Day 4: Baby Chicks
Great news!
All ten of our baby chicks have now hatched.
Devil Chick, TFJ, Pennywise and Chicken-Cow have all arrived safely.
They are all now in the brooder box and have clean water, bedding and plenty of food for the night.
We also weighed our chicks for the first time and are keeping a record of their progress.
Morty is our heaviest chick, weighing in at a hefty 44g.
Goldie is on lightest chick, weighing in at a dainty 33g.
More updates tomorrow.
Night, night baby chicks!
Day 3: Baby Chicks
SURPRISE!!!!
Two baby chicks greeted us as we arrived this morning.
Lucky and Sunshine, welcome to the world!
During Maths, Yoke and Pickle made an appearance.
Goldie arrived during lunch and Morty was born minutes ago!
Lucky and Sunshine are now big enough to go into the brooding box. Thanks to Stephanie and Syke for very delicately transferring them over.
What a fab day!
Day 2: Baby Chicks
No change from yesterday, although a few children have reported hearing a few wee cheeps from inside the eggs.
Day 1: Baby Chicks
P6W took delivery of 10 eggs yesterday.
At the moment they are being kept at 37.7 C Â in a humidifier. This keeps our baby chicks nice and warm and the humid air makes it easier for them to break through the shell.
Things are quiet at the moment but on Wednesday/Thursday we’re expecting to meet our little visitors.
We’re all VERY excited!
P6 Tay Group – Crate Climbing
It was a fantastic team effort from P6 in today’s crate climbing challenge. The pairs had 10 mins to build their tower as high as possible. Other team members were delivering crates on the crane whilst others manned the safety ropes. It was great fun!
Congratulations P6!
Well done to all our P6 athletes who took part in the West Lothian Cross Country Competition today.
Every single child gave their best and ran their hearts out.
We won the overall girls’ competition and Lucy Boules won the individual completion.
Great job kids!
Even Furball came today.
Bringing our trophies home.
Hey P6W! It’s a snow day!!!
If you’re bored (lol) how about trying some of these activities:
1. Build a snowman.
Tomorrow is World Book Day, you could dress him/her up as your favourite character.
2. Decorate a hard boiled egg. Post a picture and share your design.
3. Login to Sumdog and play against your classmates. Who can get the highest score?
4. Play some Literacy and Numeracy games on Education city. Can you get 10/10?
5. Practice your tables with a pack of cards. Challenge your family.
6. …and lastly
Very important!
Hope this stops you getting bored!

The Science of Making Bread
Yesterday P6W made bread.
We’ve been learning about microorganisms in science and decided to put our learning to the test.
We mixed flour, yeast (the magical ingredient), water, salt and vegetable oil to make a dough. We kneaded it, proved it (twice), formed it into rolls and then baked it. Finally we got to taste it in class. It was delicious!!
In literacy, we’ve also been learning about the important of writing a clear set of instructions. We were able to evaluate the recipe we had and discuss what aspects of the instructions made it easy for us to follow.
Well done boys and girls!
Primary 6W welcome Furball Bear to their class.
Primary 6 are very happy to announce that Furball Bear is now a member of our class.
This week we nominated people who made ‘Random Acts of Kindness’, kept a Kindness Diary and invited pupils into our class for free hugs from ACE Bear.
Well done everyone.
Let’s keep it up!
