Kirkhill Primary (P3a.1 & P3a.2)
Welcome to our Class Blog. Our teachers are Miss Carrick & Mrs Knox (P3a.1) and Miss Jones (P3a.2) :)
Today we have been learning about the ‘y’ to make an i sound.
We worked very hard with our partners to follow the 5 finger steps to learn our new sound. We always enjoy our phonics lesson and working with our partners.

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 #

As part of our new topic on Monday the 23rd of September both P3a classes will be going on a walk in the local area. During this walk we will be looking at our local environment and it’s amenities. In a few weeks will be comparing our local area to Glasgow City Centre.
Please find our overview for term 1. This highlights the areas that we will be covering in class.
This week we started learning our new sounds using our brand new magnetic boards. We are working very hard to learn our phonics in a new way.
To start with we had our investigating eyes on and had to look for words with our new sound in a story. Then we started to work in pairs with one being the student and the other being the teacher. We tried hard to say the word, make the word, break the word, blend the word, read the word and write the word.
For homework please bring in an item from home which helps describe you. You will be asked to talk about your item and why you chose this on Friday.
For example you may wish to bring in your favourite book, a medal or a picture.
We look forward to learning more about you.
On Tuesday the 25th of June we will be having a Pyjama Party in P2a.
On this day you may
We are really looking forward to our party!
