Welcome to the Kirkliston Primary Support for Learning page.
Hello everyone! Wow, we are now in week 7 of Learning at Home and are all still going strong. Mrs Benzie and Mrs O’Hara have been chatting about how well we think you are all doing and have loved hearing about activities you have enjoyed and how you are keeping your body and mind healthy. It is really important that you get outside every day and enjoy some fresh air and, hopefully, sunshine. This is proven to make us all feel better! If you can, go for a walk, cycle, scoot, skip or run. But if not, a game in the garden or park will work just as well !
Stay healthy! As always you can contact through admin@Kirkliston.edin.sch.uk and any emails will be forwarded on to us or use the link below to access the Microsoft form to get in touch.

The children are confident using this in school and will hopefully be able to work on this independently at home. Click on the link below and click on ‘My IDL Login’ to get started.

The power of teddies
We all know how nice it is to cuddle and play with our favourite teddies. They can feel so soft and comfort us when we feel a bit sad or down. Teddies can make us feel safe and calm and really happy too! This week we would love to see your drawings or photographs of your favourite teddies. Can you describe how they make you feel? Send any photos or drawings of your teddies to admin@Kirkliston.edin.sch.uk to share with Mrs Benzie, Mrs Stewart, Mrs Miller and Mrs O’Hara.
Maths / Numeracy
These activities from White Rose maths are great, learning activities, for you to support your learning. Look at all the links and choose the ones most suitable for you.
These will help you to practise your multiplication and division skills.
