We are very excited to welcome back all our children to school tomorrow. We have introduced new systems to try to keep everyone safe. We will monitor these over the next few days but ask for your patience and cooperation as ever. Many thanks
Mrs Connor made up reading boxes for p1-7 these will be available at the main gate from tomorrow. Take a book to read while out on your daily exercise. These can be returned at later-any donations, just leave next to the boxes& I’ll add them in!

Mary, our crossing patrol, leaves her post today after more than 4 years service keeping us all safe and well. I’m sure you will join me in thanking Mary for all her hard work and wish her well in the future
We would like to say a massive thank you to the kids in P7. We were told on multiple occasions how kind and well mannered they were and how supportive they were of each other. Things we already knew, but to have others notice and comment is credit to these wonderful kids.
Police Scotland have issued a number of fines to motorists using the section of road immediately outside the school which is a car free zone. Officers will be in attendance regularly to monitor this area and to ensure the safety of our school community
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Summer Family Fayre including many of our new P1 families. It was great to get the community back together again and raise lots of much needed funds for the school.☀️
A short message to reassure all our parents that we appreciate that all our families are doing their best to support their children with home learning in very different circumstances. The school has no expectation that children complete all tasks provided in grids or online.
Mr McCann managed to do 67 keepy ups in 1 minute! Do you think you have what it takes to beat Mr McCanns score? ⚽️🏅

Remember parents you can also send us your videos and donate online 💰 ➡️
Can you beat Mrs Lones juggling score? 🤹🏼🏅she managed 41 juggles in 30 seconds! 😱I think Mrs Lone has missed her calling in the circus 🎪 Remember parents you can also send us your videos and donate online 💰 ➡️
Huge thanks to Mr Buchan and John our wonderful janitor for helping to build our wonderful garden space. Our green space is beginning to take shape. Watch this space for more developments...
Just a few of our winners from yesterday’s Awards Assembly. We’re so proud of all our young learners and it was lovely to celebrate together to end the year on a high. We also said a fond farewell to our P7s who were piped out of school to a huge applause. Happy Holidays! 👏🏽🌞😃
Our staff will return to the school from tomorrow. A communication regarding new classes and our arrangements for returning in August will be emailed to parents on Thursday.
Our janitor John was working hard on Friday to clear safe pathways for everyone returning to school tomorrow. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school. Take care on the roads and paths surrounding the school.
Today should have been a our fundraising bbq instead let’s give thanks to our super fundraisers and all their efforts throughout the year

I would like to acknowledge all the efforts of our teaching staff as they have embraced Google Classroom posting high quality lessons and engaging with our children learning remotely. We are fortunate to have such creative teachers at King’s Park Primary
One of our P7s has decided to learn Korean in her spare time! She has been using
@languagenut
on her iPad to do this and has managed to secure the 188th ranking in the world on the app for Korean! Well done 👏
Delighted to share our fundraising total for the Cash for Kids Schools Challenge - £3509.65. Well done to everyone involved and especially our Fundraising Committee for organising it. A great sum of money raised for both the school and a fantastic charity. Thank you!
The senior leadership team are aiming to contact all families over the next week or so to check that our children are safe and well and to see if there are any supports that need to put in place to help pupils with home learning. The feedback from parents has been highly positive
The P6/7 bubble in the school had a go at stop motion animations this afternoon. This “among us” inspired video was created by 2 of our talented P6’s. Well done 🌟
I hope all our school community are enjoying a restful summer. We aim to communicate with our parent community early next week. We appreciate the impact that decisions have on our children & families but await guidance from the Deputy First Minister and GCC thereafter. Thank you!
Tickets and another information leaflet for

