P1/2 have been thinking about the benefits of keeping active, following our Skipper assembly. We gathered data on our favourite activities and counted using tally marks. Then we made a bar graph and talked about the most and least popular activities.

P7 had great fun recreating VE day celebrations to end our topic on WW2!

P7 enjoyed some fun in the sun today and are looking forward to being together soon.

Here are some maths games to help you practice the skills we’ve been working on in class. Have fun

P5A combined their History and Science lessons from this block to create mini shadow puppet shows. We were able to show our learning about Vikings and Light. Here are some stills from what was a very fun afternoon!

During our Topic lessons, we have been learning about school now and in the past. We have enjoyed learning about the history of Kingsland Primary School.

We enjoyed looking through old pictures of Kingsland and spotted some familiar teachers.

We also created life sized school children and teachers of the past. Here is a picture of some of the girls tracing around Beth.
