This week in School Council, we had the important task of giving our feedback on last week's 'World Maths Day' theme day. For this day, we all came to school wearing a number and we spent the WHOLE DAY doing exciting maths activities. We even had the 'Arithmagic' theatre company come and deliver a fantastically fun performance in our hall, so our activities in class had a 'magic' link as a result of this! Some classes were even lucky enough to spend some extra time with the visiting performers when they took part in additional workshops too! Anyway, at KEPS this half-term, we have been learning all about the theme of 'responsibility' in our weekly assemblies, and so part of our responsibility as School Council members is to share our views and feedback with the teachers. This also helps us learn about democracy, and the importance of everyone having a say! Today, we really impressed Miss Parsons with our thoughtful, reflective ideas and honest approach and deserve a big well done for our constructive feedback, which we're sure will make World Maths Day even better next year!

The side roads and pavements around the school site are packed down with ice and very slippy. Despite our site staff's sterling efforts clearing paths yesterday, the wind has blown the snow and we have some deep snow drifts around the school. 

Have a safe weekend and hopefully see you Monday. 

School Council members had a very important job this week, when they met with staff from the KEPS maths team to share their views on their daily Big Maths 'CLIC' sessions and weekly tests. They enjoyed the opportunity to give their own thoughts and opinions and did this in a very mature way. It was very useful for the teachers to hear and gave them lot to think about in their staff meeting this week!  Well done councillors!

This week in School Council, our meeting focused mainly on choices within our break-time tuck shop and possible ideas for after-school clubs.  Regarding tuck shop, we are going to be looking into possible healthy options that could be added to our daily menu - in-keeping with our Healthy School status, the majority of us also explained that we would like more fruit options to be available!  Many ideas for school clubs for next half-term were also discussed, including art, colouring, French and even science experiments!  These ideas will be shared with staff and looked into for the Spring 2 term!

Odd Socks Day – Monday, 13^th November 2017

 

Anti-Bullying week takes place 13^th – 17^th November this year. It has the theme ‘All Different, All Equal’. We would like to ask children to come to school wearing odd socks on Monday, 13^th November 2017, so we can explore these themes together.

 

Thank you for your support.

Uniform will be on sale from the school office between 10am and 12am on Tuesday INSET day.

We had lots of willing helpers to assist us with our big King Ed's litter pick on recycling day.  Thank you for all your help.

The travellers enjoyed a beautiful day with blue skies. They experienced their first activities. Because it is a carousel, and they rotate around the activities over the days they are there in the groups, they have completed different things. Mr Britton reports that the Caythorpe instructors have complimented King Ed's Kids on their positive 'have a go' attitudes. Well done Y3/4!

Tea was delicious with a wide range of choice, so something for everyone to tuck into. Campfire was good although a bit chilly. Good job that they have taken warm clothing.

Hopefully they all slept well and are raring to go with today's experiences.

For F2.  Starting 8.30am On Tuesday 21st February and taking place every Tuesday.

Sessions are a chance for you to come into school to read with your child. F2 staff are available to offer advice and support to help your child/children develop their reading skills and their love of books.
