Primary 7 are continuing their Scottish Maths week challenges. Today they were creating answers 1 to 20 using the magical number 4. Ask your child how they got on, I’m sure they will surprise you.
They shared their strategies with each other to find the most efficient method.
Primary 7 have been working collaboratively explaining their strategies for number talks.
Well done to all the children from Primary 4 who made their First Holy Communion on Saturday. Miss Slattery and Miss O’Neill were really proud of how well you remembered each part of the mass.
What a great variety of outfits today, Primary 4. I have been taking notes to give me ideas for next year.
Well done to all the Primary 4 children for working so hard on their times tables this week. We know how tricky they can be but you are doing well.
We also checked each others spelling. Working with our buddies to ask and check our words. Not forgetting our “silly sentences”. Ask your children about those!!
Grace and Zak were extra busy last week-end, they wrote stories at home and brought them in to share with the class. Well done both of you, great to see your enthusiasm for your writing

P4a enjoyed a Movie Afternoon, with popcorn, on Thursday. This was a reward for achieving 3000 Dojo points as a class. Well done everyone.
The Pope Francis Faith Group were busy this week grilling Daniel. This was all part of their learning on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The gift of “Knowledge” was their focus for this question and answer session where they had to work together to come up with questions for Daniel as someone who is undertaking priesthood training.
As part of their science topic, Primary 4 were treated to a talk by Mrs Swinney and Mrs Purves on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The children were able to ask lots of questions about the heart and lungs. They also got the chance to look at a model heart, listen to their heartbeat with a stethescope and check their pulse with a monitor. The children are enjoying their journey in discovering more and more about the major organs of the human body.
Games, music and dancing for all the boys and girls. An enjoyable afternoon was had by all. Not long now till the big day!
Congratulations to the P6 pupils who were enrolled in the Pope Francis Faith Award at mass on Sunday. The pupils taking part in this award will work in partnership with the school, the parish and their homes. We wish them all the best in this fantastic endeavour.
Primary 4 pupils will be attending a benchball tournament at Broxburn Academy on the 28th November 2016. Unfortunately this means they will be unable to attend the official opening ceremony.
Could you please ensure your child comes to school wearing their polo shirt, sweatshirt and joggers/leggings as there will be no facilities for changing. Not forgetting their water bottles.
Thank you.
All of the above covered by P4 this week, what a busy time.
Primary 4 have been busy getting to grips with “benchball” all in preparation for the benchball tournament later this month. Lots of team work going on. Excellent.
This weeks “Star Writers”. The whole class created some fantastic acrostic poems about Fireworks. Our star writers this week are Luke, Isla, Maya, Grace and Ciaran.
Skye proudly showing us her trophy for dancing. She passed her exam for modern dance earlier this week. Well done Skye.
P4b have been researching the Vikings on the internet. They have combined this research with all of the facts that they have learned in class and they have created leaflets to display their information. They also enjoyed making Autumn window pictures. Here they are all dressed up for Halloween – what fantastic costumes!!
Primary 4a proved they could work as a team and researched Viking Housing, Food and Clothes. They then created posters to display their work and present their findings to the class. Great effort by all.
Scary day for P4a. Brilliant costumes everyone.
Big congratulations to Monde Jnr. Coming Second in the British Karting Championships. Well done.
Well done to Primary 4 in creating such fantastic swords, shields and longboats as part of their Viking project. Lots of great ideas and hard work.
Primary 4 have been learning all about number processes especially where the units, tens, hundreds and thousands should go.
