Read below to find out more about some of the different activities we have been getting up to; from sporting and musical activities, to visitors and 'wow' days. We are looking forward to helping our children 'explore and grow' further in 2023-24.

• Kingswood Updates

  Thu 21 May 2015 M Davis

  Thursday 21st May 8.30am

  Another good night was had by all. Mrs Heywood is struggling to get them up for breakfast in the morning! Today is 'leap of faith' and Jacob's ladder, followed by archery, team challenge, then a lazer activity. All are having fun! Pictures can be found on the class 2 page.

   

  Wednesday 20th May 7.20am

  Mrs Heywood reports that the children are all being fantastic. Most were asleep last night before lights were out, and she had to wake them up this morning at 7am. The weather is bright and sunny and they are looking forward to caving and fencing this morning, followed by some problem solving before lunch. Photos should be forthcoming soon as the internet is now fixed!

   

  Tuesday 19th May 7pm

  Mrs Heywood reports that the children are being really good. The weather is see-sawing from glorious sunshine to torrential rain, but they are all having a wonderful time.

   

  Tuesday 19th May 1pm

  The latest text tells us that the children have been abseiling and orienteering this morning. The weather has been changeable! They will be doing bushcraft this afternoon. All are okay, and Mrs Heywood is hoping to get some photos onto the website later.

   

  Tuesday 19th May 8am

  Mrs Heywood has texted to say a good night was had by all and the children are all up and raring to go for their morning activities.

   

  Monday 18th May

  The children arrived safely, found their rooms and were off to their first activity.

   

• KS2 Bowls at Market Overton

  Wed 20 May 2015 M Davis

  This afternoon those KS2 who have not gone to Kingswood had the opportunity to visit Market Overton Bowls Club and try Bowls. We are very grateful to the Club for inviting us to try their sport.

   

  After a small amount of time learning the basics and developing some technique a small competition was held. All the children (and Mrs Davis!) tried hard. Congratulations to Bobby for receiving the winning trophy after a closely fought final with Isobel.

   

  We then retired into the club house for cake and squash. The cake was delicious!

   

  There was then an awards ceremony and the children were all given a goody bag to take away.

   

  The children all had a great time and it was a fun and relaxing sport. Lots of the children are interested in going again. This is a sport which is often seen as the domain of the older generation, but there is a great deal of skill involved and we all agreed that it is something that the whole family could enjoy.

   

  All the children who came should have bought home contact details for the club. Please ask at the office if you would like any further information, or if the contact details have been mislaid.

  

• Bingo-tastic!

  Sat 09 May 2015 M Davis

  There was a competitive atmosphere in the school hall last night at the Bingo. It was an evening of fun, cake, coffee, and even a little prize winning. It was lovely to bring together the children, parents and local community.

   

  Many thanks to FOEGS for organising the event, and to Wendy for coming and serving as Bingo Caller.

   

  The pictures below show some great faces of concentration!

  

• Our Mini Election

  Fri 08 May 2015 M Davis

  While the Conservative Party may be in power in the country as a whole, it was the Green Party that triumphed in the children's mini election at school! Their policies of no SATs and no phonics assessments were very popular with the children.

   

  Mrs Owen led an assembly where each of the major parties were represented by members of year 6 and were able to outline some of their policies. After the vote, the Green party had the biggest vote, although they were going out to play to negotiate a coalition as they didn't quite have the majority.

   

  It was great that the children were so interested and involved in what was an important day for the country. There were lots of discussions throughout the day about how Parliament worked and what situations led to a coalition government.

   

  There were also some very impassioned comments from some of our Key Stage 2. Some future politicians in the making?
