Welcome to our Class Blog. Our teachers are Mrs Hastie, Mrs Miller & Mrs Galt :)
We were investigating colours in the Science Garden! We were exploring colours in the natural environment. We found red, yellow and green leaves. Also blue, violet, purple, pink, white and orange petals and flowers. We also found small and big brown and green pears. We collected all of these together.
When we got back to class we placed our natural resources onto our colour wheel. Take a look!

It was so much fun! Zayn
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.

Monday 23rd September – Family Numeracy and Maths Homework Challenge
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 4th 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 #

Primary 4b created their own maths games for homework. Mrs Miller was very impressed with the imaginative and creative games which the children designed and made. The children also did a super job at explaining the rules of their game. Well done!! We loved sharing and playing our games with the class.
As part of our Charlotte’s Web topic, we have been learning about the life-cycle of a spider.
In groups, we created our own life-cycles choosing a variety of materials.
    
We love choosing active spelling strategies to help us learn our spelling words.
Take a look!

Here is the homework for week beginning 16/9/19. The homework is due in Friday 20th September (there is a mistake on the task sheet). Please record similar characteristics from your science sheet in literacy jotter.
Mrs Miller
A few children have been asking for extra copies, so I thought it would be easier to have a copy on the Blog.
Thanks Mrs Miller
Hi everyone,
Here is this week’s homework. Spelling words are in your Literacy jotters.
Please let us know if you require any materials for the maths activity.
Mrs Hastie
Today we enjoyed sharing our favourite books. We asked our partners questions about their book and some children gave us a talk about their book. We have found out about super new authors and illustrators

Lovely to meet so many parents/carers on Thursday evening. It was also lovely to see the children sharing their work on the walls with their adults.
Here is the Powerpoint which was displayed on the Interactive Board in the classroom. It contains information about this terms topics in each subject and some further information about homework etc.
Many thanks Mrs Miller and Mrs Hastie
