Jacob- We were looking at the sound ‘qu’ and going over all of the sounds we already know.

Joshua- We did the ‘cha cha slide!’ because it gives you lots of different directions and movements to go in!

Lena- We also learned about symmetry. Asymmetric means the shape is different on both sides and symmetrical means its the same on both sides. We used mirrors on our symmetry hunt.

Logan M- Rory had talcum powder on his hands and we pretended that it was germs. He spread the ‘germs’ to other people and around the classroom and the talc went everywhere!

Jack- This shows us how far germs can go if you don’t wash your hands and cover your mouth when coughing and sneezing.

Leave a comment

P2 are very excited to share their new topic with you. We are going to learn about ‘Schools Past and Present’. We worked on our plan together. We are going to learn about what it was like being a pupil in the past compared to being a pupil today. This includes subjects taught, games played, transport to school, school lunches, tools used in school and pupil voice.

We need help from our mums, dads, grans and grandads! Could you please send in a photograph of when you were in primary school? (Whether or not you were a St. Nicholas pupil!)

We are also looking for any parents who would like to come into school and talk to us about what it was like! The children will have lots of questions for you. If you can, please let us know.

We had lots of fun this week looking at old photographs of our school and of previous teachers and pupils.

P2′ Visit to Purves’s Puppet Theatre

Leave a comment

As part of our learning about ‘Toys, Now and Then’ P2 had a very enjoyable trip to Purves Puppet Theatre earlier on today.  It was great seeing puppets in action.  We got to see how the puppeteers moved the puppets using black gloves and clever lighting ! It was so cleverly done that it was impossible to see the puppeteers behind the stage.

Here are some pictures of us !

Visitors in P2.

Leave a comment

 

As part of primary 2’s topic, ‘Toys, Now and Then’ we have had some visitors who came into our classes to talk to us about the toys that they had when they were a child.

Who has visited ?

Our first visitor was Mrs Macdonald.  She showed the children a doll that she was given when she was just two years old ! The children learnt that the doll is one of her most prized possessions.  She has some memories of playing with it and dressing it and washing it in the bath.  Santa gave her the doll.

We also welcomed Mrs Davies from our school office. She brought in her clockwork toy teddy bear to show us.  She has taken very good care it as we learnt that it is over 50 years old.  She has even kept the box! She thinks that her mum and dad gave her this.

Matthew’s mummy came and showed us the silver cross pram and doll that she played with when she was a little girl.  We were most impressed with how new it looked.  She must have looked after it very well.

Finally, Mrs Hesketh who is one of our Pupil Support Workers, came in with three toys from the past.  She showed us her ‘Dressy Bessie’, a doll named Peter and her mummy’s doll , which we found out is 70 years old and made out of china.

What did we enjoy ?

Isabella – I liked having a shot of Matthews mummy’s doll.

Leo – I liked finding that Matthew’s mummy’s doll had eyes that opened.

Eleanor – I liked holding Peter the doll.

Damian – I liked holding Dressy Bessie because it has lots of things on the dress.

Lucia – I liked Dressy Bessie because you could learn how to do laces and buttons.

Lovisa – I liked Mrs Macdonald’s doll because it was soft.

Patryk – I liked to hear that Mrs Macdonald’s doll had it’s own bath.

Andrew – I liked Mrs Davies’ bear because their was a magnet on it’s paw to open the pages of the book.

Haziq – I liked Mrs Davies’ bear because you could wind it up.

Thank you to our special visitors for helping us with our topic.

Celebrating ‘Roald Dahl Day’ in P2.

Leave a comment

Image result for roald dahl

We had lots of fun today as part of ‘Roald Dahl Day’.  This special day falls on the 13th of September each year as that is the date that he was born.  During this day, schools up and down the country celebrate his life and his wonderful books.  So, what did we do ?

As part of the celebrations we heard the excellent story, ‘The Enormous Crocodile’.  We all enjoyed the story so much, (giving it a rating of 5 out of 5) that we wrote book reviews, drew our favourite part of the story and retold the story in our own words.

Keilidh drew and painted the Enormous Crocodile which we used on our frieze, (this is in the main corridor).

As well as looking at this book, we also spoke about some of Roald Dahl’s other famous books including, ‘The Twits’, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, and ‘The BFG’.  Thank you to Leo for bringing in his box set of books for us to look at.  In the afternoon we joined the rest of the school to watch a theatre company perform ‘Matilda’.  As Roald Dahl himself used to say, ‘It has been a whoopsy-splunker day’.  This translated means, ‘It has been a fantastic day’.

Some book reviews.

Minibeast Adventure

Leave a comment

Primary 2 have been enjoying the lovely weather. We took our learning outside as part of our ‘Living Things’ topic. We went on a minibeast adventure and searched for any living things. We used our skills in technology to take pictures using the iPad. We even learned how to zoom in and out.

We are looking forward to learning even more this week!

Eco Team aka Park Designers.

Leave a comment

Today, some of our Eco Team met with Christine Lee from Sutcliffe Play as a new park is going to be built in the Badger’s Brook area of Broxburn. She gave us free reign to design what we think the park should look like.   As you can imagine, this was very exciting, after all, it is not every day that you get to do this.

