Select the image below to view a gallery of the children at work.
This term's Lower School topic at has been rounded off in spectacular fashion this week with our climate change exhibition which opened on Wednesday 16th February.

Our exhibition will be open to parents before and after school on Thursday and Friday (17th and 18th February). Don't miss it!

Congratulations to the Year 3 and 4 children who competed in the Amber Valley School Sports Partnership dodgeball competition on Tuesday evening. They certainly had a lot of fun and we are all very proud of the sportsmanship and determination that they displayed during the competition. They played magnificently and finished the evening as runners up. Well done Team Kilburn!
Over the Term, Team Courage have been learning to play the Djembe, an African goblet drum.
The children have had weekly lessons with Mr Henderson and Claire, from the Derbyshire Music Partnership in which they have learned a variety of rhythm patterns to accompany songs from different cultures and have composed their own patterns too.

On Wednesday 17th November, our Year 3 experienced their first trip at Kilburn Junior School and what a trip it was! They stepped back through 50,000 years of Human history to experience what life was like in Ice Age Britain. They enjoyed building shelters, learning how to hunt for wild animals using a spear and how to start a fire using flint and iron pyrites! They also learned about different types of rock and how they are formed.
They then visited a cave where evidence of Stone Age Humans has been discovered and they learned all about the wild beasts that roamed there during the Ice Age. They even held a stone axe that is over 40,000 years old!
