We have had a very busy week. Here are some of the things we have been learning about:
Writing – Descriptions and Prefect Application letters to Mrs Wilson
Spelling – Long /a/ sounds
Numeracy & Maths – Place Value & Angles
Science – Floating & sinking
Health & Wellbeing – Look on the Bright Side: positive thinking
As well as continuing our novel study of Wonder!
What has been your highlight and why?
We’ve been busy again this week. We’ve been learning about description writing, place value, and diversity linked to our novel study. We also wrote prefect application letters, danced our spelling sounds, tested floatation of homemade bugs, and played our first Kahoot quizzes.
What did you enjoy this week?
What made you have to really think this week?
What do you still want to know more about?
Here are some photos of when we used outdoor materials to represent numbers to 10,000. See if you can guess what the numbers are by counting the “digits” in each column.
You can also spot our bug making where we tested surface tension of water.

Our next Skipper topic is ‘Look on the Bright Side’. Harvard University research on positive psychology shows that gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. People feel and express gratitude in multiple ways.
What are you grateful for and how could you show it?
We really enjoyed today’s assembly…especially the song.
What are you grateful for P7A?

When were you at your best this week?
What surprised you the most this week?
What can you do with what you learnt?

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?

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.
Today marks the end of our school year and the last day that we have you all as our P6 class.
We have thoroughly enjoyed teaching you and have loved watching you grow and develop, ready for the challenges and fun of Primary 7.
We hope that you all have a lovely summer holiday and that you have lots of fun (fingers crossed for lots of sunshine!)
Take care.
Lots of love
