Chestnut – Nether Kellet Primary School

Water Fight

We all enjoyed our annual water fight to celebrate the year and cool off. Thank you to the PTA for our ice lollies.

Pencil Pots

Chestnut Class have been learning about structures and how they can be made more stable by using a wide base and adding weight to the base. We used our knowledge to design and build pencil pots.

Well done to all of the people who have been learning guitar this year and performed for us. You have worked so hard and did fantastically. If anyone else would like to start guitar lessons in September, please speak to Mrs Leahy in the office.

Lake District Trip

The whole school has had an amazing trip to the Lakes. We did lots of different forest school activities, explored the area, paddled, had a ferry tour of Windermere, a play in the playpark and even met some ducks!

Church Visit

Chestnut Class had a great visit to St.Marks Chapel in Nether Kellet this afternoon. We were visiting in connection with our RE focus this term on Christian symbols in our Christianity unit. The children were well behaved and enjoyed the singing and stories that Reverend Peter Hamborg told them.

Tree Paintings

Chestnut Class used their colour mixing skills to create tree pictures.

Drumming Workshop

Chestnut Class had a great djambe workshop and learnt some new songs.

Sports Day

The whole school enjoyed taking part in Sports Day, trying their hardest and persevering with every race.
