Kirkhill Primary (P3c.1 & P3c.2)
Welcome to our Class Blog. Our teachers are Miss Ali (P3c.1) & Miss MacArthur (P3c.2) :)
It has been a busy week in 3c. On Tuesday we had a talk from some nursing students all about making healthy choices with our food. We were so surprised by the amount of sugar in some drinks! We learned we should also be drinking about 7-8 glasses of water a day which we are all going to make an effort to do!
We have also been learning about Chinese New Year and some Chinese traditions. On Wednesday, our very kind catering team made us some delicious Chinese food to taste. It was lovely!
We had a busy morning today learning about commas and using them to separate a list. We also practised spelling words with our ‘ea’ sound by using different apps on the iPads.
P3c. 1 and P3c.2 had a great time working together yesterday exploring the outdoors. We searched for different shapes and colours of leaves to create some animal portraits. We had to use our creativity to try and piece them together. We think they look great, can you work out what we designed?
In the afternoon, we extended our learning by creating some amazing autumn poems using similes. We worked together in our classes to come up with some fantastic similes about autumn leaves and then in pairs we wrote our own simile poem. We are really proud of all our hard work!

Some of our parents have asked if we could help them find resources that would allow their children to practise forming letters correctly at home. This is a great idea because forming letters the right way help children write clearly and fluently. It also helps them get ready for joined-up writing which will be coming along very soon!
Jolly Phonics Letter Sounds is one app that allows children to form letters using a finger on a phone or a tablet. Apparently it is available for Apple or Android devices and costs about £5.  Let us know if you are aware of any other good handwriting apps and we’ll share your ideas on the blog.
We have also made handwriting paper which you can print out if you want your child to practise making letters exactly the right size and positioning them in exactly the right place! Click on the link below to download it.

Hope that helps!
Today we were playing some games on the Spelling City website to practise our spelling and some of the children asked if we could find a way for them to play the games at home too.
Below is a link that takes you to the wordlists for our most recent spelling patterns. We’ll keep updating them as we learn more!
