Our Wicked Week!

P5 has had a very busy week!

Between being busy rehearsing for the wonderful Emotion Works show case, we went on a walk up to Dedridge pond for outdoor learning. We used our senses to look, listen, taste, feel and smell what was around our local landscape. We did this to write fantastic, descriptive poems which we can’t wait for you to read!

We also saw a lot of familiar faces at the Emotion Works showcase on Friday! We hope you enjoyed our song, we loved learning it and sharing our learning about Emotion Works with parents and Claire Murray who created it! It even made Mrs Stewart cry.

P5 have an excited announcement to make this week so we hope you have your eyes peeled….img_5567

Some highlights from the day were:

Mitchell – ‘Being in Livi Stadium’
Hannah – ‘Getting the world record!’
Madison – ‘Breaking the world record!’
Ailsa – ‘Listening to all the drums!’

Well done to all the Primary 5 children who did a fantastic job learning all their drum rhythms!

Watch out Alan Sugar!

We have two entrepreneurs in the school! Jack from P4 and Mael from P4/5 decided to make a comic book selling business to raise money for Jak’s Den and the school.

They worked very hard to make the comics at home and sell them at lunch time in the small hall.  The comic was about a minion called Indiana Bobby who thought he was Indiana Jones! They decided to charge £1 for large comics and 50p for smaller ones.

We are all very proud of Jack and Mael and Mrs Stewart can’t wait to put her feet up and read her comic during the Christmas holidays!

Christmas Writing

In class we are writing a Christmas story for the nursery children .The story is about an unexpected visitor who tries to ruin Christmas. It is split into different sections. We had to also make a door and our character which we made out of different materials. Although this story is challenging to write it is lots fun.

By Bloggers Ben Torres and Abbie Black.

In anticipation for any snowy days, the children at Second Level are well-prepared for any closures! All children have (or will be given in the very near future) their Glow log ons, a home learning activity grid and a selection of websites you may wish your child to complete at home. The activities vary in challenge and offer a range of different approaches to the curriculum.

Paper copies of log ons, the activity grid and websites can be found in your children’s homework diaries. Or you can click here!
