#KINGSLEYHOMELEARNINGEDITION 11

Page 2: FRIDAY 10TH JULY 2020 - The Kingsley School

WELCOMEOn behalf of the entire Kingsley staff I would like to extend ourimmense gratitude to you for your support during this verydifferent academic year. It certainly has been unprecedentedand will remain etched in our memories for years to come.

May I begin by congratulating all our pupils who have shownversatility, resilience and positivity throughout the lockdownperiod. When challenged with changing their learning methodsto online platforms they have truly embraced a growth mindset– they should be immensely proud of themselves.

Home learning is certainly a team effort and I would like toreiterate my thanks to you, the parents, for all the support Iknow you have been giving behind the scenes to enable thepupils to continue to progress with their learning.

And last but by no means least I would like to thank theteaching and support staff. Every single one has played theirpart and worked tremendously hard to ensure to ensure thesmooth transition to home learning. Ms Owens and I are veryaware that we are surrounded by a wonderful team ofdedicated teachers who, along with the support staff, haveworked tirelessly to open school to as many pupils as possibleas well as maintaining a very full online presence.

THE GREAT KINGSLEYSLEEP OUT!

On Thursday evening, the community came together for a virtual sleep out, withpupils and staff setting up dens and tents at home, then connecting on Teams for

burgers and s'mores. Mrs Whiting read a bedtime story for all the Prep pupils, and,without wanting anyone to miss out, Mrs Rogers read one for Senior pupils too!

The whole group met again the following morning for breakfast.

We think we may have to make this a regular event!

Page 6: FRIDAY 10TH JULY 2020 - The Kingsley School

No end of term would be complete without a Celebration Assembly , and

although we couldn 't all be together in person this year , the community all

tuned in to a live Celebration Assembly on Teams , hosted by the Sixth Form

Leadership Team .

To make the assembly as authentic as possible , the team presented from the

Senior School Hall . It was a special pleasure to have Year 6 sat distanced in

the hall with us !

Despite a couple of technical and bandwith issues (such is the limitation of

the technology ! ) , the community said farewell to members of staff ,

congratulated award winners , and enjoyed a whole host of prepared videos ,

including a Teams skit , a Sound of Music medley , a catch up with everyone 's

favourite staff boyband and a special lockdown performance . . .

A huge congratulations to the Sixth Form Leadership Team for putting

together a brilliant assembly in very different circumstances . It was a real

challenge , and they absolutely rose to it .

Year 1 HomeLearning

Eloise has been busy this week preparing for theKingsley "Virtual Sleep Out" and drew pictures toshare her plans for the event. She thought carefullyabout her tent, picnic, lighting and the other detailsfor her plans.  We hope you had lots of fun takingpart in this event, Eloise!

Eloise also wrote a lovely poem as part of her Englishlessons and worked extremely hard to improve onher first draft, while using exceptional presentation.She has made extraordinary progress in her cursivehandwriting and has learnt to use rhyming lines andto present her poetry using the correct layout.

Olivia has worked hard on creating an informationpage for her creative curriculum homework. Sheresearched facts about clown fish and grouped all ofher facts using clear paragraphs, neat presentationand used an appropriate photograph to add furtherdetail to her project. We have certainly learnt lots ofnew and fascinating facts about clown fish thanks toOlivia!

New AdditionsThe Hayton family have two new additions to theirfamily home. Kitty and Elizabeth Hayton shared somewonderful photos of their baby mice which certainlyhave the cute factor! They named them Spooky andAudrey and have been enjoying playing and getting toknow them since their arrival.

YEAR 6 CELEBRATION

Despite their unusual end to the year , Year 6 have enjoyed having the

Senior School LRC as their c lassroom, along with their own pr ivate use of

the garden. After f in ish ing their lessons and fun act iv i t ies , the pupi ls

enjoyed a celebrat ion v ideo of performances, photos and discuss ions

about their 'best bits of Year 6 ' . They had also prepared a special surpr ise

video for Miss Slater to say thank you!

Year 6 have also made Kingsley h istory (again!) by having their year group

photo taken on the Senior School stai rcase. Distanced or not , we' re quite

sure that a Prep School c lass has not done this before!

Wishing you al l a lovely summer. Keep safe, and keep smi l ing.

We're very proud of you al l .

you in person soon. (And we will celebrate with you soon, we promise!)

Page 17: FRIDAY 10TH JULY 2020 - The Kingsley School

YEAR 8 CHEMISTRY(IN ACROSTIC POEM FORM!)Mrs Baker's Year 8 chemistry class finished off their year by creating some fun acrostic poems...

Y = Yttrium is a metal, element number 39.Elements are made up of only one type of atom.Atoms are small particles from which all substances are made.Rhodium is used in jewellery.  8th element in the periodic table is Oxygen. Corrosion happens when a substance reacts with Oxygen.Hydrogen is the most common element in the solar system. Experiments are fun!Mrs Baker is the best!Iodine is element number 53 in the periodic table.Sodium Chloride is table salt. Trend is a pattern of gradual change.Reactive substances like the halogens can be harmful.Yay – for Year 8 Chemistry!

Groups of Year 9 and 10 students have been

taking part in Round Square 'Postcard' meetings

on Zoom over the past few weeks, logging in to

speak to other students all over the world. Hosts

take it in turns to present and discuss their own

country's unique culture. The girls enjoyed

learning about Japan and India so much, that

they put themselves forward to the Round Square

CEO to be the next hosts, and create a 'Postcard

from Britain'.

