There was a lad…….

ASD2 have been working hard since returning to school at the start of January.

As well as our core literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing lessons we have been doing a mini topic all about a Famous Scot – Robert (Rabbie) Burns. We completed a KWL grid, telling what we thought we knew about him and what we’d like to know as the topic progressed. We have found out lots of information using the internet, videos and books, have listened to some of his songs and poems and been learning to say other poems in the Scots’ Language.

As well as studying all about Rabbie, we experienced some of the food from a Burns’ Supper and by far the favourite food was haggis… the great chieftain o’ the puddin’ race itself! We also had great success making a clootie dumpling in a microwave and would like to share this recipe with you.Microwave clootie dumpling

Exciting and busy times ahead.

Pupils from ASD1, ASD2 and P2/3/4 are having a busy time practising for their part in our Christmas Concert, Craft, cake and Coffee afternoon on Monday 14th December at 1 p.m. I hope you have a note in your diary!

Before that, our little “Glee Club” will be getting videoed by West Lothian Council, for inclusion on their Facebook page, and will be performing some of our Christmas songs. I’ll post when that is likely to happen after we have been recorded.

When Monday is over there still won’t be any rest as the 3 classes are leading the Christmas Assembly next Friday (18th December) at 10 a.m. in Blackburn and Seafield Parish Church. Hope you can make it along to support us – Merry Christmas!

An active time.

The Shooting Stars are keeping very busy and active.

Last term we joined pupils from P5/6/7 to Walk Our Wigs off and managed to walk all the way to the swings at Seafield and back. We also went to Xcite in Bathgate for a weekly swimming lesson.

This term, as well as P.E. we’re trying out Cyber Coach and Fit Kids on a regular basis in class to help us Wake Up and Shake Up. We will also be doing some dancing in our “Glee Club” for the Christmas Concert.
