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!103_1757

P7/6 West Lothian College Challenge

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.

Robert Burns

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.

Choir days out

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.
