• A message from the Principal to all our boys and girls

  Fri 03 Apr 2020

  King’s Park has been closed now for some two weeks and we are unlikely to open again for some time. While school may be closed I and your teachers trust you have been able to continue with your education. 

   

  It is important each of you, with the help and guidance of your teachers and parents/guardians are following a daily routine to make sure your education is not neglected.

   

  We all need to remember that often out of challenging and difficult times good opportunities present themselves. The situation you find yourself in today gives you the opportunity to take a more personal responsibility for your own learning. It also presents the opportunity for a more ‘whole family’ focus on where you learn, what you learn and how you learn.

   

  Your family home, your garden, for some your farm yard all present many many creative opportunities for learning by doing or what your teachers call, ‘active learning’.

   

  So, my message to you for the days and weeks ahead is, get active, get creative and work together with your brothers, sisters, parents/guardians to make the Easter days and beyond a time to be enjoyed as a family for this is, we hope, a once in a lifetime experience.

   

  Finally, and most importantly please also send a warm and thoughtful message to your grandparents and great grandparents at this especially challenging time for each of them.

   

  Be good and stay safe.

• Messages of Hope

  Fri 03 Apr 2020

  In these difficult days that we find ourselves in, we would like to share some hope and positivity throughout our school community.

   

  Each week we will invite pupils to create some artwork on a given theme. Parents/guardians are then invited to take a photo of the child’s artwork and email it to kpmessagesofhope@gmail.com. This email address will only be used for the collection of artwork - all other questions should be directed to the contact forms on the year pages of the website.

  We will then post as much artwork as possible on the ‘Messages of Hope’ page on the school website. 
   

  Over Easter, we will have two themes which will last for the next two weeks. The first is a ‘Thank you’ poster for our NHS heroes and and all the other key workers who are working hard to keep our communities going at the minute. The second theme is Easter.

  The artwork can be in any style -drawing, painting, papercraft etc. Also, we would like to point out that this is an entirely optional activity! 
   

  We look forward to seeing lots of lovely artwork! Remember to check back after Easter for a new theme!

• To the children of King's Park

  Fri 27 Mar 2020

  To all of our children:

   

  I write to each and every child and young person who attends King’s Park, or should I say to each and every child and young person who has not been able to attend our school over this past week.

   

  While school as we have known it is closed, many of the staff have been going in to help support some children at this time. To them we say a big thank you.

   

  For your part we hope you have found time to do your school work as set by your teacher and maybe a little extra reading as well, that you have found time to play and be active, importantly we hope you have stayed safe and done as your parents/guardians have asked of you.

   

  This is the first week of many when your only contact with school will be by using your computer, so remember to stay safe on your computer too and only use programmes and sites that your parents/guardians allow you to use.

   

  Finally, I hope the week just past has been good for you, it is certainly one all of us will never forget. As for the week ahead, again be good, be safe, keep up the good work and I will speak with you again soon.
