P3b.1 have been working on improving their fitness this term. We have been doing lots of different circuits. It’s tiring!
Science Garden Fun
P3b.1 had a great time in the science garden today. We collected autumn leaves and sorted them by type and colour. When we finished, we popped them all in the compost box to make food for next year’s plants.
Numeracy
P3b.1 have been playing maths games to practice their mental addition and subtraction. Decisions, decisions!
Homework Challenge!
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 #

Spelling
Can all children in P3b continue to use their bingo grid activities to practice their spelling words please?
P3b.1 have rhythm!
P3b.1 are enjoying music lessons from Mrs Duggie every second Monday. This week we have been singing and bouncing a ball to keep the rhythm.
P3b.1 Stained Glass Windows
P3b.1 used a variety of media to create stained glass windows after learning about the features of a church. We used tracing paper, tissue paper and black sugar paper to make our windows. We hope you’ll agree that they look fantastic!
Welcome!
Mrs Lord, Mrs Duffy and Mrs Kirkpatrick are very excited to be teaching Primary 3b this session. It’s been a great week and we are looking forward to lots of fun learning experiences.
