On Friday 14^th September, P7 showcased the work they had been doing on endangered animals. Parents were invited to an open morning which P7 planned and ran themselves. It started with a presentation in the small hall where parents learned all about a range of endangered animals through a powerpoint presentation, song and dance. After this, pupils escorted their parents back to the classrooms where they were invited to take part in a range of interactive games e.g. quiz, bingo, treasure hunt, matching games, powerpoints etc. Fun was had by all. It was then time to retire to the small hall for a well earned cup of tea and a biscuit. Monies raised from this will go towards supporting an endangered animal- still to be decided. Thanks to everyone who came along and supported this event and to our fantastic parent helpers. Mrs Lloyd and Mrs Balfour are very proud of the P7 classes for all of their hard work- well done.

Children and staff from Bankton Primary School

thoroughly enjoyed taking a Wellie Walk around

the Dedridge Pond as part of West Lothian’s

Walking Week.   Even though the sun shone, the

wee wellie wearers managed to find just a few

puddles – great fun!!!

Ted E Bear has sent us another postcard saying that he has climbed all the way to the Emergent layer of the  rainforest.  He showed us pictures of the creatures he saw and asked us to find out about them.  We have enjoyed finding out about macaws, harpy eagles, hummingbirds and giant spiders.  We have sent copies of all of the fabulous information on the Olympic champions to him and we look forward to hearing what he thinks of our hard work.  Parents you can see your original work on display in school on the open day.
