Month: November 2019

P7 have been working so hard over the past few weeks to prepare their Christmas enterprise stalls for tomorrow’s open classroom.

We are all set up and ready to welcome our parents in for some lovely Christmas treats 🙂

Please remember to bring in any pocket money tomorrow if you would like to purchase one of our amazing products!

Thank you in anticipation.

Primary 7 is zooming past so fast we really do want time to SLOW down!

As our final Christmas at Kirkhill Primary School approaches, we thought it would a lovely treat to decorate our school Christmas tree with our own personalised bauble or hanging decoration.

This week as well as working through your Kindness Advent and Enterprise homework, you are invited to make a decoration to hang on our school Christmas tree.

The link below contains more information about the open classroom event this Friday. We hope to see you there!

Today we presented some of our WW2 homework activities. We listened to fantastic presentations and learned more about interesting war artefacts. We also shared some very artistic models of WW2 air raid shelters and took part in quizzes to test our knowledge. We look forward to hearing from more presentations next week.

What an amazing effort! Well done P7!

P7 have had a very busy week preparing enterprises pitches for stalls to set up at the open classrooms. We worked together in groups across the stage to discuss our ideas and then created design boards which included our product, selling price and expected profits. We then presented our pitches in front of P7 and our teachers. We all did a fantastic job!
