Hi everyone,

Well done for all of your amazing numeracy homework from last week!

This week, the children chose their chilli challenge spelling words which are written in their homwork jotter. Please find attached homework for this week. 7.10. 2019

At the beginning of the week we were using our ,mathematical skills outside. It was lots of fun!

 

Today we created a Figure me out poster. The children created calculations for numbers that represent them i.e. age, birth date

The class loved sharing their maths week homework. Lots of mathematical skills have been used in baking/cooking (measuring, weighing, cost, timing), creating problems for the class ( using addition, subtraction, division and multiplication) throwing like an Olympian (estimating, measuring, calculating the mean number). We look forward to hearing the rest of the presentations next week.

We have also been using our maths skills in music, singing  the stations of the tables in a new song. In PE we played numbers corner game, and grouping using the calculations given for our warm up.

 

 

Good work Primary 4b!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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)

 

Monday 23^rd 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 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.

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

 

Kirkhill Primary Meet the Teacher September 2019

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!
