On 18th October we opened the doors to The Crystal, Kingsland Primary’s fantastic new 21st century learning space to the whole community. To celebrate this innovative new building that blends unique architecture with cutting edge technology, the children at Kingsland created a Festival of Light, and expressed all their creativity to make the opening an unforgettable event.
Inspired by light, Key Stage 2 fashioned some eye-catching clay and paper lanterns to decorate the building, produced and performed heart-warming Haiku poems, the school choir, led by Mr Linley, performed a beautiful rendition of the classic ‘You Raise Me Up’ and the children demonstrated their culinary skills decorating 400 cupcakes, all of which contributed and brought a personal touch to the opening.
The unveiling of The Crystal brought together children, parents, teachers, governors and the local community together to celebrate and enjoy Kingsland Primary’s new 21st century learning space, with attendance surpassing 700 people.
The Festival of Light was topped off with a stunning firework display that lit up the night sky and was a spectacular closing ceremony to a fantastic evening of celebrations for opening of The Crystal.
Sara Goddard, Head Teacher st Kingsland Primary said ” This has a wonderful evening that brought us all together and we are absolutely delighted with our new building, we are committed to innovation through creativity and this project is an embodiment of our ethos, long may we walk in the light!”
