Thank you so much to everyone who made it along to the Meet the Teacher event yesterday. It was lovely to meet everyone.

Different outdoor learning experiences offer opportunities for personal and learning skills development in areas such as communication, problem solving, information technology, working with others and thinking skills. Learning in the outdoors can make significant contributions to literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing. Therefore, outdoor learning offers many opportunities for learners to deepen and contextualise their understanding within curriculum areas, and for linking learning across the curriculum in different contexts and at all levels.
(Learning and Teaching Scotland, 2010)
At Kirkhill Primary we strive to provide regular outdoor learning experiences for all our children. As a school we have a fantastic outdoor space which can be used across the curriculum to develop our children socially, emotionally and academically. During last session we had a super Science Garden added to our fantastic Eco garden and we can’t wait to explore here and other areas of our school grounds!
To allow all pupils to access outdoor learning in the changeable Scottish weather, we would appreciate the children bringing in outdoor clothing (wellies, rain jackets and trousers) on days they will be learning outdoors. Class teachers will let you know via the class blogs the days that these are required so that you can keep them at home on other days. Also, if you have any spare items which your child is not using any more and you are happy to give these to the school, please put this in a bag with it clearly labelled as spare clothing for the school to allow items to be shared with our families.
Thank you in advance with your support with outdoor learning and please get in touch if you have any questions. This support will allow our children to have a fantastic time learning outdoors come rain or shine!
For homework please bring in an item from home which helps describe you. Â You will be asked to talk about your item and why you chose this.
For example you may wish to bring in your favourite book, a medal or a picture.
We look forward to learning more about you.
On Tuesday the 25th of June we will be having a Pyjama Party in P2c.
On this day you may:
Looking forward to seeing all those jazzy PJs!
Last Friday we went to a medieval banquet! Our kitchen staff made it all nice for us. Lorraine, Sharon and the other ladies worked so hard and we had an amazing time. They made the gym hall dark and we had candles. We had made crowns and swords and helmets and hats at home so we could pretend to be real people from the Middle Ages. Mrs Wallace, Ms Galt and Mr McKay dressed up too!
The kitchen staff made a big long table with a white tablecloth and we had bread, grapes, meat, cheese and pottage. Pottage is like very thick soup. In the Middle Ages poor people had pottage just made of vegetable that they grew themselves and also some herbs. (We are growing herbs in our classroom!) Rich people had meat as well as the vegetables in their pottage.
After we had our banquet, we had some entertainment. There was jousting, sword fighting, some jokes from the jesters and medieval dancing. It was so much fun and we learned a lot more about the Middle Ages by actually pretending to be there!
A huge thank you to Lorraine and her staff for helping us to have such a lovely time!
Primary 2 are celebrating the end of their mini-election this afternoon with a post-election party. (If the photo is a little fuzzy it is because we are very enthusiastic about our dancing!)
We formed parties with cool logos and slogans and decided what our policies would be. Then we created manifestos and elected party leaders by thinking very hard about the things we would most like to happen in Kirkhill Primary. Here are some of the children showing off the rosettes for their parties!
On Thursday we had a secret ballot to vote for our favourite candidates.
On Friday the results were in!
Ms Edmonstone came to announce the winners.  The Trusted Party from 2b won! Some of us really liked their manifesto so we voted for them.
We have all learned so much about elections. When we are old enough to vote we will know exactly what to do!
