Wow, what a weird yet wonderful array of costumes we had this year! Thank you so much for all your effort, what a fantastic way to end book week!

(Whole School Yoga Session run by ‘Happy at Heart Yoga’ 08/02/19)
Last week pupils took on the roles of kindness detectives to raise awareness for Children’s Mental Health Week. Each child in the school was given the name of someone in their class and embarked on a secret mission to do something kind for that person during the course of the week.
Acts of kindness included helping their classmates tidy their lockers and carry their bags as well as sharing pencils and helping each other in class. But it was not just the children who took part, as school staff also got involved in the week-long incentive too. Staff received letters of encouragement on their desks, had their favourite sandwiches bought at lunch and some even received bunches of flowers.
Other activities throughout the week included dress as an emotion day, exercise sessions and a brilliant parent talk from Place2Be outlining the effects of social media on mental health. KS is proud to have been the first Independent Private Day School to implement Place2Be onsite – the leading national children’s mental health charity.
On Friday the whole school participated in a yoga and wellness session, run by ‘Happy at Heart’ yoga to round off a successful week which left smiles on all the pupils faces!
On Thursday, seven pupils went to the Guard's Chapel to take part in a recording of a piece of music written for the centenary of the end of World War I by Major Simon Haw. They travelled by tube and had a great time in the studio. The children were hugely professional and very proud to take part in the event. They celebrated their success with a hot chocolate at the end!
Reception Visited the Science Museum on Thursday. They had an amazing time seeing the Destination Space interactive show where they got to see how to make fresh water on the International Space Station as well as finding out how the astronauts sleep!
This week our Year 3’s visited Kew Gardens on a beautiful, frosty day! They completed a ‘Plants and Products’ of the rain-forest workshop, which included some handy hints on how to survive in there!
The children went to Abbey Road to record the world premiere of ‘Believe’ by Major Simon Haw along with the Commonwealth Choir. It is a rousing, inspiring song about visualising and reaching for your dreams, and entirely appropriate for all children. The recording session was gruelling, but the children really did KS proud. They were outstanding ambassadors and the final product is going to be simply breath-taking.
On Monday 21st January, Sophie and Eman-Clara were invited to visit the Mayor’s Parlour to receive their prizes for winning the Road Safety Calendar competition. They attended with their families and Miss Maura where they represented KS beautifully. Well done girls!
