Ash Wednesday

Hi Children,

Today is the beginning of lent, It is fasting for 40 days.  This is a christian tradition. Lent may mean giving up something you love for 40 days, it could be chocolate, bread or crisps.  Maybe you will join in!

It also means it is six weeks until Easter Sunday too. I wonder how many Easter eggs the Easter Bunny will bring you…?

Check out one of our favourite Bunny Rabbits and the mischief he gets up to here https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/peter-rabbit

Have a great day, Jen

Whole School Art Project Research University of Edinburgh

The school are currently undertaking an art project with all pupils in the school in collaboration with the National Galleries of Scotland.  This has involved the teachers and pupils working with artist on the theme of uncertainty and ‘What is essential?   As part of the project audio and visual recordings of pupils will be made and shared with a research team from the University of Edinburgh and stored on their secure server.  These recordings will be analysed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh and where parents and carers have requested, any child can be out of view of the video camera and all audio recordings will be anonymous.

National Inventor’s Day

Hi Everyone,

Lets celebrate past Inventors, as without them we wouldn’t have many of the things we use on a daily basis.

Local Inventors include James Young Simpson, from Bathgate who discovered Penicilin,  Alexander Graham Bell, from Edinburgh who  invented the telephone, John Logie Baird, from helensburgh who invented the television and Henry Bell, from Torphichen who developed the steamship, plus there are many, many more Scottish inventors!

 

Today you could be an inventor! What will you Invent? I wonder if you could use your imgination and come up with a new invention. Let us see your inventions by posting them here. I look forward to seeing what you have created.

Have a great day full of fun and creativity, Jen

P6/7 Learning Activities Thursday

This week we tasked pupils with asking 100 people what makes them happy and what makes them sad.  This was not an easy task but we now have LOTS of data to help us with our festival!

It’s now time to organise our data by writing an informative report!

Informative Report – What makes people happy & sad

We realised that it may have been easier to work together to collect the data.  There’s plenty data to be found on Teams if you didn’t manage to get many responses!

Number Talks Thursday

Check in 9:15, Coaching Conversations 11:15-12:15 (Check your time on the Better Together team!), optional writing support 1:30 and a fun check out at 2:45!
