King's Hedges Primary School

Our Year 5 and 6 children recently took part in two competitive fixtures and represented the school brilliantly. Regardless of the final results, the pupils demonstrated all of the qualities we value so highly at our school: teamwork, resilience, respect and determination. They supported one another throughout, showed great effort and enthusiasm, and displayed excellent sportspersonship at all times. We are extremely proud of the way they conducted themselves and the positive attitude they brought to both matches.

Reception have started their year off with a bang! They have been exploring Festivals and Celebrations from all around the world. They started by thinking about birthdays, and the children loved talking about how they celebrate their own birthdays with presents, cake and even balloons. They then went on to think about weddings, some children had been to a wedding recently and shared their experiences with the class. Their focus then moved onto specific cultural and/or religious celebrations such as Eid, Diwali and Lunar New Year. The children enjoyed making lanterns for Lunar New Year, Diwa Lamps for Diwali and designing a prayer mat for Eid.
