1. I have enjoyed using our iPads to do work.
2. A challenging part about the first week back was writing our script for our p7 door display.
3. If it is a warm day then do as much work as we can outside.

I think seeing all my friends was the best part of my first week back

Probably waking up was the biggest challenge of the whole week

Listen to Mrs brown and be kind

This week we settled into class well. Many of us were very tired by Friday.

It has been brilliant welcoming all our brand new P7s back to KPS.  There have been a lot of changes but we are so impressed with how settled and adaptable you all are.  There has been much excitement and eagerness to get going with our new iPads and we have already started seeing how they can enhance our learning.

P7A had to sketch a self portrait as part of a Health and Well-being task.  In the past we would have been hunting around for mirrors but a quick selfie and we could draw ourselves easily.  We could even zoom in to get a better look!

P7A – Here are some reflective questions for the end of week one:

How has your week been?  What has been the best thing about being back at school?  What have you found challenging?  What would you like to do more of?

Post your thoughts in the comments below:

It has been a busy, different and tiring first week back at Kingsland but it has been so lovely to see you all again. Answer the three questions and post your answers in the comments.

1. What have you enjoyed about your first week back?
2. What has been a challenging part of your first week back?
3. What could we do to make next week better than this week?

In Primary 1 we have been building using lots of different materials.

In Primary 1 today we were using plasticine. We had to use our fingers to squash and squeeze the plasticine to make it soft. We rolled it into balls and made different shapes.

Primary 1 enjoyed sharing the story of the Gruffalo.

We talked about what the Gruffalo looked like and drew him with our black pens .