The meeting welcomed just under 100 students

from all over the world, including from India,

Germany, Bangladesh, Japan, USA, Peru and the

UK.

The 'Behind the Scenes in England' event,

planned and run by our girls, included discussions

and presentations on English traditions, people

and places, a guide on Cockney rhyming slang

and a look into what the ongoing English tea

debate is all about.

The girls were absolutely terrific, hosting with

utmost confidence and professionalism, and the

discussions continued long after the advertised

ending time. A brilliant opportunity to speak to

people and learn from other cultures from

around the world.

Following the event, Mrs Rogers was contacted

by Round Square, who asked for the Postcard to

be written up as a case study. The girls will be

participating in another international meeting to

discuss their experiences.

A BRITISHPOSTCARD

"I have really enjoyed being part of the Round

Square community over the last few weeks in

lockdown as I have learned so much about

different cultures and talking to many different

people from all around the world.

We were so lucky to get to host an event

ourselves and we went through a rehearsal at

lunchtime to get it perfect. By hosting the call, I

have had my confidence boosted massively and

learned more about our country too as well as

others getting involved and telling me about

their cultures.

I can't wait to get back in to school and

hopefully lead another one, as well as finding

more opportunities to meet face to face and

make some international friends."

Mia F

Page 22: FRIDAY 10TH JULY 2020 - The Kingsley School

"I am so thankful for this whole experience. I was

hesitant to begin with, however, I am so glad I pushed

myself out of my comfort zone. Learning about

different cultures and also talking to people we may

never meet, but with such interesting stories to tell

and living completely different lives, has been

so beneficial. My confidence has improved greatly

and I never thought that this was something in which I

would participate.

Although I have adapted well to lockdown, at times, I

have found it very challenging. Being involved in the

'Round Square Postcard Calls' has therefore been

such an incredible and much needed distraction. It

has also been an outlet to channel my energy into! On

the previous India call, when going into breakout

groups, we discussed "adventure" and

our interpretations of this theme. Together we

considered the limitations which may be imposed on

our 'adventures' by our location. Afterwards I was able

to represent our group and had to feedback to the

whole call. This was frightening as I had no time to

prepare, but I felt so honoured to have the

opportunity to represent Kingsley!

In the Postcard Meeting that we hosted, we

experienced a few technical issues so I stepped in to

finish the presentation for one of the members of our

team. As I was unfamiliar with her presentation this

was challenging! It taught me how important it is to

plan for the worst and mitigate any issues which may

arise, whilst remaining calm.

Participating in the Postcard Meetings has been an

invaluable and unforgettable Kingsley experience for

me.

Abi L

The Round Square Zoom call was a great experience

for me and my peers. We were given a chance to

enlighten students and teachers around the world

about the UK. Because of all that has been

happening, we wanted to make a light hearted yet

informative call - something in which they could learn

something new. Within the space of 3 weeks, we were

able to put together presentations which were soon

to become the body of the call. Each member of the

team went about researching a topic that interested

them with the guidance of Mrs Rogers. After many

lunchtime practises and a session with Round Square

CEO Rachel Westgarth, we were eventually ready to

present. 

Topics ranged from England’s traditional dishes to the

large variety of accents that we have in the UK. I

chose to talk about a natural phenomenon in south

eastern England called the Severn tidal bore. I was

surprised at the interest taken in this topic by other

students. We even learned that there are other tidal

bores in places such as Canada that act in the same

way there as they do here. I also had the opportunity

to teach our Zoom call attendees how to speak in

Cockney rhyming slang, something which I was fairly

new to as well.  

One of my favourite moments from the call was when

our compares, Mia and Piper, asked everyone to show

their homemade scones to the camera. At first we

weren’t sure how many people would have made

some however they all exceeded our expectations.

Students from India, Peru, the USA and more had

brought a scone to the call which was encouraging

for us as it showed that they were open to learning

new things about England. 

Overall, I really enjoyed myself and I think everyone

else did too. Hopefully we can do something like this

again.

Whether you submitted photosevery week, just some weeks, just once, or just enjoyed lookingat the entries others submitted, you are all valuable membersof our photography club community. From September I'mhoping to continue the club, but possibly with some slightchanges.  This week was another great week on the theme of happy withlots of great entries and a very difficult decision for the winners,so I have split happiness into themes and have a winner foreach, as well as an overall winner...

ANGELINA'S BIKINGMARATHON

Angelina has been busy working on a cycl ing challenge throughoutlockdown, aiming to complete a 26.2 mile distance after al l the variousbig charity marathons were cancelled. With the help of her family, she

started building up her usual cycl ing to higher mileage, often riding sixdays a week during the lockdown period.

Miss Windsor's Marathon Movement Challenge for National School SportsWeek proved the perfect t iming for Angelina to meet her goal!

Angelina and her Dad set offat 6:30am on Thursday 25th

June to complete the ful l 26.2miles, only stopping once atmile 17 for a quick sandwich

and a lesson on Teams at9am, before heading back out

to complete the last leg.The promise of an ice cream

at mile 24 got her home!

An incredible achievement,well done Angelina. We'retold that cycl ing down the

middle of The Parade traff icfree is quite the experience!
