Our School Value for May is Cooperation.
Our Core Values: Hope, Trust, Courage & Perseverance, Respect, Cooperation, Responsibility, Kindness & Friendship, Honesty, Peace and Understanding.
We explore our core values in our school and class assemblies and look out for them in our daily practice, earning Values Vouchers and Beads as we go.
It was a lovely end of term today, as the school was filled with Christmas jumpers and colours - raising money towards Save the Children. In total, combining the money raised today and the money from the Early Years and Key Stage One performance, we raised £276 - thank you everyone.
We also had a great Achievement Assembly today, packed with a range of successes. We congratulated children for achieving their House Point badges, Achievement Certificates, gaining 100% attendance for the whole term and also gave prizes to some lucky winners for earning 'green cards' at break and lunch plays. Congratulations to Year 6 and Year 3 for being joint winners for the class attendance challenge.
After a short break, we returned to the hall for Key Stage 2 to share some of their Christmas Concert - with Year 6 children reading the story of Babushka, while Year 3 acted out the story in their fantastic costumes.
From everyone at Kington Primary School, we wish you all a very happy, safe and special Christmas holiday. We look forward to seeing you all back at school on Wednesday 3rd January 2018!
We are so pleased that we were able to have our Christmas Party Day. It has been a bit difficult this week with all the snow but today the children were very happy enjoying fun and games, quizzes and challenges, crafts and of course a super party lunch.
We were also able to enjoy some of the carols and songs that had been planned for our Carol Concert. It was lovely to have so many parents join us to sing and celebrate.
It was so lovely to see people queuing outside the school gates this morning; waiting in anticipation for the Nursery and Reception Christmas ‘Jiggly Nativity’. The rest of the school are really looking forward to watching it on Friday morning. We will have some photos to share then.
This afternoon children from Year 1 & 2 shared their Nativity dress rehearsal with the rest of the school. It was a fantastic performance by all involved, capturing the story and message of Christmas perfectly. The words were spoken clearly and the songs were very catchy. Thank you Key Stage 1!
The children in KS1 are performing again for their families on Thursday and to keep the element of surprise, photos from today will be shared after the parents' performance tomorrow.
A new month brought many reasons for us to be excited in assembly today.
Together we congratulated several children for receiving their all important House Point badges, others for their swimming achievements, some children from Year 5 & 6 who took part in a local Spelling Bee competition, as well as the majority of Year 6 who have recently completed their Bikeability training. And that was all before we had heard about the two children from each class who had been spotted by their class teachers for something exceptional. This week's children were celebrated for a number of qualities including cooperation, hard work, being excellent role models, fantastic presentation of work and even just being so smiley!
A lovely way to end the week - congratulations to you all!
