It’s been a vibrant start to the month here at Kilmorie Primary School, with lots of exciting events and celebrations taking place across the school. 

To kick off Black History Month, our Year 1 children enjoyed a fantastic visit from the Freshwater Theatre Company, who brought history to life through engaging storytelling and drama. In Monday’s assembly, I introduced this year’s Black History Month themes: Pride and Power—two powerful ideas that will guide our learning and reflections throughout October. 

We also took a moment to celebrate the Red Roses’ recent victory—a brilliant achievement that inspired lots of cheers and proud smiles across the school! 

On Wednesday, we welcomed a group of neighbouring headteachers for a school visit. They were incredibly complimentary about the calm, productive atmosphere and were impressed by the vibrant new displays that showcase our children’s creativity and learning. 

Finally, a quick reminder: you should have received an email about Parents’ Evening, which takes place during the week beginning Monday 13th October. Booking will open via Arbor on Monday 6th October at 7pm. 

Year 5 - Storyteller 

Year 5 had an Islamic Storyteller visit them this week to support their learning about Early Islamic Civilisation. She taught them a greeting in Arabic and how to write it in Arabic. She shared captivating stories such as King Mahmood and the Night Thieves, as well as the cunning Story of the Stolen Smell. The children were enthralled by her stories and the artefacts that she shared.
