Primary 5 invited their parents/carers into school to join them for breakfast and to share what they have been learning about in class.

Primary 6 had a great time at their Big Breakfast! There were lots of active activities for pupils to share their learning and of course the pancakes and pastries!

Thank you to all the parents/carers who could make it along. The pupils enjoyed showing you what they have been learning in class, and they loved the parents playing ‘Touch-down’!! Thanks again for participating in the games and making it such a positive experience.

P7 barely escaped with their lives!
This week (on Thursday) Primary Seven visited ‘The Risk Factory’ to see what risks we might have at some point in our lives. There were twelve different rooms with lots of dangers which we had to identify and discuss with our groups. Probably one of the most popular rooms was the fire room. People liked it because it was one of the most active situations! Our tour guides did a fantastic job talking to us, also explaining how we could prevent accidents from happening. We also pretended to make emergency calls.
Did all of us make it out?…

BRASS AWARDS

Two of our fabulous brass players attended the Scottish Brass Championships over last weekend.  During this competition, Megan and Kyle, both from P6, won a Gold Award, beating a number of older brass players from across Scotland!   I am sure you will all join me in congratulating them on this wonderful achievement!

Our wonderful P4, P5 and P7 pupils helped to share Christmas Spirit across West Lothian with their fabulous singing on Monday.

Primary 6 are safety specialists! They have designed their own risk assessment and go through a rigorous check before approaching the science station.

They have designed an experiment to test the affect of fertilizer (household name) on plant growth. Using math and science skills, they are measuring length, volume and concentration and converting units. They are recording results in a table and will use their ICT skills to create a decimal line graph.

Plant C appears to be in the lead at the moment……….

Can you believe Primary 7 made a book with only one sheet of paper! These books were used as fact files which we packed with interesting information about renewable and non renewable sources of energy. In addition we now know how to shop on Black Friday thanks to our learning about percentages and Mrs Orpin’s happy socks! This week we were practising Scottish Country Dancing with Primary 6 and danced our socks off to the Gay Gordons. In drama we created amazing freeze frames about inclusion and exclusion which highlighted the importance of including everyone. We will keep you updated on all the exciting activities next week in Primary 7.

Last Friday P7 went to Deans Community High School. We were introduced to Mrs Hope, the head of S1/2. We were told lots of information about the school. We found out that there are 3 houses: Dechmont, Houston and Cairnpapple. One of the teachers we met, Mr Gray, is the head of Houston and he said ‘Houston is the best house!!’
We are not sure about this because some of us met Miss Thompson and she said ‘Cairnpapple is best’
while Miss Clark said ‘You want to be in Dechmont. It is best’
We will wait and see!! We talked about the Well being Indicators. We knew about this so we could give some examples.
