Kirkhill Primary (P3a.1 & P3a.2)

Please complete the research activity from your homework grid – Choose an 80s icon to research and create a poster or PowerPoint about them. We would love the children to prepare a short solo talk about their icon to go along side their slides/posters etc.  This is due on Thursday 6th Feb please.

Could the homework jotters please be sent in this Friday as next week is a consolidation and assessment week and we will update them.

 

Thank  you 🙂

 

Such a busy few days learning about conjunctions, using our Big Cat books and working on our ve sound.

We’re working on a couple of key skills this week and if you would like to support your child at home you could do the following. 

Mental maths – adding/subtracting in tens e.g. 17 + 30, count on in tens 27, 37, 47.  Extension –  17 + ? = 50  count on in tens to 47 then add on the 3 units = 33. Working backwards, do the opposite — 12 + ? = 20, mentally calculate 20-12 to get the answer.

Literacy – Grammar to further improve writing skills. Ask your child to come up with a sentence using conjunctions; and/but. E.g. It is raining outside but I don’t have a jacket.  Extension – use because, while, so.

Thank you!!

Term 2 – Overview

I’m still having some trouble getting access to the blog to create posts of my own, but Miss Carrick has kindly let me post some of our learning from her account.

Here are some photos of us using our measuring skills to bake shortbread and weigh some parcels. We have also been looking for right angles and practising directional language by doing some computer coding.

We have loved taking part in technology challenges too!

I hope to be up and running properly soon 😄

The boys and girls have loved exploring some of the toys you sent in, thank you. Next week we’re looking at technology and inventions.

All pupils were sent home with the new grids in their homework jotters yesterday. The phonics sounds are all dated so you know what week we are on. Please keep the researching an 80’s icon for the two week homework project in February.

N.B. P3a.2 – Miss O’Neill is still having technical issues getting access to our blog, we hope to resolve this soon.

 

Thank you, as always, for your support.

I would like you all to meet my little boy Rory. Rory was born on the 21st of December, weighing 7lbs 9oz. 

Thank you so much for all of our lovely gifts. I was totally overwhelmed with all of the beautiful gifts that we received.

Rory can’t wait to come and meet you all 💙

A warm welcome back to school, it has been a lovely start despite the weather ☔. We have been busy setting goals for 2020, introducing right angles in maths and starting our new topic, the 80’s.  If anyone has any 80’s toys, games, annuals etc we would be so grateful if we could borrow them to help bring the topic to life.
