Our P7 Remembrance assembly was a huge success! We were all very professional and confident in our delivery of our lines and our singing and acting was spot on. There were a few tears shed during our poetry and renditions of ‘Highland Cathedral’ and ‘Let It Be’. We all have been working so hard for the past few weeks and it definitely paid off. Well done to everyone!
We had a visit from Michelle with the West Lothian Drugs and Alcohol Service this week and have a follow up session with her next week. We looked into the effects of smoking on our health and the chemicals in a cigarette. We were given the task of giving up something for the week and recording the results. We had suggestions ranging from giving up sweets to biting our nails! We shall see how we all got on on Monday…
In Maths we have moved on to looking at angles, have been exploring different angles and how to calculate a complementary angle. We will be doing a lot of problem solving with angles in the coming weeks so please ask your child about it! We would appreciate it if you could become ‘Angle Hunters’ during the day and ask them if they can find an example of an acute, obtuse or right angle wherever they are. For an extra challenge, they can look for a reflex angle!
We had an informative transition morning at DCHS on Thursday and again in the evening. The children had the opportunity to meet staff members, experience moving from classroom to classroom and play some getting to know you games with key members of staff. The children were able to look around the school, ask questions and see all of the equipment and resources available at the high school.
