All of our boys and girls lined the playground to say farewell to our P7 pupils. We want to thank you for your wonderful contribution to KPS and know that you will be missed. Good luck P7!
Last Six Hours
Last six hours of primary school
Goodbye is getting near
The sums and sentences all done
The full stop day is here
Last five hours of primary school
Where everything's before
The aims and games and crazes
no one’s crazy for no more
Last four hours of primary school
Surrounded by a class
who'll scatter soon and not return
when summer’s days have passed
Last three hours of primary school
One final lunchtime play
Instead of chasing friends we try
to chase and catch the day
Last two hours of primary school
The clock hands blur and skid
Signing shirts, remembering
the coolest things we did
Last one hour of primary school
where teachers understood
And helped me see I could achieve
for they believed I could
Last half hour of primary school
The assembly we all dread
We cannot sing - us Year Six kings
The crown slips from our heads
Last ever second of primary school
The full stop rings in our ears
But a thousand chapters left to write
We must vacate our childhood site
For time moves on and time is right -
To leave our wonder years
