In our annual wellbeing week, we were lucky to be able to welcome Sarah from Dogs Trust. Sarah spent three days in school and talked to all of the children about how to care for dogs safely. She taught the children how to approach dogs, how to stroke dogs and what a dog’s behaviour tells the children.

We have had a really positive Spring term so far at KMA.

We are proud to announce a significant milestone in our school’s development: the construction of a brand new Sports Hall. This exciting project is a testament to Leicester Grammar School Trust’s ongoing commitment to providing our pupils with exceptional facilities that enrich their educational journey.

Hello from Kibworth Parents Association (KPA). For those who haven’t heard of us we are a group of parent and teacher volunteers from Kibworth Primary School. We work together to create fun events for the pupils, fund raise for the school and help enhance the school community. We want to thank the Kibworth and District Chronicle for letting us include this column into the publication.

This half term has been a busy one at KMA.

Children at Kibworth CE Primary School live out the school value ‘Let Your Light Shine’ in so many ways. Most recently, Sophie, one of the Year 6 children, came up with a fantastic idea!

Foxton Primary School is delighted to announce the opening of its brand-new water play and loose parts area. This is a dynamic addition to its already stunning outdoor grounds, designed to inspire creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning. This innovative playscape, part-funded by the East Midlands Railway Community Fund, promises to transform playtime into an enriching educational experience. The newly constructed area incorporates a water pump, channels, and loose parts. It reflects the historical and geographical significance of the nearby Foxton Locks and canal system. Through this interactive environment, children will engage in imaginative play. Meanwhile they will learn about water flow and the rich history of their local community.

After Harborough Town’s FA Cup victory vs Tonbridge, Leonard, a Kibworth Primary School pupil, declared that, “I’m going to get a ‘pick in the box’ at school for really good reading.” A ‘pick in the box’ is a box of treats pupils at Leonard’s school are rewarded with  for very good work. Leonard continued, “I’m going to pick a trophy and give it to the Harborough Town keeper at the Reading match, to say well done for doing really well.” True to Leonard’s word, a few days later he returned home with the trophy he’d selected, which he’d earned for very good reading.
