One person who I find inspiring is my older sister Lorna. She is 19 years old and she is a student Midwife. When Lorna was in high school, she was Head Girl in 6th year and she did well at school which inspires me to do the same. Now Lorna is in 2nd year at Edinburgh Napier University and has so far delivered 22 babies.
Some difficulties Lorna has overcome was having to get the exam results to get in to Midwifery and she had to do interviews as well, that would have made her nervous.
When I am older I would maybe like to be a Midwife, just like my sister Lorna.

Comment on Primary 6 homework by Ashley Neville
So my inspirational person is my dad because he always perseveres when something goes wrong. Once when we went to Wales he got his leg stuck in a drain and his knee was bleeding a lot. Most of the time he’s in England so we don’t get to see him for four days of the week but he still does whatever he can to make us happy. We annoy him but he still loves us. Sometimes at work it doesn’t go well either, but he still does his best.

Comment on What is the best soil for plant growth? by Mrs Maxfield
We’d love to have the nursery boys and girls come and visit. They could help us water and measure our tomato plants.
Exploring Loose Parts play
P5/4 took their group work learning outside as we explored the loose parts materials that have been a new addition to KPS. Together we found all sorts of ways that there materials could be used – see pictures below.
Our challenge was then to create a den with a safe roof in which all four team members could fit. Many ideas didn’t work the first time but most of us got there in the end by working together. We really enjoyed learning this way!

My inspiration is Danny Macaskill because he has a growth mind set and he will never give up with his biking career and he will keep on doing his flips and tricks
MacAskill had been practising several hours per day for more than 12 years. He gave up his job as a mechanic so he could ride full-time and now lives in Glasgow.
During his biking career the most difficulties he has faced were injuries he has broken a lot of bones. He overcame this by having a rest then getting back on his bike.

New books in Primary 1
Brilliant Books!
Today each class received a bumper bundle of books that the school were able to buy from the book fair. P5/4 were very excited to receive books from some of our favourite authors. After lunch we took the books that we are reading in class and found a sunny little nook to sit and read. This block we are looking forward to exploring reading different books in different places and discussing them as a class.
Garden stay and play
Last week we had a Garden stay and play where we welcomed in parents/carer to help in our garden.
Our helpers were digging, weeding, planting potatoes, building a greenhouse and enjoying some new areas in our garden.
A huge thank you to all the helpers, our garden is looking great!
In the next few weeks we are hoping to plant some more vegetables and plants – Any donations would be gratefully received!
