Over recent weeks, our P6s have been working with Shani from Sustrans Scotland to develop our Bikeability skills. Today we applied these skills while taking part in a group ride within our local area. We cycled as a group to Polkemmet park, saw some of the points of interest within the park then took part in a scavenger hunt.
On Wednesday 1st May, St Joseph’s Primary will be hosting a ‘Share the Learning’ event within the school.

There will also be time for some short activities which you can do alongside your child. The event begins at 2pm, all classes will be participating.
If you have children in different classes, please feel free to move between classes during this event.
Iona House met today and created some lego models of things we can ‘reduce, reuse or recycle’. We had fabulous models of bottles, boxes, trees, wellie boots and gardens.
On Tuesday, P6 visited Almond Valley Heritage Centre in Livingston as part of our ‘Whitburn and West Lothian’ topic. We learned about the role mining played in our local history and found out about the lives of miners. We also got to meet some of the animals that live at the centre.
