Find out about somebody who is inspirational to you- this could be a favourite sportsperson, pop star, author or somebody in your life eg teacher, relative. Find out about their journey to success. What did they do to get where they are today? Did they face any difficulties? How did they overcome them?

Come ready to tell the class about who you have chosen. You could do this in a talk, PowerPoint, as a poster or write on the blog.

For Wednesday 8th May

 

Today we celebrated Mrs Macintyre’s amazing contribution to Kingsland Primary School over the years with a special assembly. Each class contributed something to show Mrs Macintyre how much she has meant to us over the years.

P5/4 created and performed a rap. We also made her a card with a message from each pupil.

We wish Mrs Macintyre a happy and healthy retirement.

Mrs Macintyre you are the best

So much better than all the rest

 

She always looks after the girls and boys

And entertains them with her box of toys

If you’re hurt she’ll put an ice pack on your head

Then phone your mum to take you home to bed

 

Mrs Macintyre you are the best

So much better than all the rest

 

Mrs. Macintyre is by far the best

She answers the phone with friendliness

She puts lots of plasters on our knees

To keep us free from germs and disease

 

Mrs Macintyre you are the best

So much better than all the rest

 

Mrs. Macintyre your so kind

The brightest person you’d ever find

She is always helpful and so cheerful

And for her we are so grateful.

 

Mrs Macintyre you are the best

So much better than all the rest

 

Yo! Mrs. Macintyre

Now you’re free

Enjoy playing golf

and baking cakes for tea

 

Mrs Macintyre you are the best

So much better than all the rest

 

Mrs Macintyre you’re so cool

You’ve done a great job at Kingsland School!!!

Awww they all look so cute and I think my brother and sister are in that walk I don’t know

In P5/4 we planted 6 tomato plants as part of our mini topic on fertilisers. We have 2 plants growing in normal compost, 2 in fertilised compost and 2 in fertilised compost that will continue to receive special tomato fertiliser as it grows.

Our question is: Do fertilisers help plants to grow? Will more fertiliser mean more tomatoes?

This term we are learning about recycling and have already started recycling our food waste from snack time.

Primary 4B have also been learning about recycling and have been writing their own stories about this.

They welcomed us up to the class to share their stories with the ELC children, we loved it!

Thanks to Mrs Stevenson and P4B

 

 

We had a week of Easter crafts, egg decorating and making Easter nests.

We even had a visit from the easter bunny who left us some easter eggs too…..yummy!

We hope you all had a great Easter break and are ready to enjoy our last term of the year!

 

 

The Easter Bunny visited Primary 5 today.  Happy Easter everyone!

 

Happy Easter from all the boys and girls in Primary 2 !

In block five, as well as SRA, we will also focus on reading for enjoyment. We will not have set reading pages weekly as we have done up till now. The children will be choosing books to read for enjoyment from the school library or bringing in books from home. We will be thinking about genre (types of books), the plot, setting and characters. Reading time will be given in class but we also expect some regular reading to be done at home.

Peebles Library has a wonderful children’s books section and borrowing books/becoming a member is free.

Please talk with your child about the books they are reading. What they like/dislike about their book, about the plot, setting and characters and any words that they do not understand.

Later in the block, children will be asked to provide a short presentation to the rest of the class on their favourite book. We will be encouraging children to read more than one book during this time.

Many thanks.

I loved making them
