the girls and boys.

This week in Trailblazer - WC 06/07/26
Coooooo…she’s been a warm one this week…even down in the wood…the grass is looking brown and one or two of the trees are looking a little dehydrated. The pond is also looking really low, but that’s not putting off the emperor dragonflies that are drifting about hunting and laying their eggs – wonderful to see.
Interestingly, this year we have an infestation of iris-sawfly caterpillars on the water-irises…there seem to be hundreds of them, systematically eating the leaves, leaving only the central vein standing – hopefully, they will buzz off soon (see what I’ve done there?!) and allow the plants a little respite.
Lower School have started their sessions this week with either orienteering (they made their own maps and set out their own courses) or a challenge focusing on birds; the children had to read 12 descriptions of 12 common UK birds and match the description to a picture.
Following this, some children have undertaken a hedgehog challenge (make a model of a hedgehog and then build it a shelter), others have undertaken drama based on the book ‘Hungry Harry’, with a final few foraging for edible flora and using it to make a delicious, nutritious soup (dandelion, cleavers, hawthorn, Jack-by-the-hedge, lambs tongue, nettles and broad-leaf plantain).
Upper School have started their sessions with a forager challenge (FC) – 25 items that we have used this year to be collected as quickly as possible (alder cones, maple helicopters and alike)…as of writing this, Maddy in Endeavour is in first place but there are two classes to go.
Following this, some have undertaken a KJS Hajj (supporting RE in class), others have finished Greek pottery and Rota boards, a few have put final touched to Odyssey puppets with the remainder learning about and building mosques!
Thrown in the mix we have also been playing hide and seek and lurgie…both firm, school favourites.
