Kelvin - K2

As a class we all brought in our own materials to make a camel. We split into four different groups and built four different camels. This helped us to team build and get to know each other better.

As a class we designed a class shield it was cool and we all loved it.

In the shield is a river to represent the river kelvin, a fish to represent knowledge and two crabs to represent power.

In this class we did activities to team build. These included: making a camel, designing a shield and doing a class quiz. This helped us to work together in a team and find out interesting things about each other.

K2 Achievements

In our class we have many talented pupils, achievements this year include:A champion ice skater, an international footballer, a horserider, junior footballers, skateboarders, musicians, actors, a prefect, a vice-captain and team leaders!
