1st Star – P7s really enjoyed the Ceilidh at Bathgate Academy. They are becoming avid Scottish country dancers!
2nd Star – We loved learning new dances for the School show.
Wish – To memorise all our lines so that we can make the show perfect!
As part of our World War Two theme, Primary 7 and Primary 7/6 made delicious apple crumble. We have been learning about Rationing and how certain foods were only available in small quantities. We also found out that many people had allotments to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Each class had 45 minutes to make 4 apple crumbles. There was lots of team work involved. Miss Armstrong was very impressed! Here are some pictures of us in action..
1st Star – We had another successful show practice on Thursday and hope it continues.
2nd Star – We enjoyed cooking apple crumble on Wednesday. We have been learning about rationing during WW2 and how many people had their own allotments to grow their own fruit and vegetables.
Wish – To practise the school show scenes on the stage.
This week’s challenge was to make the longest paper chain using 5 pieces of A4 paper, sellotape and a pair of scissors. Each team had 15 minutes to complete the challenge.
The winning team was from Mrs Williamson’s class with a chain measuring 5.2m. Well done!
* We liked making paper chains in challenge Friday.
* We enjoyed Ryan and Cooper B’s art lesson on the Lion King.
! We hope Ryan gets better soon and comes back to school.
All pupils from P5, 6 and 7 take part in ‘Challenge Friday’. The aim of challenge Friday is to develop skills for life such as collaboration, problem solving and communication.
This week’s challenge ‘How high can you go?’ was to build the tallest tower using only 5 sheets of paper and a selection of sticking materials. The tower had to stand on its own.
A team from Primary 7 won this week’s challenge with a tower that measured Im 11cm (and 6mm). In second place was a team from Miss Armstrong’s class with 1m 4cm, in third place was a team from Mrs Thacker’s class which measured 1m 4mm and in last place was a team from Mrs Williamson’s class which measured 85cm.
Well done to all the teams who managed to get the tower to stand long enough to be measured! Here are a few snapshots. 
* We liked doing written subtraction in maths.
* We enjoyed challenge Friday this week, trying to build the tallest paper tower.
! We want to play football next week.
1st star – We loved Philosophy! We all sat in a circle and discussed our opinions on the following questions – ‘Can you pay for a bunch of bananas with a bunch of bananas?’ , ‘If you paint over a window, is it still a window?’ and ‘Are you any less alive when you’re asleep?’. It was very interesting listening to everyone’s opinions!
2nd star – We all got a headteacher award for having a great start to the school show! We managed to sing 3 songs and practised 6 scenes!
wish – to go out for mile a day more often!
* We enjoyed playing corner football in P.E.
* We liked challenge Friday this week with our lego challenge.
! We want to play more corner football.
