St Gabriel's Maths Challenge for invited pupils
Creation & Stewardship: We will think about why it is important to look after God’s wonderful world and how we can do this together.
Well done to 4 of our Year 4 pupils for taking part in the Year 4 Mathematics Challenge event at St. Gabriels. The children completed a variety of maths challenges deepening their maths understanding and working as a team to solve the tasks they were given.
Ash class made the most of the freezing weather this week to explore ice! We each made an ice charm, by choosing some items to submerge in water and then we left them in the garden overnight. We were really excited to see what our ice charms turned out like. It was fascinating to see them slowly melt throughout the day too! ❄️
It was fantastic to have so many of you in school today at our Reading and Phonics afternoon. The children enjoyed sharing their learning with you. Here are some of the activities that took place.
Well done to all the O2 choir who took part in an incredible day of performing in the world’s biggest children’s choir! A few snippets of some of the fun we had below.
Remembrance Service
Today, staff and children joined together in a service of remembrance and two-minute silence to remember the people who died in wars around the world and how Remembrance Day marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918.
Children sang songs linked to remembrance including, 'We will remember' and 'Say a little prayer'. Year 3/4 read, 'In Flanders Field, written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. Year 5/6 shared facts about Remembrance Day, Year 1/2 read a poem called 'Poppy Poppy' and Year R sang a Remembrance song. Each class made a poppy wreath and lay this at the front of the hall during the Collective Worship. It was a very special and reflective event for all involved.
We hope many of you may be able to join us on Sunday 13 November at the village remembrance event at St. Mary's, Kingsclere.
On behalf of the children, parents, staff and Governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to Kingsclere CE Primary School. Our new school website is designed to provide you with an insight to our daily life within our vibrant school. Our picturesque village offers us a wonderful setting in which to learn!
We are a thriving rural village school at the heart of the community, with a strong family-feel. We pride ourselves on our caring and friendly ethos, where everyone is encouraged to flourish by helping to nurture and develop all talents and gifts. We have a dedicated and professional staff team who work hard to provide every child with rich, exciting learning experiences. Our enquiry curriculum offers opportunities for children to engage, question and build their own ideas in order to become the best learners that they can be. We have high expectations of our children, of their academic attainment, their effort, behaviour and attitude. Our children know that they come to our school to learn.
As a school, we focus on ensuring our children develop the skills that will equip them to succeed in all aspects of their future life. This learning is supported by our excellent resources including IT equipment, library, extensive grounds and school kitchen. It is within easy walking distance of the village church which is regularly used for services and events. Our school swimming pool is open in the summer months to support our children in being able to learn to swim.
Our vision is underpinned by our spirituality and core Christian Values of Love, Courage and Respect. The ethos of our school, our curriculum, policies and practice, and all that we put into place for our community, grow from these roots. As a Church of England school, we welcome children and families of Christian faith, of other faiths and of no faith. We explore our understanding of the Christian faith through examining Christian Values. We believe this supports our children in understanding the importance of morals and core values to become responsible citizens within our world, their decision making both now and in the future.
Thank you for visiting our website, we look forward to welcoming you to our school. Please contact the school office on 01635 298583 to arrange a visit where you can meet our children and staff, and see our exciting curriculum in action – a first-hand experience is always the best one.
