Sky Academy Visit

Today thirty-four Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils went on a visit to the Sky Academy in Livingston. They had the opportunity to produce a news report.

The report was based on Recycling – which has been a focus of our learning in class.

The children were split into groups and each assigned roles such as editor, reporter, producer, screen writer. They then worked together in their groups on a section of the report.
Group 1 – introduction,anchor
Group 2 – roving reporters
Group 3 – eye witness
Group 4 – interviews
After they had worked together in their groups to produce their own part of the report, all parts were then combined to produce the final piece..

The kids had a fantastic day and a wonderful opportunity to experience how a news report is made. Some of the comments were …

Miller – “It was a good experience!”
Aidan – “It was fun finding out about how the cameras work!”
Hayley – “It was awesome the equipment we got to use!”
Lewis – “Loves the technology!”

 

Eco Week Assembly

On Friday the 26th of February 2016, P5/6 & 6/7 are going to hold a class assembly at 9.30am.

Parents and Carers are welcome to come along and watch the show.

The pupils in P5/6 & 6/7 have been working very hard.

P5/6 & 6/7 have been participating in Micro-Tyco.

We would like to thank you for the support at our jumble sale.

We have made a lot of money which makes a big difference.

During this week we aim to make more!

One lunchtime we sold paper aeroplanes. It was really successful! We are going to sell them again one lunchtime this week. They are only 30p!

We are organising another Recycled Boot Sale after our assembly so be sure to come and have a look!

We still have amazing goods and books left for you to buy!

Remember, world book day is just around the corner!

As a bonus, we are holding a guess the teddy bear’s name competition. Only one pupil will win. It is a raffle and you have to try and guess the teddy bear’s name.

It’s only 50p a guess! The winner gets a wonderful teddy and an Easter Egg!

All money goes to charity! So while you have fun you are also helping others in need!

We will also announce the winner at assembly.

This week each pupil is being given the opportunity to design an Eco related poster.

There will be three winners – One for p1/2 and P2

One for p3 and p4/5

One for p5/6 and p6/7

We look forward to seeing all of you at our sales!

Please come along, relax and enjoy our assembly!
