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) :)
We had a wonderful day at New Lanark yesterday. We loved learning about life in the Victorian times and the Annie McLeod ride was amazing! We learned all about her life and what children had to do in a cotton mill in Victorian days.
We got to dress up in Victorian clothes and visited a house and the villiage store to see what living conditions were like. We also loved being time detectives, finding clues to show how people lived 170 years ago!
P2b had a fantastic week sewing beautiful bookmarks. We enjoyed making patterns with colours and were very good at threading our needles on our own. Mrs Ghaus and Mrs Bushell were super impressed with how hard we worked and how we kept going even when we found it a little tricky at the beginning.
P2b have been talking about what makes a good friend. We created fantastic name mats and wrote lovely comments on each other’s mats to share what we like about each other. We also created a friendship web and could see that friendship is about working together to make sure we are happy and having fun together. We used a toothpaste experiment to see how the words we use cannot be taken back in. We are working hard to use positive comments and to think before we speak so we are sharing compliments and nice words with each other.                                                                                                     
This week we have been learning lots about science. We did a challenge to try and create a free-standing bridge using spaghetti, sellotape and art straws. It was very hard but interesting and fun! We had to work as a team to put all the pieces together. This week we also got to visit a Planetarium. We learned about Space. We saw the Moon, the Sun and lots of different planets and stars. In our class we also have a science topic to learn about Living and Non Living Things. What an exciting week!                                                                                                              
 
This week P2b have chosen different areas in our classroom to play and explore. We wanted a Science Investigation area. We have been learning about our senses and the human body in this area. We also have a puppet show area. In this area we have been making puppet shows, including a Mr Mole show and using puppets to act out our stories. Finally we have a kitchen area. We have been using role play to make food, soup, set up the kitchen and have a tea party. It has been an exciting and brilliant week in P2b!
P2b really enjoyed sharing their work with their special visitors at our class assembly. They all showed super confidence in front of their audience and especially enjoyed sharing their poem and singing our class song. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us.
