Lots more photos to share with you today from throughout the week. 

Last Sunday, staff, children and families attended the Remembrance Day service and parade held in Kington and we were very proud of our three Year 6 pupils who placed the wreath on behalf of our school.

Year 6 then led our Remebrance assembly on Monday using some clever silhouette drama to bring their own WW1 letters home from the Western Front to life.

We also held a Multi-Faith day on Wednesday (as well as Forest School for Year 5) where the children moved around the classes learning all about the festivals that are important to different religions and how they are celebrated.  There was lots of craft activities and discussions going on in school including some very delicious Challah bread that Year 1 and 2 made which Jewish communities make to celebrate Shabbat.

Congratutulations to our very worthy Headteacher Sticker winners today - they were so proud to earn their award and have all been demonstrating peace in their behaviour this week in school. 

Thank you to all our families for helping us to take part in Children in Need today - we raised over £190 for a very good cause indeed. 

Have a lovely, peaceful weekend and take care.

What an amazing way to end our half term!  This week, we've had our first set of Enrichment days; a wonderful House team singing competition (narrowly won by Ireland); two of our Year 6 pupils were presented with our Platinum School Games Award at a very special awards ceremony at Whitecross High School and our School Council visited Little Orchards Nursery to build some community links. 

As if that wasn't enough for one week, today, our football and netball teams played so well against the other six schools who took part in the Mitchell Hamer tournament this morning - we were very proud as they all represented the school brilliantly. Thank you to LHS for lending us their field, Mr Ward-Willis and Mrs Welson for organising the whole event and to Mr Spencer and Mr and Mrs Hughes for helping out. 

Back in school, we had our first Achievement assembly of the academic year and everyone was so proud of their certificates. Well done to you all!  Grace won the Voucher prize draw for this half term and the class attendance award was won by Year 5 with a very impressive 97.4%.

You may have noticed that all the children came home today with a packet of bulbs that have very kindly been donated by Tony and Tracey from I Can Foster.  This is so that everyone can plant them now ready to enjoy the daffodils, crocuses or tulips that come up in the spring time. Thank you!

We send all our love and best wishes to Miss Minett and her husband-to-be for their wedding next week. Year 5 children and staff loved holding a special 'wedding ceremony' for her this afternoon followed by a fun party and cake!

Finally, thank you to you all for your support. It has been lovely to see so many of you at Parent's Evenings this week and we really appreciate how much you work with our staff to support your child in school.

Have a fantastic half term break and we will see you back in school on Monday 4th November.

What glorious weather to finish our week with!

We had a super start to the week with our Harvest assembly at St. Mary's. Thank you to Mr Sell and Miss Edwards for making us all feel so welcome.

Today our school has hosted the 'Selina Cup' which is our football competition for Y5 and Y6 girls. Our two teams represented our school so well and demonstrated our school values in every match that they played. Special thanks go to Mr. Ward-Willis who organises this tournament and to LHS for allowing us to play on their pitches and for letting us have some of their fabulous students as the referees. 

In school we have been excited to see our new playground shelter taking shape and we are all so pleased with how it is looking. Thank you so much to the Friends of KPS and the Co-op for helping us to raise funds to build it!

In our assembly, Mrs. Welson shared information about the BBC 500 words story competition which has been launched and showed everyone how there is information on the school website (supporting the curriculum) for any of our brilliant story writers who would like to enter.

Our weekly attendance award went to Year 2 for 100% weekly attendance!

Our stickers this week were awarded for such important and wonderful reasons including super behaviour, being excellently engaged in their own learning, contributing more in lessons, great reading and maths work and for being a kind, encouraging friend.

We hope that everyone has a super weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.

We have had such a lovely busy day in school today and we were all so happy to see the sunshine this afternoon! Our Headteacher stickers were awarded this week for a variety of amazing reasons including children who are showing that are ready to learn and do their best in lessons, for excellent progress with phonics and reading and for super problem solving in maths. Other reasons included for showing brilliant friendship qualities and for being a very kind person. Congratulations to you all.

This week we said 'Well done' to Year 2 whose class attendance was the highest last week and they enjoyed their extra playtime.

Year 3 and a group of Year 4 visited Kington Court this morning and shared a Harvest song and some animal poetry with the residents and their families. We had such a lovely warm welcome and can't wait to visit again.

Have a great weekend everyone and we look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

It was super to see so many familiar faces at Kington Show and we had many visitors who wanted to say 'Hello' and try one of the lovely activities which Mrs Palfreman had organised. Next week we will find out how Years 2 and 4 did in the competitions which they entered at the show.

We have had an amazing week across school. We have been able to say 'Congratulations' to all of our new Year 6 House Captains, we know that they are going to do a terrific job this year. Across school, we have all been working so hard on our values of friendship and kindness, with many of our values tickets being awarded.

This morning, we were able to celebrate the many wonderful reasons for children being chosen for a 'Headteacher sticker' . It was so lovely to hear about the hard work going on in maths lessons, phonics sessions and swimming. There were also children who are always showing a positive attitude in whatever they are doing and others following our 'Ready, Respectful, Safe' rules so well. In our assembly, we also introduced our new weekly attendance award, which will mean that the class with the highest overall attendance for the previous week, will be able to have 15 minutes extra playtime during the Friday. Everyone was very excited by this news and our first class to have this award were Year 4!

Year 4 have had a very busy week as they also had the opportunity to work with Steve and Ingrid from 'Hands Up' thinking about how important water is to us all.

We hope that everyone has a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you all on Monday.
