We are so pleased with how well you are adapting to this different way of working Primary 5.  Thank you to everyone who has emailed us, shared what they’ve been up to or joined us on Teams – we love hearing from you.  You are all doing a fabulous job and we are very proud of you.  New home learning for this week and next is available on the Home Learning page above.  Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or problems or just want to say hello.

If you have watched the Kingsland Virtual Assembly from 27th April you will have seen that last week I had a tropical desert island in my house.  This week my daughter and I transformed it into a backdrop inspired by a well known series of books and films.  Any guesses?

What books have you been reading while you have been at home?

We hope you had a lovely time at home over the last two weeks.  Your next set of suggested home learning tasks will be coming later today and we look forward to hearing from you.  If you’re desperate to get started on something, why not head over to the school website and check out the new Kingsland Challenge!

KPS Challenge 2: Origami

It’s not the end of term any of us were expecting but we just wanted to thank you all for  your hard work this term (parents as well as pupils) and to wish you a very Happy Easter.  We hope you have a lovely restful time over the next two weeks and we’ll be back online on Monday 20th to share more learning with you.

Love Mrs Little and Mrs Rand

Primary 5 you have blown us away this week! Mrs Rand and I have loved seeing everything you’ve posted on the Share Space or the Kingsland Challenge page. Thank you too to everyone who has emailed to say hi, ask a question or send some work. We are missing you all but it’s lovely to keep in contact with you. It has been great to see all your Viking stuff – I feel we got our sharing time after all.

Now, it’s Friday and the weekend starts here. No homework please – try to do something nice with your family.  Read books, play games, build dens, do some cooking together and get some fresh air when you can. We’ll be in touch soon.

At Kingsland we have been trying extra hard with our presentation recently. I have been learning how to use some new apps on my iPad and thought this short video might be helpful to remind you (and your parents) how we form our letters for cursive script at Kingsland. I had to do it with my finger so I may not be quite on the lines.  Can you do any better? Remember to always start every letter from the line and use a leading join. Click on the green link below to watch the video.

I had a go at the drawing challenge set by Mrs Wilson and beautifully demonstrated by Mrs Collins. Have you had a go yet? I can’t wait to see how they turn out. Remember to share your finished pictures on the school sharing page via the Kingsland Website. Here’s mine…

We can’t have our planned Viking morning this Friday but we can still share our learning with each other. A few people managed to bring things in a little earlier than asked and I know lots of you are sharing things on the Share Space or by email. Here are just a few of the fabulous things you have made.

Hi Primary 5

Hope you are all well and looking forward to some activities and challenges.  There will be some tasks for you to do in the Home Learning page and also on the school website.  Please share your learning with us either on the share page or by email.  We look forward to hearing from you.

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!
