Yesterday was #oddsocksday 🧦 Research has shown the most effective approaches to bullying are those which take whole school action. With that in mind, yesterday we held an anti-bullying assembly whilst wearing odd socks to show that we are all different. https://t.co/7RDvJ6x6wR https://t.co/zUoxvBl1XV

On Friday 6th November, the Year 4 children spent the day as Ancient Greeks! There were some fabulous costumes, and the children really got into the spirit of the day. They played some of the games that Greek children would have played 3000 years ago, and studied ancient architecture, producing some lovely observational drawing of Greek columns.

Yesterday was #oddsocksday 🧦 It is estimated a fifth of young people experienced bullying in 2019, while a global survey found England to be one of the worst countries for bullying. The long-term effects of bullying can be hugely damaging, so what can schools do about it? Research has shown that the most effective approaches to bullying are those which take whole school action and involving the whole school community. With that in mind, yesterday we held an anti-bullying assembly whilst wearing odd socks to show that we are all different. Head over to our latest News Story to see all of our odd socks and watch the assembly ⬇️ https://www.kingshottschool.com/210/current-news/post/285/we-are-all-different

Kingshott were invited to participate in the Hitchin Town Christmas Bauble initiative. As celebrations have been scaled back this year, the Hitchin BID has got creative in how to celebrate Christmas. They decided to give all local businesses the opportunity to purchase and decorate giant Christmas Baubles to be hung on the tree in the town square. 🌲 We have decorated 9 baubles which were dropped off at the Hitchin BID and will go onto the tree when it goes up this week! If you are in town and spot any of our baubles, do take a photo and send it in or post it to our Facebook or Instagram page. They all have some form of Kingshott branding on so hopefully you will be able to spot them! 🎅 More photos of the baubles are on our website here: https://www.kingshottschool.com/210/current-news/post/284/christmas-baubles

Today is World Kindness Day. #WorldKindnessDay is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. This day, celebrated on the 13th of November each year, has the purpose of helping everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together. This is something that is very important to us here at Kingshott. We wanted to help celebrate the day by making and sending some cheery messages to the residents of some of our local Care Homes who are perhaps finding things very tough at the moment. The whole school have made cards, poems, letters and pictures which have been split 5 ways between 5 of our local homes to let them know we are thinking of them. We have delivered to: Wymondley Nursing Home Foxholes Care Home Guysfield Residential Home Highbury Rise Care Home And Westbourne Residential Home Read our News Story to see all the photos ❤️ https://www.kingshottschool.com/210/current-news/post/283/world-kindness-day-kingshott-support-local-care-homes

Today, like many others, we had to change the way that we usually observe Remembrance Day. Mr Weston led the occasion with a reading and then two minutes silence followed by The Last Post played by one of our Year 6 boys on the euphonium. A wreath was then laid under the Wellingtonia with prayers being said and additional readings by our three school leaders. Mrs Payne filmed the ceremony which was live-streamed to all the classrooms enabling the whole school to feel part of the occasion. https://www.kingshottschool.com/210/current-news/post/281/virtual-remembrance-2020
