Kells children have just started a programme of Friday Enrichment each Friday afternoon. The whole school is working together, with older children supporting and guiding the younger children in a variety of tasks. The younger children are learning a lot from the older children, with everyone really enjoying working together. So far the children have done a treasure hunt, outdoor art and outdoor maths.
Kells children had great fun at Easter, decorating eggs and then rolling them in the field behind the school. Ellie from P1-3 and Sophie H from P4-7 won the egg decorating competition with our good friends and supporters Mrs MacIntosh and Mrs Brydson judging. Again many thanks to Mr Maxwell for allowing us to go up to the rocky hill behind the school for our annual egg roll.
The P1-3 class had a very enjoyable afternoon on Tuesday 27th March baking Easter Muffins with Jackie. The children had fun measuring out ingredients, cracking eggs, stirring and beating the batter and making delicious lemon icing. the eating of the muffins was the best part. Many thanks once again to Jackie for giving up her time to give the children at Kells the experience of cooking.
Kells held their annual Musical Café to raise money for school funds. Both classes performed musical items to entertain their parents, relatives and friends of the school. £438.08 has been raised this month. Well done to all involved!
Here are some picture highlights of the afternoon.
P5-7 performed ‘Silent Night’ for parents and friends of Kells on Thursday 15th December. The show told the story of how the well-known song was composed. P1-3 were the opening act and sang a medley of Christmas songs. They also joined the P5-7 pupils on stage for the Nativity tableau finale.
Here are some photographs of the children in action.
