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!

Today we learned a new digraph- ‘wh’

We had a chat about different question words that have ‘wh’ in it- like

Who? What? Where? and Why?

We watched this funny video on the digraph to help us practise. Have a look at home!

We had lots of Easter fun today. We had an Easter bonnet parade in the morning then  made lots of crafts for you to see.  The teachers were super impressed 🙂

 

To top it off, we did the conga dance in the sun.

 

What a day!

We have been learning about different animals. 

We had a scientist from the Clyde River Foundation come and talk to the P1s about Scottish sea animals.

We also looked at baby trout.  It was so interesting. Thanks Rona 🙂

 

 

 

We made the most of the sunshine by doing Outdoor Learning. We worked as a group to use the equipment to build lots of different things. It was great fun 🙂 !
