During Eco week we made our very own paper – it was messy work but great fun!
As part of Eco week P6 investigated how much water our families use a week – the results were quite scary! As a class we thought of ways we could help conserve water – we all need to do our bit for our future!

You could hear a pin drop in P6 this morning as each company was finalising budgets and preparing pitches to enter the Dragon’s Den with the best possible chance of gaining an investment. But just who will be the Dragons? Watch this space to find out!
P6 have been set a design brief to create and produce a Fairtrade product. By taking in part in this enterprising activity we hope to show that Fairtrade isn’t just about a fortnight a year… it is important ALL year round!

What? We hear you cry!
That’s what we thought until Darren and his fantastic team from the Lanthorn came along this afternoon to work with all the Primary 6s.
We learned that the ‘bubblegum’ is the true meaning of Christmas which can get lost with all the extra ‘fluff’ such as shopping, decorations etc.
We created our own tile with our chosen Christmas symbol and a number of children dressed up to help retell the Christmas story.
Have a look and see what you think!
Our wonderful choir are now internet superstars! A selection of their songs can be found on the West Lothian Council Youtube site. We bet you can’t NOT join in on their very catchy tunes and choreography! Well done choir and Ms Barr!

What a busy week for P6! Monday evening saw us present our annual ceilidh event. The children presented their learning about who St Andrew was, how he became a saint and what we can be proud about Scotland for. We sang ‘Caeledonia’, ‘Half the World Away’ and a firm favourite ‘500 miles’. Witnesses did see Mrs Stewart reach for he hankies but this is still to be confirmed!
After our presentation we showcased our highland dancing – then invited our parents and carers to join in. It was really good fun and we received lots of positive feedback from everyone!
Congratulations to our anti-bullying / kindness week competition winners! Everyone worked hard to create high quality posters to celebrate our positive attitudes towards kindness. Mrs Stewart had a VERY difficult job but decide she did…
Well done to Beth Kinroy P6, Amy McMillan P6, Eilidh Gray P7a & Emese Gupcsi P7a!
Your posters will soon be on their way to the printers to become banners which will hang proudly @ Bankton.
