Kestrels are bloggers!
Kestrels were busy updating the class blog before school closure, and also used the blog as a way of keeping in touch when school was closed - book club enjoyed their virtual meetings before Easter.
Please comment on our stories - but remember, be polite and considerate to others in the comments that you make. Hopefully we will now continue our blog to keep you updated on all the latest Kestrels news.
