Kingfisher Primary School - 2024-2025
Christmas!
As is tradition at Kingfisher, our Christmas tree is decorated by our pupils whose parents serve in the Armed Forces. Along with Mrs Streetin, pupils who attend Dandelion Club did an excellent job in making the tree look extra special!
Pudsey Bear
Following on from our Children in Need non-uniform day in November, we were very lucky to have Pudsey Bear visit us during Celebration Assembly following a successful Children in Need campaign.
SNOW!
Who doesn't love a bit of snow - well we certainly do at Kingfisher. Although relatively short-lived, the children managed to enjoy some time in the snow before it disappeared. For some of our pupils, who are new to the country, this was their first experience of snow!
Sporting Successes
Mid-November was a very busy time for sport at Kingfisher as our Y5/6 pupils took part in two big sporting events.
Our Y5/6 football team were unbeaten and finished 2nd in their tournament beating Chard School 8-0, East Coker 1-0, Tintinhull 4-0 and draws against Countess Gytha and High Ham!
Kingfisher was also represented at the Netball tournament this week and returned victorious as tournament WINNERS! Well done to all involved.
Remembrance Day 11.11.24
Mr Glentworth led our Remembrance assembly where all staff and pupils attended. Children learned about Remembrance in class and assembly was finished with a special prayer from Rev. Sarah. We value the significance of Remembrance as a time to honor those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present. Through learning about Remembrance, our pupils develop an understanding of the importance of peace, gratitude, and resilience. It is an opportunity to reflect on the lessons of history, foster a sense of unity, and instill respect for the values of freedom and democracy that shape our society. By engaging in Remembrance activities, we help pupils appreciate the importance of remembering and learning from the past.
Bikeability for Year 5 and Year 6
At Kingfisher, we believe in equipping our pupils with essential life skills, and Bikeability plays a vital role in achieving this. This national program provides children with the confidence and practical skills to cycle safely and responsibly, both on and off the road. By participating, our pupils learn the importance of road safety, develop independence, and foster a healthy, active lifestyle. Bikeability not only empowers children to travel sustainably but also supports their overall wellbeing and confidence in making safe choices in their everyday lives.
Rock up and Read
Each half-term, we invited parents and carers into school to read with their child. Our sessions are becoming more and more popular with parents, grandparents and younger siblings all enjoying books together.
Diwali - Drama Workshops
As part of our commitment to enriching our RE curriculum, each class in school enjoyed a drama workshop based on the Hindu celebration of Diwali. The workshops were run by West End School Company and were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
World Mental Health Day
Our school turned yellow as we celebrated World Mental Health Day. Promoting children’s mental health and physical health are a big part of what we do at Kingfisher. Look at this very cool personalised t-shirt with a very important message. It was lovely to have our new Associate Vicar, Sarah, in school leading her first whole school assembly. Her theme was based around mental health as we celebrated together.
Careers Day 2024
On Tuesday 8th October, Kingfisher held their first Careers' Day where pupils and staff dressed as 'What they wanted to be when they were older.' The day was full of activities where learning was focused on career-based skills. The day started with an assembly where guest speakers spoke about their career. The general manager and a mechanic from Land Rover Yeovil, Anna, a fashion designer who now works in marketing for Screwfix and a Mental Health Nurse from the NHS all spoke about their roles, what they entailed and why they liked them.
Harvest Festival
At the end of September, we celebrated Harvest Festival at Kingfisher. Our school community, once again showed their incredible generosity with all donations going to The Lord’s Larder in Yeovil. All classes led poems in assembly with some wonderful singing too!
European Day of Languages 2024
In September, pupils across school and nursery celebrated the European Day of Languages. Classes paired up to learn about the language, culture, food and history of chosen countries. The European countries chosen were France, Spain, Germany and Italy.
Brympton Parish Council - School Awards
We were very proud to nominate three pupils for the Brympton Parish Council School Award this year. The fantastic trio rasied over £250 for MacMillan Cancer Research by completing the Yeovil Marathon Fun Run.

Year 6 work with artist, Darrell Wakelam
Pupils in Year 6 worked with visiting artist, Darrell Wakelam, in February to create a wonderful piece of art which displays our school motto of 'Be the best you can be.' They used their art skills along with skills in resilience, creativity and collaboration to create this excellent final piece.
WORLD BOOK DAY 2024
Children and staff at Kingfisher Primary School, fully embraced World Book Day and came dressed for school in some spectacular costumes. The day started with a Whole School assembly where the children received a message from author, Sarah Oliver. As a school, all children will work with Sarah to create our own picture book which will be published in the summer term. Throughout the day, children engaged in a variety of activities aimed to promote reading for pleasure. The day concluded with our half-termly ‘Rock up and Read’ sessions, where parents came into school and shared a book with their child.
World Book Day
A special visit...
Just before Christmas, all pupils from nursery and school gathered on the playground and looked up to the skies to see if they could spot some very special visitors. We were incredibly lucky to have a navy helicopter land on our school field, with two of Santa's special helpers from RNAS Yeovilton on board who collected letters written by the children to Father Christmas.
Friday 6th October saw our first Family Learning session of this year, with visiting artist, Darrell Wakelam, leading an art session with our Y3 pupils and their families. 18 parents/grandparents were in attendance for the Roman mask making morning which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Outdoor learning is in full swing this autumn. Year 6 have been exploring the school environment, identifying and classifying living things. Pupils in Year 3 have been acquiring new skills, whittling sticks and working collaboratively.
A huge thank you to our incredibly generous families for their massive food donations as we celebrated harvest festival. We shared songs and poems about harvest in assembly. With all donations going to The Lord’s Larder in Yeovil.
European Day of Languages
On Tuesday 26th September 2023, we celebrated our Annual European Day of Languages.
The Little Kingfisher Day Nursery focused on Spanish and eating some lovely paella and patatas bravas and they made some lovely Spanish crafts- practising their collaging skills.
Reception, Year 1 and Year 5 all focussed on learning about France and the French language- learning colours, creating fact files and using dictionaries.
Years 2 and 3 focussed on learning some German greetings, numbers and Geography while creating their fact files.
Years 4 and 6 focussed on learning some Italian - learning the colours and crafting to make Venetian masks, as well as learning the numbers and learning some greetings.
All classes had the opportunity to try food from their countries and had a fabulous day learning about different cultures- as well as learning to sing a song in the language that they were focussing on! Well done, Kingfisher!
Year 6 enjoying their outdoor learning where Science met Art. Pupils collected different plants which they pressed between cloth using a rubber mallet. This released the chlorophyll (green pigment) to produce symmetrical patterns. The results were brilliant!
On Sunday 10th September, our incredibly talented Ukulele Club played at the Yeovil Ukulele Festival 2023. The festival took place at Haselbury Mill and the feedback from onlookers was fantastic. A big well done to our talented musicians and also Mr Frisby & Mrs Streetin for their hard work.
