MAYORAL ELECTION CANDIDATES<br />
Whilst adults in London were deciding<br />
which mayoral candidate would get<br />
their vote, KGPS pupils were making<br />
their own decision. Each class read<br />
about the candidate’s suggestions and<br />
made their choice with a cross. Shaun<br />
Bailey and Count Binface proved<br />
popular choices but the overall winner<br />
was Vanessa Hudson of the Animal<br />
Welfare Party. Vanessa even tweeted<br />
her pleasure at being the children’s<br />
winner, ‘This has brought tears of joy to<br />
my eyes!’ British values and kindness<br />
towards animals are thriving.<br />
FRENCH CUISINE<br />
IS A BIG HIT!<br />
Year 3 have been learning food vocabulary and shopping dialogues<br />
this half term. We brought language to life in the classroom with une<br />
boulangerie et un petit marché de fruits et légumes, selling anything<br />
from croissants to cabbages and using euros.<br />
The children were impressive and managed to maintain short<br />
dialogues and converse with one another in simple French to buy<br />
their chosen items. To spice things up a bit, one group included un<br />
voleur and the local gendarmerie in their skit. Further drama was<br />
afforded with a gaffe by Madame Thorpe-Woods who was less than<br />
impressive. She had accidentally picked up a un oeuf cru rather than<br />
l’oeuf dur (hardboiled one) she had intended to use in 3G’s skit,<br />
resulting in un oeuf cassé. Oh, là là quelle catastrophe! Madame<br />
Thorpe-Woods<br />
CHORAL POETRY COMPETITION<br />
This year’s choral poetry competition was, of course, via Zoom<br />
and involved every child from Year 1 to 6 performing a piece of<br />
poetry as part of a class or small group. In Upper School, the<br />
children competed against the English groups in their year<br />
whilst in Lower School, Year 1 and Year 2 took part in a sharing<br />
assembly of their performances. The poetry was judged by Mr<br />
Peck, Mrs Gillett and Madame Thorpe-Woods and it was clear<br />
to see they had a tough time deciding on the winners. It was a<br />
great celebration of poetry and group recital. There was much<br />
humour and some very tricky poetry that was interpreted<br />
eloquently. Miss Spencer<br />
AND FINALLY…<br />
It is so good to be getting back to normal in school. The children are highly motivated and our usual deep, broad, creative, enriched and<br />
academically challenging curriculum is in full flight. I look forward to welcoming you back for the final half term of the school year. I also hope<br />
that it will involve parents coming into school so we can be truly reconnected! Jem Peck, editor.<br />
