P1’s Lockdown School Trip!

Good morning P1,

Well, here we are nearly at the end of our P1 journey and what a journey it has been! It was lovely to see so many of you yesterday but before we break for the summer holidays, we thought it would be nice to go on a virtual school trip to the zoo!

 

Edinburgh Zoo have 6 different live cameras at the moment so you can see lions and koalas as well as pandas and two different species of penguin. Have a look and see what you can spot!

Of course, seeing as we’re going on a virtual trip, you could always go further afield… San Diego Zoo has a fantastic array of live web cams including  hippos, platypuses and baboons! Why not take a trip to the States ?

Today could be like a school trip even when you are at home. Have a fun day at the zoo Primary 1!

 

Library Information – new e-Books and e-Audio books

Every child in West Lothian can be a West Lothian library member and that is exactly what the libraries endeavour to do – engage with and register as many children as possible.  If your child is not already a library member and you are interested in their child becoming a library member then they can simply complete the online application here: http://bit.ly/Join-WL-libraries. After completion you will be sent the child’s membership information and will have access to our digital resources and all of our libraries when we reopen.

During the lockdown they have significantly increased the collection of children’s e-Books and e-Audio books.  These can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/WLlibebooksChildren

They also have also purchased e-Books and e-audio books which allow multiple downloads, so there are no waiting lists for these.  The latest addition is Flying Fergus, The Great Cycle Challenge by Sir Chris Hoy and this can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/FlyingFergusTgcc

The e-audio books are particularly good for younger children providing them with their own personal story times, often with famous actors or even the authors themselves narrating.

If you require any assistance on the use of these resources or library membership applications please do not hesitate to contact the libraries at this email – library.info@westlothian.gov.uk
