P4/3 visited Tesco recently. Tracy and Paul from Tesco took us on the Farm to Fork tour. We found out where food comes from and we even got to taste different kinds of food! At the end our visit we were given a goody bag with lots of games and information. Thank you Tesco!
We have been enjoying learning about the Christian harvest festival. We took notes from a story about a special apple that was taken to church for a harvest festival. From there we looked at the life cycle of an apple and then decided to create apple crumble so we could enjoy it. We had fun making it.
1st Star We enjoyed our visit from the strings players as part of Bathgate Music Festival.
2nd Star We have had fun keeping fit this week by walking for a mile and by having P.E. in the hall with Mrs Coutts.
Wish We are looking forward to our assembly next week.
This week our stars were:
*We enjoyed learning about internet safety
*We liked doing a mile a day
!We would like more P.E.
As we are a Rights Respecting school we have been looking at the articles from the UNCRC that are especially related to our life in school and class. After a whole class discussion we identified which articles we could use. We then decided what the children and the teacher could do to help the children get these rights. We then brought it to life my making a treasure chest display.
P6/5 have been busy this week creating their class charter. We worked as a team to decide on the most relevant UNCRC articles for school and then brainstormed what the pupils will do and what the teacher will do to ensure that these rights are always respected. The pupils decided on a sports theme and have called it the P6/5 Dream Team. The charter is displayed in class and can be referred to at any time.
Primary 5 were fortunate enough to take part in a Rugby Festival organised by our Active Schools coordinator. They took part in sessions with Rugby Development Coaches and then played some games against each other. Unfortunately the rain ended the festival earlier than planned – typical Scottish weather!
We have enjoyed doing stations in PE this week. The stations have included such things as hula hoops, football, hurdles and space hoppers. The children have had a great time experiencing each one and have asked that they do the same for PE next week. They worked well in their teams and ensured that they followed the instructions and rules for each game.
Primary 3 have been involved in the Roots of Empathy programme. This programme allows children to see the developmental stages of a baby and identify what their needs and wants are at each stage.
We celebrated the end of the programme by having a mini celebration with baby Sophie in our class. We have seen her grow and develop over the year and have loved having her in our class.
Boghall football team felt very proud yesterday wearing their new strips at the final festival of the year at Bathgate Thistle’s Creamery Park. They look very smart! Well done to St Marys for winning the league trophy.
