Primary 6/5 were working in partners this week to solve some mathematical problems involving magic squares. We were using the strategy – Guess, Check and Improve to work out the answers to some tricky problems. The rows, columns and diagonals in a magic square must add up to the same number. Try the one below and see if you can figure out the missing numbers!
P7/6 have been challenged to a Dragon’s Den competition with West Lothian College. Children have been set the task of making a business, creating a product and pricing, advertising and marketing their product. They will face a panel of judges at the end of this challenge and pitch their ideas. They will be competing for best primary prize and best overall prize when they pitch against students from the college. Watch this space for pictures and updates of how they are getting on.
Primary 7/6 are learning about the life of Robert Burns and why he is an important figure around the world. We are making fact files on his life, learning poems, creating our own poems and acting out scenes inspired by some of his famous poems. Children will be reciting their own laddies and lassie toasts at the Burn’s assembly tomorrow. We hope to see you there.
Primary 6/5 have been learning all about Robert Burns this week. We have been researching different aspects of Robert Burns’ life and will be presenting what we have found out in reports. We are also learning to play Auld Lang Syne on the ukulele. Next week we will be painting portraits of Robert Burns and learning one of his poems to recite.

The Choir have been out and about raising money. We visited Harthill Senior Citizen Centre last Thursday where we spread some Christmas cheer. We would like to thank them for their generous donation and presents for the children. Yesterday, we made our annual visit to Tesco. We received a warm reception and would like to thank Tesco once again for supporting the school. We would also like to thank all the friends and family who came along to support the children.
The boys and girls in Primary 5/4 and 6/5 have been learning ‘Last Christmas’ on the ukulele. They performed it today as part of the Christmas Service which was very successful. If you couldn’t make it along here is a video of the classes practising!IMG_1359b
