  Our School Ambassadors were treated to hot chocolate before turning on the Christmas lights in town. There was a bit of time to have fun too as it was such a novelty being the only children in school so late! We had snow flurries during the day and a cold evening but it did not put them off singing along with the choir and then the really important job of lighting up Kington High Street. Christmas has begun.

  The children (and adults!) were treated to a wonderful show this afternoon.

   

  Everyone was entertained during this exciting adaptation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  There were songs,  jokes and fantastic dances that kept us all joining in.

   

  Thank you to the talented cast for their show, to our Friends committee for organising the event and use of the Football Club, and to all the children for making so much noise!

  Sunshine and smiles to end our week as we said well done to our oldest children for their achievements in swimming and to our Headteacher Sticker award winners for being amazing. There were several children this week who are showing brilliant skills and a fantastic attitude not only during the school day but at after school clubs and at home.

  We were also treated to music by one of our Year Five pupils who is learning the piano and performed beautifully.

  Another super week with a tortoise themed assembly led by Year Two that also included great ways to stay fit and keep active.

  Our netball team headed off to Lady Hawkins' for an inter-school tournament today. The winners qualify for the Herefordshire Winter Games but whatever the result we think they are a brilliant team, represent the school so well and are really supportive of each other. Good luck and more news on their achievements soon.

  I think today saw one of the first Headteacher Stickers given for amazing biology and being so knowledgeable about the digestive system! We also congratulated children for incredible spelling, writing, friendship and determination. All this and the children raising £253.74 for Children In Need. What a lot of spots! in school today. Thank you everyone.

  Sports Council lead our assembly today and shared with the whole school their new ideas for our lunchtimes.  Thanks to all the Sainsbury's vouchers collected and returned to school, we have been able to acquire some new playtime equipment.  Our Sports Councillors entertained us all with their ideas of games involving the new equipment. Year 3 & 4 are very excited to be the first classes to engage with these fantastic ideas and resources.  Thank you!

  Our mid week Headteacher stickers celebrated children who have reflected our November value of 'Honesty' as well as their quiet but positive contribution to their own learning and that of others. We also said a huge congratulations to one of our Year Six pupils who has achieved 500 house points. Her hard work and commitment to all aspect of school have resulted in this fantastic achievement. We are going to watch and see what her final end of year total might be!

  The whole school came together to think about Remembrance Sunday, Armistice and why we wear a red poppy at this time. Year Six shared with us letters from soldiers and their families, poems and poignant information. They led two minutes silence when the hall fell silent to remember.

  A group from Year Six then walked to the war memorial to think about their roles and responsibilities at the Remembrance Parade on Sunday.

  To finish the day our School Council members helped the Mayor of Kington officially declare the newly refurbished play park at the recreation ground open. They all joined together to cut the ribbon. A busy day at school to finish the week.

  Year Four shared with us a sample of the work they are doing in class. It included an amazing 'Clean School' rap, an electrical circuits demonstration, art work of fantastic Hindu temples and comparison work between the areas of Herefordshire and Guernsey.

  It was a lovely way to say a sad goodbye to Miss Patto who is leaving us to follow her really creative talents. We wish her lots of luck in her new ventures and will miss her.

  It was so lovely to be able to have two Headteacher Sticker assemblies in one week and congratulate so many children. Today we said well done for amazing handwriting, mathematics, writing, attitude and perseverance as well as acknowledging those children who had represented the school so well at Lady Hawkins' this week. We are so proud of them all.

  Running Club were able to make the most of a bit of sunshine and are certainly challenging themselves to run that bit further and bit faster. Well done.
