kirkhill Primary (P1A)

Hi All,

We understand that routine is very important at this time. Each school day we will be providing a Literacy, Numeracy and ‘Other’ activity to be completed.

We have put together some resources that we hope will help with your daily learning. If your child has been absent from school we will make these available for collection. We will let you know where the collection point is in due course.

We would also ask that you continue to undertake these activities each day:
• Practice lower and uppercase letter formation (using laminated sheet provided as guidance)
• Practice 0 – 20 number formation (using laminated sheet provided as guidance)
• Practice writing full name (using laminated sheet provided as guidance)
• Discuss the date and day of the week. What date/day was it yesterday? What will date/day will it be tomorrow?
• What is the weather like today?

On our daily task sheet we may provide options in the form of a ‘Chilli Challenge’. The ‘Chillies’ act as a measure of challenge in which there are three levels. Therefore, we do not expect that your child will complete all ‘Chilli Challenge’ activities.

As well as academic learning we appreciate the importance of daily physical activity. Each day we have suggested your child may like to participate in Joe Wicks live PE lessons. These will be streamed live on Joe Wicks’ YouTube account every morning at 9am.

Thank you for your co-operation,
Miss McCann and Miss Baillie

Hi all!

We have been revising our new diagraphs this week ‘wh’ and ‘ph’. As they are not on our Jolly Phonics programme we have been using some songs from our favourite Jack Hartmaan to help us learn them!

Here are some links:

‘wh’:

‘ph’

We have created our own actions for these sounds.

Can you practise them at home?

wh:

We moved our finger round in a circle infront of us like a wheel.

ph:

We pretended we were answering a phone.

 

These are tricky diagraphs to learn. Keep practising them at home! Can you spot them in books you are reading?

We are just back from our exciting trip to Amazonia!

We learned about the different animals in the zoo at Amazonia. They are animals that can be found in rainforests like the Amazon.

We got the chance to hold and touch some of the animals!

We found the cockroach very tickly to hold!

We were all very brave when holding the snake! 

We had lots of fun learning about the animals and their habitats today!

Dear Parent/Carer,

Our Fairtrade Pupil Group members have been working very hard to promote Fairtrade Fortnight which starts on Monday 24 February and finishes on Sunday 8 March 2020.

As preparation for Fairtrade Fortnight the Primary 4 pupil group members conducted a survey to find out which treats children would like to buy at the tuck shop we are planning to run. A subgroup of Primary 5s created posters to advertise the tuck shop around the school. The older members of the pupil group will be giving a speech and showing a PowerPoint to the rest of the school to raise awareness of Fairtrade. The Primary 7 members created a rota for the tuck shop (see below).

We would like to invite children to bring in cash to buy a Fairtrade treat from the tuck shop. We will be offering Geobake chocolate chip cookies, a variety of Divine chocolate bars and Fairtrade Jellybeans. The tuck shop will be running from Monday 2nd March until Friday 6th March. All items are £1.10 so please send your child with the correct amount if possible.

• Monday 2nd March – Primary 1 and Primary 2
• Tuesday 3rd March – Primary 3
• Wednesday 4th March – Primary 4 and Primary 5
• Thursday 5th March – Primary 6
• Friday 6th March – Primary 7

Fair Trade Tuck Shop

Yours sincerely,

Fairtrade Pupil Group

This morning we have been little authors-making animal fact files at our Writing area.

We have been engineers-working as a team to build an African Savannah zoo for the animals that live there.

 

 

 We have been problem solvers-putting the animal jigsaw pieces back together.

 

 

 

We have been artists- making our own jungle masks and patterns in the elephants!

 

 

 

 

We have been performers- putting on a jungle animal puppet show.

Happy Friday everyone 🙂

 

 

Hi all,

Homework is now on the blog under our ‘Homework’ tab to be returned this Friday (21st).

Thanks 🙂

Hello 🙂

We have had a super busy week in p1a!

For a Literacy Counter, we have been reading and recognising our CVC words. We are getting very good at this!

We have also been having a go at building our own sentences (remembering a capital letter and a full stop at the end!) and building our CVC words.

We are continuing to have a go at making doubles. We are very good with our doubles up to 10! We have been loving singing along to our doubles song in class.

A blue counter task this week was some subtraction board games. We have been using cubes to help us figure out the answer to the calculations.

We have been continuing to practise telling the time. We are able to recognise ‘o’clock’ times and have even challenged ourselves this week to begin to recognise when it is half past.

In our Atrium we have been exploring with magnets. We were searching for magnetic objects in our sand tray. 

We loved seeing and playing with our common words games today. There were so many wonderful ideas 🙂 Keep playing these at home for extra practise!

 

Enjoy your weekend 🙂
