Whitburn walks

Some children had the opportunity of exploring the local high-street today. We were able to observe lots of different street and shop signs. We discussed what we knew about the local shops and what you buy from each place.

We got to go inside the charity shop where we found a metal teapot for our house corner.


 

We also go to choose 2 new books for free for the nursery. Thank you for our books!

 

We walked past the bakery and the children asked to go in, not everyone knew what they sold in the bakery so we went in to explore. We decided to purchase a domino cake for our snack


We counted all the spots on our cake and spent time talking with the bakery staff. We learned what you can buy from the bakery.

 

Thank you Christie bakery who gifted us a second cake to share.

 

We loved eating our cake for snack. It was delicious!

 

World Book Day 2023

Thursday 2nd March is World Book Day.  We will be celebrating in school with lots of fun activities and competitions.

Instead of dressing up the children can come to school wearing pyjamas or cosy clothes and they can bring their favourite book to share with their class.

There are lots of ideas and fun things for families to do on the World Book Day website.   Please have a look with your children.

Castles

 

As part of our Scotland topic, and with help from their families, primary 4 designed, created and built their own version of a Scottish Castle. The children gathered resources from their homes and local community to make the castle. The children brought the castles in and presented their work to their peers.

Teacher Industrial Action Tuesday 31 January

Information on strike action in schools

West Lothian Council has been notified that national strike action by teaching unions is taking place in West Lothian on Tuesday 31 January.

This will result in a significant reduction in staffing levels within schools.

All West Lothian schools (primary, secondary and ASN) are expected to close to all pupils on Tuesday 31 January

All West Lothian council nurseries and early learning centres will be open to all children, as normal.

National negotiations are still ongoing, and if they are able to reach an agreement, it is possible that strike action could be called off. In this event, we will notify you as soon as possible via Groupcall, with updates on the council’s website and social media.
