World Bee Day!
Today we celebrated World Bee Day! The children all looked fabulous in their costumes and managed to raise £90.10!
Team Endurance produced some superb art related to bees! They have also began to devise a plan for how we can help the community to become more bee friendly. Keep your eyes peeled for further information.
Viking Day Music Video!
I am pleased to announce that our Upper School Viking Day Music Video is now complete! It was a fantastic day, with the upper school children and staff being treated to a re-enactment of a Viking Funeral, by our terrific Trailblazers Team and to brilliant musical performances by our very own Team Endurance and Endeavour.
We hope you all really enjoy the video, featuring some of the highlights of the day and an incredible musical performance by the children in Team Endeavour.

Kilburn Junior School Lockdown Challenges are Back!
Today I am pleased to announce that the Kilburn Junior School lockdown Challenges are back and their bigger and better than ever before!
During the last national lockdown we set a series of sporting challenges, which we then featured in a montage on our YouTube channel and website. These were incredibly successful and I know many of you really enjoyed taking part. But this time we are going a step further with brand new challenges AND some fantastic prizes!
So I am pleased to announce our first challenge called 'The Great Outdoors'. This is a photography challenge where we challenge you to take a fantastic photo of the great outdoors.
This could mean taking photos of nature, the weather, outdoor hobbies or activities, it could be anything. As long as it relates to 'The Great Outdoors'. You don't even need an expensive camera to take part as phones and tablets will do a fantastic job!
You can submit up to 3 photos and we will be creating a virtual gallery on our website and displaying all of the submission on a brand new display in school. We will also be entering all submissions into a competition where the winner will have their photo printed on canvas by JSPhotography who have kindly sponsored our challenge.
To take part, simply take some photographs of the great outdoors and select up to 3 of your favourite images and upload them to this assignment page by Friday 12th February.
As always, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck, stay safe and we'll see you soon!
Remembrance Day 2020
At 11 O'Clock this morning, our Lower School children observed a minutes silence to mark this year's remembrance day. To mark the occasion, children from Team Courage read a selection of poetry that they have written in class, whilst children from Team Discovery read from a list of names present on the Kilburn war memorial.
We will remember them.
Team Resilience's Pop Art Gallery
Well done Team Resilience, you are nearing the end. Our last website post to showcase the great Pop Art work produced by Team Resilience, you have really been a creative team during lockdown and I have been so impressed by your hard work and creativity. Thank you to all of Team Resilience and their amazing families for completing the Google Classroom tasks and all the extra work to support their children. Have a well-deserved break and enjoy your Summer holidays.
Bug Hotels
As part of their home learning, Team Resilience have been busy finding out all about the classification of animals. They have reserached then created bug hotels for their visiting critters. Check out these deluxe five star hotels, including a hoverfly lagoon and ant enclosure, all carefully designed and measured using recycled materials. Another great piece of learning from Team R.
A big well done to Lewis for passing his Platinum times table award, fantastic determination.
Impeccable Poems
Another fantastic team effort from Resilience. For their writing task they were asked to produce a poem in the style of a poem called Monday's Child ... .They were able to choose any topic for their poem, read on to discover poems about puppies, food, guinea pigs, cats and gaming, to name just a few. Also, entries from parents too!
We hope you enjoy reading them.
Team Resilience Art and Poetry Gallery
Sit back, relax and view Team Resilience's amazing and creative Kandinsky inspired art work. Can you guess the insects that our children are decsribing in their poetry work?
Becky's Well Dressing
Fun was had by all creating a well dressing using leaves and petals collected from the school site to celebrate the beauty of nature. Mrs Herbert and Becky worked hard to collaborate on their submission to Mr Whiteman's new skills challenge.
Kandinsky Art Gallery
Team Resilience have risen to the challenge once again and produced some amazing art work. Based on the style of Kandinsky and linking to our work on angles, lines and shapes, our class have created their own interpretations with creativity, precision and skill. We can't go to the art gallery but the gallery can come to us! Enjoy our amazing artwork and watch this space for further pieces...
