World War 2 Research

As part of our topic, we are learning about world leaders during World War 2.

Our main interest is Winston Churchill so today we are creating fact files about him.

We are using chrome books to research events in Winston Churchill’s life and to look at famous quotes and pictures of him.

Family Numeracy and Maths Challenge Homework

Being numerate helps us to function responsibly in everyday life and contribute effectively to society. It increases our opportunities within the world of work and establishes foundations which can be built upon through lifelong learning. Numeracy is not only a subset of mathematics; it is also a life skill which permeates and supports all areas of learning, allowing young people access to the wider curriculum. (Education Scotland)

Families can choose one activity (or more if you wish) from the grid and work on this together over the next two weeks. How you record and share your homework is up to you! There are some suggestions on the grid but please feel free to be as inventive as you wish. This homework will last two weeks. On Friday 4^th October, the eldest child in each family should bring in their family homework and the pupils will get a chance to share their activity with the school community. The homework should be carried out as a family and each activity can be simplified or extended to allow everyone to take part. There are lots of real life challenges to allow our pupils to see the benefit numeracy and maths has on our everyday life. These activities are designed to be fun, active and engaging for all our learners. It will not only promote their numeracy, but it will also develop their problem solving, creativity and collaboration skills.

Please share your learning activities with us on twitter! @kirkhillPS and use our #

Jake’s Amazing Art!

I drew this lighthouse scene at my art class on Thursday using the hatching and cross hatching methods that we also use in class.

I feel that I had prior knowledge from doing this in our class so I felt more confident when tackling this at my art class.

I drew the image in pencil first and then added watercolour. Finally, I added hatching with a pen.

Sneha’s super performance

I was in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The performance was in the King’s theatre and there were many dates that the shows were on. I did the shows on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. This was a great experiance and I really enoyed it. I had practices during summer and the shows were during school. I did miss a couple of school days but I had an excuse. There were a couple of people from Kirkhill doing it . I had great fun and I would like to do it again some day.
