Numeracy homework –

It’s competition time!!!

This week for homework,  all children in Primary 3 – 7 are being asked to take part in the new Sumdog competition ‘East Renfrewshire Maths Contest’.

It started today and finishes at 8pm on Thursday 14th November.

Here are some things to keep in mind during the contest:

• Students can play at any time.
• For the score to count, the East Renfrewshire Maths Contest activity must be showing in the green panel on the left of the student’s screen when they click to start each game.
• Their scores are based on correct answers.
• The class score is the average of the scores from all students from that class who take part.
• To appear on the leaderboard, at least 10 students from a class need to play.
• As some students have limited computer access, every student is limited to 1000 contest questions. However, their free logins let them keep playing other activities afterwards.

Good luck P5b – I know you can do it!!

Different outdoor learning experiences offer opportunities for personal and learning skills development in areas such as communication, problem solving, information technology, working with others and thinking skills. Learning in the outdoors can make significant contributions to literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing. Therefore, outdoor learning offers many opportunities for learners to deepen and contextualise their understanding within curriculum areas, and for linking learning across the curriculum in different contexts and at all levels.

(Learning and Teaching Scotland, 2010)

At Kirkhill Primary we strive to provide regular outdoor learning experiences for all our children.  As a school we have a fantastic outdoor space which can be used across the curriculum to develop our children socially, emotionally and academically. During last session we had a super Science Garden added to our fantastic Eco garden and we can’t wait to explore here and other areas of our school grounds!

To allow all pupils to access outdoor learning in the changeable Scottish weather, we would appreciate the children bringing in outdoor clothing (wellies, rain jackets and trousers) on days they will be learning outdoors. Class teachers will let you know via the class blogs the days that these are required so that you can keep them at home on other days.  Also, if you have any spare items which your child is not using any more and you are happy to give these to the school, please put this in a bag with it clearly labelled as spare clothing for the school to allow items to be shared with our families.

Thank you in advance with your support with outdoor learning and please get in touch if you have any questions. This support will allow our children to have a fantastic time learning outdoors come rain or shine!

To allow all pupils to access outdoor learning in the changeable Scottish weather, we would like to ask if pupils could please bring in a named bag with old wellies, trousers (waterproof if possible but other old trousers if not) and a rain jacket.  Please do not buy any new items!  If you do not have any of these items which could be left in school throughout term time, please send a note to your child’s teacher and we will organise this for you.  If you could please ensure that all items of clothing and wellies have your child’s name and class clearly marked, that would be fantastic.  Also, if you have any spare items which your child is not using any more and you are happy to give these to the school, please put this in a bag with it clearly labelled as spare clothing for the school to allow items to be shared with our families.

We enjoyed a visit from Holly from SSPCA today. She told us how to look after our pets and how our actions can affect the health of animals in the wild.  We played a Fun facts game in small groups and constructed a robot rabbit.  After completing our rabbits, we used a coding programme on tablets to make the rabbits react to different situations.  We finished with a Q and A session at the end.

 

Please find the homework task sheet for week beginning Monday 13th May 2019.  We will be posting the homework task sheets on the Blog each week from now on.
