This week in Team Resilience, we have continued to read Bill's New Frock and our writing task was to produce an advert for the 'Wumpy Choo'. This was not a fluffy toy or pet dog as Bill once thought, it was actually a one penny chew! Who knew sweets were so cheap in the 1980s when the book was written?
After a planning session and working on our persuasive writing techniques, here is just a sample of our tasty work. Enjoy!
This afternoon, our Lower School children left the comfort of their classrooms to dig up a long forgotten Time Capsule. The Time Capsule - buried in 2012 as part of our celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee - had laid undisturbed for 8 years. We held our breath as it was finally unearthed.
In a scene reminiscent of an episode of Time Team, we eagerly awaited to see if the contents had survived being buried for almost a decade. Luckily, we weren't disappointed.

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.
This is Team Resilience working away at five minutes past nine this morning. It's brilliant to see so many enthusiastic early birds, all eager to read and engage with their learning from the moment they arrive. Keep up the great work everyone, that marble jar is looking incredibly full again!
As we prepare to start an exciting new year at Kilburn Junior School, we would like to start by sharing some of our fantastic new videos with you, introducing our school and hopefully answer any questions you may have.

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.
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.
