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.
We always enjoy the opportunity to make the curriculum just that little bit more exciting for the children and our Enrichment Days are certainly that with the children working with classes from across the school and exploring new things. The activities give them the chance to talk through ideas and learn together. There is always a special buzz around school.
The children have also been talking about their super London Residential trip so we have included a couple of photographs with many more in our website 'Gallery.' Learning really is fun.
We held Achievement Assembly on a slightly different day today but it was still a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the special children who, over the last half term, had worked on a whole range of aspects of learning across all areas of the curriculum. Many of the children were also acknowledged as being great role models. We also said congratulations to children who had achieved their first swimming badge, those who represented us in Herefordshire Puzzle Day and the teams that played brilliantly in an Inter-School tennis tournament. We all sung our 'Well Done' song as an acknowledgement of all the children in school. Congratulations everyone.
This afternoon our singing group visited Kington Court to share some of their favourite songs and to chat to the residents. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Today we congratulated a number of our children with Headteacher Awards. This week's choices saw a group of children picked out for their input towards Sports Day: either by their excellent performances on the day; or for their contributions to the whole team effort.
However, we were also keen to find out who had been drawn to be the Prince and Princesses of the Kington Festival. Thank you to all the Year 6s who put themselves forward. Congratulations to our lucky ones this year and thank you again to the Kington Festival Committee for coming in to present the lovely buttonhole, flowers and tiaras.
Today showcased a brilliant morning of sport, as we held our Sports Day up at Lady Hawkins'. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and everyone should be very proud of theirselves. Thank you to everyone for their part: adults for organising; parents & families for supporting and the children for making it so exciting to watch.
Below are the winners of the class medals, the Key Stage 1 trophy, the Key Stage 2 trophy & shield as well as the Victor and Victrix winners from Year 6.
Many (many!) more photos from the day can be seen in our Gallery page.
