Christmas stories with Primary 6 and the nursery!
Primary 6 have been busy writing their own silly Christmas stories. We have published them into smart folders and decided to show them off to the other classes. Here are some photos of us reading them to the Nursery – they were a fantastic audience and really enjoyed listening to our silly stories.
Saturday singing at M&S!
What a fantastic Saturday morning at M&S with our school choir! The store manager, Nick, said we should go down everyday until Christmas! He said that the customers and staff loved hearing and we had everybody in the store dancing about. Nicola and Georgia spoke to him and Carolyn at the end to thank them for having us and for more yummy snacks.
Thank you also to Mrs Burgon, Mrs Seawright, and Miss Bethell for coming along to support us! We also want the thank all the pupils, parents and siblings for giving up their Saturday morning – Keeva and Demi-Leigh were great singers too!
Choir success at M&S!!
What an amazing effort from our amazing choir this morning at Marks and Spencer’s in Livingston! We had such a fun time singing to the staff and customers – one little girl in particular loved our singing! We were lucky to be given a yummy “posh” snack which helped us sing for over an hour! Here are some pictures of us enjoying our treats and singing our hearts out – Mrs Duncan enjoyed joining in with ‘Unto Us’.
A big thank you to Mrs Thomson and Mrs Roy who counted the money we raised – an astonishing £350!!
Another big thank you to Mrs Duncan and Mrs McAlpine for coming with us today!
P6 and the Out Right program
Primary 6 have been learning about the rights of refugees in the UK. We looked at the difference between refugees and migrants, and used our knowledge of civil rights to discuss how individuals or groups of people may be made to leave their home due to persecution based on their gender, religion or personal beliefs etc.
We then discussed the British Laws regarding refugees and looked at the information UNICEF have provided schools about the issues with keeping families together. UNICEF have suggested that school pupils use their voices to tell the Government what we think about the Law in our country. With this is mind we created campaign posters which we will send on to the Home Secretary. Part of their job is to look after refugees who come to the UK and we hope our posters will help to persuade them to allow families of refugees to be able to live together.
Thank you Nursery!
The Primary 6 pupils have been busy taking some of our younger pupils to the library every day. We do this to encourage everyone to read more! The Nursery pupils love when the bigger boys and girls come to visit and they made us delicious rice crispy treats (yum yum!) and a lovely card to say thank you! Now it is our turn to say thank you to them! 🙂
Fantastic Singing Voices!
Some of our Choir members sang to the Memory Cafe group at Rosemount Court on Monday. Chris from the Church organised the event and was super impressed with our Choir’s beautiful voices and fantastic behaviour. We were even treated to a biscuit and some juice – yum yum!
New reading area!
Who can you spot reading in our new library area on the top floor?
Primary 6 – Screen Printing week 3!
Wow what a week! We were given a design challenge to create stain-glass window style art using the stencils that Bernie had ready for us. We could figure out they were letters but were not sure what we were going to spell…. after a lot of hard work (and mess!) we all peeled back the tape to find we had the letters to spell B O G H A L L. We carefully carried these outside and tied them to the fence, then stood back to look at what we had created! Thanks again Bernie, Fran, Patrick and Chris!
Primary 6 – Screen Printing Week 2!
Week 2 with Patrick, Chris, Fran and Bernie was excellent!
We looked at pictures of Street Art and discussed why some people call it Street Art while others say it is Graffiti – very interesting ideas and opinions! Bernie showed us some of his art that he creates using stencils which was very intricate and complicated to create. He also took us outside for a demonstration of how you layer the different stencils and colours to create an image – the picture he created he gifted to our class which is amazing! Next we created our own alphabet stencils and had fun experimenting with colour and shape as we layered our stencils on our own master pieces. Lastly we collaborated on a large class stencil which we will finish next week…. What a busy and fun filled day!
