On Wednesday the 3rd February, four primary seven pupils represented Boghall Primary at the annual Bathgate Schools Rotary Quiz. Categories included: Social Studies, Science, Numeracy and Mathematics, Technology, Literacy and Language and Pot luck. We were delighted to be placed 3rd overall! Well done to the team who were excellent ambassadors for the school.
1st Star – Learning new dance routines for the School Show
2nd Star – Getting to write imaginative stories about anything we want! We have wild imaginations!
Wish – For no-one to lose golden time next week.
Every week the standard of homework for literacy circles is phenomenal! It is so hard to choose our Homework Champions! Here are a few examples of quality homework…
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for our pupils – it is breakfast that gives their brains energy to get going !
Today is Wednesday and as you can see below it is America today at Breakfast Club.
Waffles, muffins and pancakes were disappearing fast !
We have already had France and Germany – still have Scotland to go !
This year’s poetry competition was judged by Mrs Duncan, Chris Galbraith (minister of Boghall Parish church) and Mrs Kathryn Oliver (PT English and Languages at Bathgate Academy). The standard was very high again and gave the judges a hard time choosing Burn’s winners. Well done to all who made it to the final and the effort from across the school. Below is the list of finalists :
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 really enjoyed learning ‘Strip the Willow’ for the transition ceilidh at Bathgate Academy. It was tricky but we got the hang of it!
*We had another very productive show rehearsal and managed to get through to the end of the show (Scene 13).
WISH- To memorise all our lines for the show so we can work on the acting, expression and staging.
