The RRS Champions would like to say a big thank you for all the donations of food and toiletries. We have counted over 300 items!
These items will really help people in West Lothian who are less fortunate than us !

Last week P1/2 worked hard in all areas of the curriculum. In maths we continued to work on our addition and subtraction and on looking carefully at the signs in sums! We practised taking away zero and trying not to let the sums confuse us!
In literacy we learned some new sounds wh, j and y. We listened carefully to words and tried to build them on our vecro boards and also practised reading words using our blending skills to sound them out!
As part of our emotion works, we watched the ‘very’ advert where the little girl gives out gifts to people who are sad or lonely. We watched the advert and thought about how some of the people in it might be feeling and then made some boxes of happiness to give to our families when they are feeling a bit sad. We drew pictures of things that would cheer them up and came up with lots of great ideas including photos, love hearts, teddies, cameras, flowers, chocolates, puppies and books!
Finally a big well done to all the classes involved in the nativity. Everyone sang their socks off (especially the P3 choir!) and the P2 narrators spoke very clearly into the microphones which helped the primary ones know when they had to come onto the stage and when they had to say their lines. A big thank you to the support staff who helped out with the costumes and with the backdrop – your help is much appreciated. Well done primary one for your super nativity performance and a big thank you to all the parents and family members who were able to come along and be a super audience. Looking good!
Today the morning nursery children had a very busy time. Firstly they visited to the Lanthorn to collect some duck food and then went up to the pond to feed the ducks.
They then went to check in the woods to see if there was any remains of the nuts they had hidden a few weeks ago.
We then went and had a play at the new park where many children had a great time going down the big slide. However some children did get a bit mucky when they slid down the hill when trying to get up it.
Thank you everyone for coming to the P4 and P4/5 Christmas enterprise on Thursday 8th December. We are grateful that everyone came. Did you like all of the Christmassy food like the biscuits and peppermint creams and of course all of the Christmassy decorations – reindeer lolly pops, candy cane mice, skittle boxes, pyramid bags and the sweetie bags? We hope everyone who came enjoyed it. We raised just over £275 which we are going to spend on our school playground/ grounds.

We have also been working hard learning our wh, j and y sounds. We have also been continuing to work on our blending skills. In writing, we wrote some super letters to Santa. Miss Rodford thinks that Santa will be very busy!
In maths we have been learning how to take away 0 and have been using cubes to help us!
P1/2 worked very hard last week as they practised both their addition and subtraction skills. They used cubes and fingers to help them work out the answers to take away sums at the teach table and continued to work indpendently on their addition sums. Well done boys and girls.
