This Friday 18th November is Children in Need. It is a special cause which we hold in our hearts at Kings Road.

This year the children will be taking part in a variety of events. Younger children in Nursery and Reception will be making Pudsey biscuits, children in KS1 will be reading stories and creating story maps and KS2 will be working on recognising the different feelings and emotions and how important it is to look after our mental health as much as our physical health.

We will be fund raising and all money will go straight to Children in Need. It is such a worthy cause and we will be immensely grateful for your contributions. We are asking for £1 please.

This day will also be a non-uniform day and children can come dressed in spots, stripes or anything colourful!

Friday 21st October is called 'Show racism the red card' day.

It is a National Awareness Day to wear something red and stand united against racism.

This is a non-fundraising day so we are not asking for donations but an opportunity for us to show we support this fantastic day.
Children do not need to wear uniform on this day.

'Wear red. Change hearts. Change minds. Change lives.'

We look forward to inviting Grandparents to our school on the morning of Friday 21st October.

Timings are as follows;

Tours at 9.30am,
Tea and coffee at 10.30am
Finishing time 11.30am

It is World Mental Health Day Monday 10th October which is also known as #Hello Yellow.

Your child will have a wonderful day filled with lots of lovely conversations about their wellbeing and mental health. This is also a fantastic opportunity to fundraise and support the charity Young Minds. We would be very grateful for £2 donations or anything you can give.

But the most exciting part of the day is your child is invited to wear yellow on Monday! Wear your yellow socks, tops, trousers or dresses!

Thank you for your support as always.

On Friday 9th September we will hold a 'Be Me' day. This involves the children wearing any (appropriate) clothes that they think embraces who they are, it may be clothes that they are comfortable in or clothes that reflect their heritage, hobbies or religion. I ask that all children bring in at least £1 which we will then send to help those in Pakistan.
 

Day 2 of our Mantle and the children and staff are full of energy and excitement. So many challenges yet to come throughout the week to complete.

Sports' Day for Years 1 and 2 went very well. The children really enjoyed taking part in every activity. Thank you to all the parents that came to watch.
