St Joseph's PS Whitburn

The boys and girls in P2/3 have made a great start to the new school year.

Yesterday, we used our numeracy skills to play 4-in-a-row.

Good afternoon.

We have had a fantastic start to our new school session with children settling in well.  It has been wonderful seeing them in their St. Joseph’s uniform and we are keen to encourage the children to continue to do so.

As mitigations continue to stipulate that children are unable to change clothes for PE, we would ask where possible, that your child/children come to school with their PE kits on under their uniform.

Also, please ensure all items of clothing and belongings are clearly labelled with your child’s name.

From Monday, August 23rd, PE will be on the following days.

P1- Miss Mc Cullagh: Tuesday and Thursday

P2/1 Mrs Warner: Tuesday and Thursday

P3/2 Miss Coleman:  Monday and Tuesday

P3 Mr Neale: Tuesday and Wednesday

P4 Mrs Strain: Wednesday and Thursday

P5/4 Miss Graham: Monday and Thursday

P5 Mr Paton Day: Tuesday and Thursday

P6 Miss Duffy:  Tuesday and Wednesday

P6 Mr Kildae: Tuesday and Wednesday

P7 Miss Mc Closkey: Tuesday and Thursday

Mrs. Mooney

Today we were learning about rockets and aerodynamics. We asked the question, ‘Why are rockets shaped like pencils and not bricks?’

We made simple rockets and decorated them with colourful patterns.

We then went out into the playground and got ready for the launch.

The next Rag Bag collection will be on Tuesday 22^nd June.

Please support this activity. Only send bags on Tuesday as we are not able to bring them into the building. There will be additional “baskets” beside the Rag Bag container in the car park.

This is a great opportunity to clear out our wardrobes for the summer.

If you want to know more about Rag Bag look here.

We have been:

•  Learning ‘ph’  
• Learning tricky words here, her, before
• Writing about the Life Cycle of a Caterpillar  
• Adding on to make 10p and beyond  
• Cheered on Scotland  in the Euros
• Enjoyed Sports Day

 

Another busy week with lots of fun activities and learning! Well done P1! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Miss McCullagh

We have been learning:

• to read and write words using the sound ‘tch’ (match)
• to add and subtract using numbers to 20
• how to write instructions for a ‘lighthouse’ sandwich

P5 once again made the most of the good weather and headed outside to tidy up the garden and inspect the local wildlife.
