Welcome to the Kestrels class page!
Welcome to Year 3/4, we are the Kestrels and are pleased to welcome you to our class- we have had a great start to the term so far. Look under the curriculum pages to see what we will be learning.
We are all ready to follow our school vision.
We are learning to:
Be learning leaders (Be Ready and Be Kind)
Be Articulate Adventurers (Be Curious)
Be Global Guardians (Be Safe and Responsible)
Kestrels are encouraged to thrive and develop to become independent lifelong learners. We cover a broad and balanced curriculum that is aimed to complement our curriculum drivers- Articulate Adventurers, Global Guardians and Learning Leaders.
