The week before half term was very busy starting with the year 4 children visiting the Egyptian Exhibition in London. Travelling by train and the tube was a great adventure and for some children a whole new experience. Although a little tired, the children were buzzing the next day telling everyone about their experiences and what they had found out.

We were all excited to hear that both our year 5 and 6 Kwik cricket teams got through to the County finals in Newton Abbot. Sport is a strength at Kentisbeare School but, along with swimming, cricket is a passion! I might go along to support.

On Thursday a group of year 3/4 children went to visit our friends at Shaftsbury School in Newham. For some of these children it was their second visit to London this week. They all stayed overnight and had a fantastic time. I'll post some photos soon and I' sure Miss Dudley and Mrs Thompson will put more on the website.

The children that didn't go to London went with Mrs P to a Bio-science Day at Exeter University. They too had a great day being 'mad scientists' and I think the teachers and adult helpers were equally excited.

Also in school Mrs Bastin organised a visit from African drummer, Denis. During the day he worked with different classes; telling stories of his childhood, facts about Africa and Uganda where he was born. He taught them songs and they all played the drums, loudly! Perhaps I should have warned the neighbours.

As you see here is always a lot going on at school.
