The P.3 topic this term is a local study of Livingston. We are going to find out what is needed to make a town. We have already decided that we need houses, electricity, parks, the police, ambulances, shops and swimming pools.

P3 a are also going to looking at skeletons. P3b know all about them already! We went to the Dedridge pond and burn on Tuesday to see if there was any litter. We found that there was none in the pond but there was quite lot along the burn. Before the holidays we looked at our tuck wrappers and apple cores to see if they would rot down. This part of a pollution study.

P3 children in the local schools are also studying pollution to find out what rots and what will not rot.

 On the 18^th April 2013, the soldiers from Afghanistan came home. It was amazing in every way. Primary 5, 6, and 7 pupils went to celebrate the soldiers coming home. The schools cheered and waved their Scotland and Britain flags and made the soldiers feel so proud. When the soldiers came past a whoosh of good feeling went through your body. This was a day that will always be remembered.

On Wednesday 27^th March, P7 had their World War 2 Day. P7s had various activities in each class. The activities were: ammunition factory work, build an air raid shelter, homefront board game and loads more. We were told not to bring in our tuck as we would get a wartime tuck (one triangle of a jam sandwich!) We put on a performance for the adults in the Blackout Cafe (the small hall). There were a few air raids through the day when we closed the blackout curtains and took cover. P7 had to dress up as someone from WW2. All costumes were amazing, as was the experience.

After a busy couple of the days working on different aspects of their Supermarket transition project, the P7’s today worked in groups to create and then record radio adverts to promote their own new Supermarket brand.  After working on floor plans and brainstorming a suitable name and logo for their supermarket; they then wrote a script, worked on a slogan and experimented with suitable sound effects to produce a range of persuasive adverts.  Please take the time to have a listen to our adverts (simply click on the links below) and let us know which supermarket you would be persuaded to use.  Enjoy!!

Primary 5 invited their parents and carers into school last week to watch their fabulous Mary Queen of Scots assembly. We showcased what we had been working on in class and the audience was treated to drama, music and singing. We left everyone in suspense wondering what would happen next  to Mary as we haven’t reached the end of this project yet.

P1 have had lots of fun making pecking chickens, decorating eggs and rolling them down the hill.  Happy Easter to all, enjoy the holiday.