A special thanks to the Fundraising committee and other parents and staff who helped plan, set up and run the event. Definitely a team effort! Well done KP 👏🏼😊
I would like to wish all the Primary 7 leavers the very best of luck for their next adventure at secondary school. Having taught many of them in Primary 1 I am amazed at how quickly their time with us at Kings Park Primary has gone. Have a safe and happy summer holiday. Mrs Lone
Today we got an amazing delivery... Our

who awarded the funding. Next stop a new code club and a whole load of fun.
I am delighted to announce that Mrs Vicky Lafferty has successfully applied for our vacant DHT post. Mrs Lafferty is currently an Acting DHT at Battlefield Primary and we anticipate her taking up her post in early November.
If you’re running low on stationery for remote learning tasks please stop off at the school when you’re out for a walk. We have a box of resources to top up your supplies at the main door 👍🏼📚✏️
P7 are making the most of their day by having a photo booth! These photos will be created into a memory movie which all P7s will have access to on their GLOW account
Books, books and more books… Our Book stall is in full swing this morning with some children struggling to carry their new purchases! Lots of excitement and enthusiasm for new books, new stories and new adventures. 📚😃🌟

Children settling well into their residential trip. Already muddy and well fed. Good luck to our P7s this week, we all hope they have a fantastic time.
Beat the Teacher event coming to you from Kings Park Primary School this Thursday🏆 It’s not one to miss! All money raised goes towards our Cash for Kids fundraiser. Please get involved! 🙌🏼
Thank you to everyone who came to support our Christmas performances. Your support is very much appreciated. Well done to all the children who performed with such confidence and to the staff who prepared them so well.

All staff engaging in Autism awareness training. As a compassionate, inclusive school, we are proud to support all pupils irrespective of their barriers. Thank you to Strathclyde University staff for their insightful presentation
There was lots of excitement as children arrived at school this morning to see our wonderful new welcome mural. This is just the start of some improvements to our outdoor learning environment using some of the money raised at our Summer BBQ in June.
I hope our families are all safe and well and enjoying our Home Learning activities and online resources. We are conscious of overwhelming parents with activities & weblinks. Children should try to do manageable amounts of work each day at their own pace. Learning should be fun!
Well done to everyone who took part in our Scottish Verse Speaking competition. The standard was incredibly high this year. We proudly present each class winner and the overall winners for the infants, middle and upper school!
Our P1-3 Jubilee Playground Party is well underway with lots of fun games and activities. The sound of laughter and singing is helping to keep those grey clouds away. 😊👑🌤
Thinking of the NHS staff within our school community tonight while clapping on my doorstep. It was a very emotional and uplifting moment. Thank you for all that you are doing to keep our families and friends safe

P6b saw the amazing Halloween rap from P4 and decided to challenge them and the rest of the school to a rap battle! Will any other classes be brave enough to have a go? 🦇👻🎃
Our time at Barcaple has come to an end! The children and adults have had a fantastic time making memories.
We should arrive about 2.15-2.30. Parents can collect tired but happy children from the lower gym hall.
It’s getting there. Our street scene is nearly complete. Some white lines, windows, zigzags & street furniture to add. This model will be used to create a computing science solution to school parking with a bit of

After a difficult and very different year, it would be lovely for our school community to spread some cheer at 6pm on Christmas Eve. Join in the jingle if you can! 🔔🎶🎅🏽
Well done to all our P1-3 pupils for their hard work with remote learning over the last 6 weeks. We can’t wait to see you all on Monday! 😃 P4-7, you are smashing it and we know you will continue to do so. We look forward to seeing you all on Teams meetings next week.👍🏼
Take a look at our finished murals, we’re delighted with them! 😃 To continue improvements, we hope to remove the remaining planters and soil from the infant playground this Friday 3-4pm. If you are able to stay and assist after school we would certainly welcome your help.
I would like to thank all staff at King’s Park Primary for their resilience & professionalism as well as our parents for their patience & understanding this week. Please continue to support the school by adhering to national guidance on face coverings/social distancing. Thank you
Our teachers are working on Home Learning Packs which will provide four weeks of revision work at every stage along with various websites and ideas for further learning. These will be sent out by Friday. We will also provide instructions on how to access learning electronically.
Outstanding performances by groups of our children today as we officially opened our Confucius Classroom. Well done to all children involved and thank you to teachers who prepared them. Great credit goes to Miss Cui for all her work with the pupils.
