On Saturday 8th November, we all went to watch the very poignant and superbly delivered 'Kingswood Remembers' which commemorated the centenary of the outbreak of World Ward 1. The mixture of music and drama along with pictures and video was a reminder of the horrors of war and the great sacrifices that people made a hundred years ago.
The boarders then visited St. Nicholas' Church, Bathampton for the local community Remembrance Service on Sunday and remembered those that gave their lives as well as making sure that we keep those that are still involved in conflict all around the world well and truly in our thoughts.
The following Monday, the whole school was treated to the inspiring 'History Man', Kevin Hicks who came in and delivered a thought provoking and very interactive history of the First and Second World Wars. Both children and parents' attention was fixed for the whole time that he spoke and his wonderful array of props proved that there is no better way of learning history than through 'living it' experiences.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.....and the KPS Remembrance service was a beautiful occasion and we commemorated those members of the Kingswood community who gave their lives in the war through the planting of crosses and ceramic poppies in the garden at the front of school. If you do get the chance to go and see it, please do so.
