P1/2 Update!

Last week in maths we were busy practising counting in 2s.  We used magnetic numbers, cubes, lego and much more to help us to do this.  Mrs Lloyd is impressed with how we are doing!

We also practised using positional language to give directions.  We went outside to the playground and Mrs Lloyd pretended we were robots and programmed us to move and follow her directions!

On Tuesday, we welcomed parents in to see the super work that we have been doing in maths during our last PATPAL event of the session.  We were the teachers and were teaching all the parents and grandparents!  Thanks to everyone who was able to come along and join us.  It was so much fun!

In our topic work, we were learning about the different parts of a pirate ship. We used our cutting and sticking skills to label a picture.  We are getting really good at remembering the different parts.

Finally, we were developing our ICT skills and used a computer programme called Clicker 6 to turn ourselves into pirates! Only a few of us have had a go so far but everyone will get a turn!

 

Health Week

As part of Health Week primary 6 and 6/7 set up a potted sport event for the nursery children to take part in. There were different stations to develop the children’s rolling, throwing and balancing skill. The school children showed the nursery children what they had to do at each station.

School Meals from August – For the attention of P.4 parents

REMINDER that the government’s free school meals initiative for P.1 – P.3 pupils does not continue into P.4.This means that all parents who are not eligible for free school meals should order and pay through our iPay Impact system at a cost of £1.97 per day from August.


I would seriously urge any parent who thinks they may be eligible for free school meals to apply now for the new session.
The government calculates our Pupil Equity Funding based on the numbers of pupils registered for free meals – so please register if you think you are eligible as this will increase our funding.


Information about eligibility can be found on the West Lothian Council Website at the link below:
