• Snack
• Lunch
• Mask

If we are all sorted and everyone is here???  We are ready to go!!

Hello everyone,

We are so proud of all the tasks and activities that you guys have been engaging with this week for our zoo trip. This is a little side note about a very exciting sumdog challenge! We have seen sooo many of you engage with sumdog over the past 12 or so weeks! Today is the start of the West Lothian Sumdog Mathematics Contest and it runs until the 25th June!

To be on the leaderboard we need at least 5 children in each of our classes to take part. Pupils are limited to 1000 questions each so this contest really is focused on accuracy rather than number of questions answered – let’s take our time and really think about the questions!

I have attached below some instructions on how to take part! There are 337 classes already signed up to take part so let’s all gt involved and give it our best shot! Let’s see how far we get! Any questions just comment on this post! We hope you have lots of fun,

Miss Duncan and Miss Brown 🙂

We have got a verrrryy busy day planned for you all – thank you for all your help with the planning this week, we are all ready to rock and roll with our admission tickets and animal masks!

Below is the itinerary for the day, we will be uploading tasks/activities at the times stated, so keep your eyes peeled.

We are so excited to share this adventure with you. Please keep us up to date with pictures by uploading onto your learning journals!

Good morning P2!

I hope you have all had a good week and you have enjoyed learning about bees. Here is your final bee week grid:

Bee week Friday

I can’t wait to see your bee projects! Remember you can share them with me on your Learning Journal or by emailing the school office!

Next week we will be concentrating on health and wellbeing and will be posting different activities on this each day.

Finally, the West Lothian Sumdog contest starts today! Follow these instructions to take part as you need to be playing in the contest section for your questions to count towards your score:

Sumdog instructions 1

Remember, the contest is judged on how accurate you are, not how many questions you answer, so take your time! We need at least 5 people from our class to take part to have a chance of getting onto the leaderboard so please try to join in between now and next Thursday.

Please let me know if you need any help with anything!

Have a lovely weekend!

Miss Fleming 🙂

Good morning P3/2,

We have reached Friday again and there is lots going on today.

Below is our grid for today.  This is the last day of Bee Week and I have given you some extra bits of information that you might want to add a fun fact section or an interesting information part to your project.  Although this is the last day of Bee Week remember you have until next Friday to finish your project and please ask an adult to either add photos to your learners journal or email them to the school.

Bee week Friday

Today also marks the start of a West Lothian Sumdog competition and we would love to see Kirkhill on the leader board.  Try to log in and play a few games but the competition is about accuracy so think really hard about your answers.  It is not how many questions you answer but how many you answer correctly that counts.  There are instructions for the competition here –Sumdog instructions 1.

Have a fabulous day and weekend everyone.

Hello P1 and P2/1,

Today is the day before the trip!!!

We are so excited for tomorrow and seeing all your work though the week has made it even more exciting for us. We wish we could’ve heard your skip counting as we are sure it would’ve been great! It was super to see so many pictures of your masks, you guys have been so creative! We hope you like our masks from yesterdays task!

Today we would like you guys to listen to the story ‘Who’s at the Zoo?’. We have made recordings for each class so that you all can hear your teacher read out the story! There are some questions to answer so please listen and watch carefully.

We are super excited, only 1 sleep to go!!!!

IT’S TOMORROW!

Good morning P2!

Today we are continuing our topic on bees!

Here is your learning grid for today:

Bee week Thursday

Tomorrow is the beginning of a Sumdog contest across all of West Lothian! It would be amazing if our class could get onto the leaderboard! For this to happen we need at least 10 of us to take part so please try to have a go! I will give you instructions on how to take part tomorrow morning.

Have a great day and please let me know if you need any help with anything!

Miss Fleming 🙂

Good morning P3/2,

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and ready for another super day.

Below is today’s grid. We are continuing with Bee Week but today we are going to find out about one of the main reasons that we are learning about bees.  Not only do they do a really important job but they are also in danger and today we will find out why and how we can all help them.  You can add today’s information into your project or you might want to make a separate poster to explain what is happening and what we can do.  I have also added a recipe today for honey biscuits.  My boys followed the recipe and made these and I can say they were really yummy however they would like me to say that they would add more honey and less cinnamon next time they make them!

Bee week Thursday

Have a lovely day everyone and I can’t wait to see your finished projects.  Just one more day of information to go.
