Kirkhill Primary (P3b.1 & P3b.2)
Welcome to our Class Blog. Our teachers are Mrs Lord (P3b.1) and Mrs Duffy & Mrs Kirkpatrick (P3b.2) :)
P3b.1 have been learning about position and movement in numeracy. We have been learning about quarter, half, three quarter and full turns to the left and right. Some of us have been using right angles to give directions and turning clockwise and anti-clockwise.
We used our knowledge to help us with coding in ICT and worked with partners in the playground, giving and following directions to reach an object in one of the boxes.
As it was raining today, P3b.1 practiced yoga in the classroom for their P.E. Namaste!
P3b.1 were looking at the work of artist Andy Goldsworthy. He makes works of transient art using natural materials. Inspired by his work, we went into the playground to try to make our own. We had to use at least three different materials and colours and be able to talk about the textures of the things we had used.
Today we looked at all our photos and chatted about everything we saw on our local area walk last week. We talked about all the different buildings and shops and we also spotted a post box, bridges, a burn, a bus shelter and wildlife amongst lots of other things. We also had a chat about different types of house and which type we live in.
Can we please ask all children to bring a pencil case with two sharp pencils each day?
As we are moving around the school, this would be really helpful to the teachers as we don’t always have a supply of sharp pencils in each base.
Thank you.
P3b.1 were challenged today to build a den for a Lego figure. The den had to be built from anything which they could find on the ground. It had to have a door, a roof and not blow down when Mrs Lord huffed and puffed! The class loved this challenge, solving problems and displaying excellent teamwork throughout. Please have a look at our dens below.
P3b.1 had a great time using Activ inspire to create a flip chart using graphics. We used pens, highlighters, shapes and the fill tool. Some of us discovered how to move objects and use the reveal tool too!
Have a look at some of our wonderful creations.
P3b.1 have been writing their own word problems for others in the group to solve. Can you work out the answers?
All of P3b are hoping to go for a walk around the local area tomorrow morning, weather permitting. Can you please ensure your child is wearing a waterproof jacket and comfortable shoes?
This is covered by local area consent forms.
Thank you
Mrs Lord and Mrs Duffy.
P3.b1 have been collecting fallen leaves and trying to identify them. We felt them behind our backs or with our eyes closed then tried to work out which one we had from the selection we had gathered.
After that we had some fun with estimation, guessing where our partner would end up after a chosen number of steps.
