  A really exciting week finished celebrating the children receiving their Achievement Certificates. There was a theme of friendship, positivity, determination and fantastic attitude to work and school. We also congratulated our netball team for their fantastic win at the Credenhill tournament and the football team for playing brilliantly. It has been another super term and we look forward to celebrating with the children again during the Summer Term. We wish everyone a good Spring Break.

  

• Year 5 Moving Targets Dance Performance

  Tue 27 Mar 2018 Mrs Bretherton
  Year 5 had a wonderful time at The Courtyard Theatre tonight, taking part in an amazing dance show with 13 other primary schools from around the county.  Their dance to the 'Eye of the Tiger' was absolutely brilliant and everyone really enjoyed the whole experience.  Well done for all your hard work.  Please look on the Year 5 class page for more photos.

  Today's assembly was like an Achievement Assembly; we had so many reasons to congratulate our amazing children. 

   

  Congratulations to 'Ireland House' for winning the Caleigh Dance Inter-House Competition.  Every house danced brilliantly and the judges had a difficult decision to make.  We have uploaded the winning dance to our Video Resource Centre.

   

  As normal, we congratulated children from each class for their accomplishments and achievements this week, as spotted by their class teachers and adults. There were so many fantastic reasons and values.

   

  We also congratulated some of our Year 4 children who competed in a local Spelling Bee competition.  The children have been working extremely hard learning their word lists and we are delighted to have come first and second place!  We will proudly be the first winners to have our name inscribed on the trophy.  A special congratulations to Elodie, who was the overall individual spelling champion.

   

  Today's assembly was also a chance to congratulate the many children who have achieved 100% attendance this term.  Two lucky children have won free club entries to Super Stars Easter Holiday Club and our upcoming Science Club respectively.

   

  This week was Sport Relief Week and on behalf of the whole school, we thank our Sports Councillors for organising a very successful raffle and running lunchtime activities for the children.  We will let you know how much money has been raised and donated to Sport Relief - thank you all!  In assembly, we drew the raffle and there were some fantastic prizes won and some very happy children.  Our Sports Councillors also chose someone from each class who they felt has been very sporty and active this week.

   

  Continuing on a sport theme, well done to some of our Year 5 & 6 children who took part in a tag rugby competition at Luctonians.  Our team played some fantastic rugby and narrowly missed out on progressing through the quarter finals.

   

  A very busy week - with Science Week next week still to come!

  Today we met several new people;  Firstly Jan and Hannah, who are German students visiting the area and local schools.  Secondly, our children met Paul Baines, who has created a sculpture called 'Road Spill'.  Finally, in assembly, we met some Ancient Egyptians.

   

  It was great welcoming Jan and Hannah to the school, who will be back again tomorrow to spend time with Year 5 & 6 and Nursery.  Today they spent time with 3 & 4 and 1 & 2.  It was great seeing the children ask so many questions and learning new words - our visitors were very impressed.

   

  Paul Baines's piece of art was a great inspiration as we have set our own challenge for our children over the Easter holiday to create their own piece of art using recycled materials.  We can't wait to see what the children come up with!  All of the materials Paul used in his work were found in and around Kington and it was an interesting wake-up call for many.

   

  Year 4 shared a very funny assembly today in which they shared with the school how people were mummified in Ancient Egyptian times.  The children did a great job at entertaining the school through their acting and their catchy Tutankhamun song.  Year 3 are going to be sharing some more Egyptian work after the holiday.

  

• Luctonians Tag Rugby Festival 2018

  Wed 21 Mar 2018 Mrs Bretherton
  Thank you to the whole team who represented KPS today at the Tag Rugby Festival.  Everyone played really well and it was great to see their confidence grow throughout each game.  We came third in our section (won 1, drew 1 and lost 2) and so we went on to play Trinity in the Bowl quarter-final which we only just lost!  Great effort from all and huge thanks to Phil Edwards from Greyhounds Rugby Club who has run a Tag Rugby club after school as well as sessions in school.

  We had our 4th Enrichment Day of the year and the children were engaged in a number of excellent activities.  The children enjoyed being in their mixed aged groups and produced some fantastic dramas, art work, food and animations.  Children also learned more about the UK and played some great multiplayer sports.

  We had two very special visitors to assembly today. The Reverend Lady Lisvane was accompanied by Mrs Banks and the children were delighted to hear a little about the role of the High Sheriff and be presented their Headteacher Stickers by someone so important. We are so pleased that they were able to join us. Congratulations to the children for their achievements this week.

  Fri 09 Mar 2018 Mr D Perkins

  We held our World Book Day today.  Although it was a week later than planned, it was worth waiting for to see how much effort our children had put into their costumes and characters.  Many children have read with their Buddy Classes today and shared a good book.

  Our Head Teacher Award sticker assembly was hard to get used to, with so many costumed characters walking up the hall to collect their stickers and House Point badges.  We also thanked our two student teachers; Mr Davies, who was been working with Year 1 and Miss Davies, who has been working in Year 4. 

  Well done to you all for making it a great, fun day!

  It was a difficult decision to have to keep the school closed today.  However we are extremely grateful to all the staff, members of the community and Maurice Hazelman, of KBS, for giving up their morning to help clear the school playground and site.  A special mention for Mr Welson, who came in over the weekend too! Time for a well deserved cup of tea!

   

  We are looking forward to opening Tuesday 6th March.
