Carol Concert
Once again the Junior School presented a truly sensational Carol Concert on Thursday 14 December. An enthusiastic audience enjoyed the traditional carols and readings by Oliver Kollard, Grace Livesey, James Shuttleworth, Ben Firth, Alexa Anderson, Evie Mellon and April Wright. It was wonderful to welcome our School Chaplain, Reverend Bunday, who shared his thoughts for Christmas with us and Mrs Roberts, along with some of our J4 children, reminded us of the importance of the Christmas message! The performances by the Orchestra, Handbell Ensemble, Vocal Ensemble, Junior Choir and Staff/Parent Choir wowed the audience, and the soloists sang beautifully. J1’s adaptation of the Christmas Story, using Shadow Theatre, was simply breathtaking! Afterwards, our guests enjoyed Christmas cake, mince pies and mulled wine; a wonderful way to finish off a very enjoyable evening and an excellent start to the festive season!Once again the Junior School presented a truly sensational Carol Concert on Thursday 14 December.

Nativity
This year’s Infant and Pre-School Production, ‘Christmas with the Aliens’, was brilliantly performed by all the Pre-School and Infant children with beautiful singing, professional acting and super dancing from all. The children looked absolutely amazing in their costumes and thoroughly enjoyed retelling the traditional Christmas tale in this very unique way! The performance was truly spectacular and enjoyed by all! Well done to everyone who took part. All of the photographs are available to view on our KGS Flickr page via Facebook and Twitter.
Christmas Craft Morning
On Thursday 14 December, the Pre-School children welcomed their grandparents into school for a Christmas Craft Morning with pottery expert, Jane Fox, from Fired 4U. It was a wonderful opportunity for grandparents to share some special time with their grandchild, while also getting an insight into what happens at school. The children were fully engaged during the activity and were able to express themselves by experimenting with colours, techniques and their own designs. While their artwork dried, everyone enjoyed festive snacks and a cup of tea! Marshmallow lollipops and Christmas biscuits, made by the children, were available to purchase during the morning in aid of our school charity, Classrooms in the Clouds.
Our KGS family ethos truly shone through!
