Kensington Primary Academy

Last week the FKPA delivered the food donations to the Dad's House Foodbank. Thank you all so much for your generosity in supporting this important local charity.

Before the half term, the hall was filled with excitement as children and adults enjoyed a wonderful variety of delicious foods from around the world. Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped out. The food, the atmosphere, and the national dress made it a fantastic event!

The FKPA International Food Festival  saw everyone celebrating their cultures throughout the day and wearing clothing that represents them to share with each other. Everyone looked fantastic!

Last week O'Keeffe Class presented their current history learning 'From the Stone Age to the Iron Age'. The props and costumes were impressive alongside their knowledge and ability to understand the different time periods along the way. Well done O'Keeffe Class!

In RE, Year 6 have been investigating the themes of love, forgiveness, reconciliation and redemption. Last week they focused on redemption and this week they will embark on a class debate around the question of whether we need to forget in order to forgive.

The Y6 Girls Football Team played in a tournament at Westway competing against 14 other schools. They performed very well coming 5th overall. Mr Laing and Mr Ahmed were very pleased with the commitment shown, the team work and respect shown to the other teams. Well done!

In Nursery's @pkckst.bsky.social lesson, the children continued their topic 'All about Me'. They learnt about people that help in the community and the children talked about what they would like to be when they grow up.

A really big thank you to everyone who has contributed to the annual harvest collection that will go to the food bank at 'Dad's House', a local charity. It is humbling seeing the amount of donations- such generosity! This is the last week in which we will be collecting.

In English, Reception have been reading ‘We’re going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen. The class have loved listening to & retelling the story with actions and movements. They have also made story maps to help us retell the story displaying lots of passion and creativity!

Nursery had a brilliant week! It's been great watching them making friends and settling in.

In English, Reception have been reading Goldilocks, and the Three Bears. They've been sharing opinions, discussing their favourite parts. The children have been retelling the story using props. They had Mummy bear & Baby bear in the hot seat, the class asked some great questions!

Nursery have had another fantastic week at Nursery. They are still learning to follow the class routines and are all doing an amazing job! This week our story was 'Who are you?'. They read the story and asked the question that was on each page. Well done Nursery!

We have had such a busy week in reception! We are proud of every student in Da Vinci class we are all settling in very well, becoming more familiar with our daily routines and demonstrating our school values. What a great start to the year!!

Thank you to all the Y1 and Y2 parents who joined our Play Day! The children loved sharing their rooftop play space. More Play Days for other year groups coming soon

Nursery have had a fantastic first full week at Nursery. They are settling in well and learning to follow the class routines!

Year 2 enjoyed sewing their felt pencil cases last week, thank you to the parents who came and helped!

Nursery had a big week! They went to year 6 when the weather was very hot this week. They loved being in there and sitting on big desks. They also read their story of the week 'Two little mice and the moon adventure' about explorers on an adventure!

Take a look at some of the creative artwork Year 2 created last week!

Nursery made some space stations using wooden blocks and stickle bricks - they were inspired by their story of the week about 'Mae Jemison ' who wanted to be an astronaut when she was a young girl and the courage it took to follow her dream!

Year 6 had a lovely trip to the Globe Theatre - take a look! Thanks to all the parents who accompanied them.