To do this, we worked  in groups to choose themes for the park.  Popular themes included, animals, the zoo and nature.  We drew a plan of the park and then used our imaginations to draw what we think the park should look like. Our designs are fantastic !  Christine will now take these away and will choose the best parts from each in her final design. We will keep you all posted as to what the park will look like when we see the final plan.

This week Primary 2 have been very busy! We were lucky enough to visit the library for a talk about Malawi, have a talk about Mrs Renshaw’s trip to Malawi and began to sort all of the items for our Malawi Appeal.

Liam – Moni means hello in Chichewa.

Flynn – Bambo means father in Chichewa.

Catherine – Mayi means mother in Chichewa.

Leon – The weather is boiling hot!

Mya – There is a big mountain.

Thomas – People live until they are around 55 in Malawi.

Safaa – The ladies wear a Chitenji which is a nice dress.

Lucas Curran – The people are poor but they are very happy.

Lucia – The school in Malawi doesn’t have much stuff but they will get some stuff from our Malawi Wee Bag Appeal.

Michael – Malawi is a land locked country.

Oliver – Malawi is known as the ‘Warm Heart of Africa’.

Santiago – Zikomo means thank you.

Martyna – They don’t have walls in their schools.

Adam – The stars in Malawi are really bright.

Freyja – It took Mrs Renshaw 2 days to climb the mountain in Malawi.

We have had lots of fun learning all about Malawi!

Thinking Thursday Tower Challenge

Leave a comment

Primary 2 were given the challenge to work as a team to build a tower that was taller than the table and held one pencil on the top without falling over! At first we thought it was an impossible task. However, we worked together in our teams using our logical thinking skills to solve the problem. We evaluated our learning at the end and we even had a winning group who worked very well as a team creating a strong and secure tower.

Check out some of our towers!

It’s Almost Christmas!

The whole school is buzzing in the lead up to Christmas. The trees are up, classrooms are decorated, and there’s lots of elves keeping an eye on the classrooms!

We have a few more exciting things planned before the holidays though!

Friday 9th December – Dress Down Day

The children are invited to come to school dressed in their home clothes (or Christmas clothes if they like). Please can each child bring £1 if they are dressing down?

Wednesday 14th December – Christmas Jumper Day

This year the school is joining in with the national event, raising money for Save The Children. The children (and staff) are invited to wear a Christmas jumper on this day. If you don’t have one, don’t worry! You can  just jazz up a normal jumper with tinsel, or safety pin baubles on. There are lots of ideas online. Please can each child donate £1 on this day if they are dressing up. It is for such a great cause. If you would like to read more about it, please go to www.christmasjumperday.org.

Thank you for your support!

Also, just a reminder that we would please like all children to come to school wearing a white shirt and their school tie on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of next week.

Hibernian Persevere Tour

Leave a comment

We had a motivational visit from Hibernian Football Club today to speak about how perseverance helped them to win the Scottish Cup. We know that the word ‘Persevere’ is a verb which means “to continue… even in the face of difficulty.”  Learning can be tricky at times, but with all the work we have done around growth mindsets, we know that mistakes show us where we need to improve and can lead to deeper learning.

We also saw the Scottish Cup and, those children who wanted to, got our pictures taken with it.

Many thanks to Hibernian Football Club staff for coming to see us today!

St Nicholas is celebrating Halloween…

on Friday the 28th of October.  St Nicholas pupils can, if they wish, take part in the traditional Scottish activity of ‘guising’ for Halloween on Friday of this week.  Mums and dads, please be sensible and make sure that costumes aren’t too frightening – we don’t want our younger children to be scared.  Thank you.

Fantastic Mr Fox!

Leave a comment

We’re all just back from a fantastic afternoon, watching a travelling theatre company perform ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’.  In celebration of one of our children’s favourite authors, Roald Dahl, all our boys and girls from Nursery to P7, watched the production.  At St Nicholas Primary, we love Roald Dahl because there are always morals in his stories and great characterisation, making them suitable for young and old.

Today was a super day with lots of great things happening.  What did we do ?

Lots of classes completed their book themed  wall/classroom door.

We brought in books to swap with a friend in our class.  We all went home with a new book.

A different teacher read a story to us.

P5 played ‘Book Cluedo’.  We now have an idea who took Mrs Brown’s books ! All will be revealed tomorrow.

Book Week Update

1 Comment

 

We have been having a fantastic week this week, celebrating book week.

We have been engaging in lots of activities all week, and still have plenty to go.

This week we have been enjoying lots of paired reading (reading to others in the school). Primary 1 particularly enjoyed the primary 7 boys and girls reading to them.

Primary 4-7 have been going on a ‘Cluedo Quest’. Someone stole all the books from Mrs Brown’s office! They have been answering clues, leading them all around the school, to help them work out who did it!

We have been receiving some amazingly creative photos for our Extreme Reading competition. They are all on display in the gym hall. We have had children reading whilst hula hooping; upside down; in the dogs bed; on the moon; standing on top of a giant peach; on a horse; in a tree and many more!

Our teachers have been challenging us this week as well. There is a display in the gym hall, with lots of teachers hiding behind their favourite books. It is really tricky to work out who is who!

We have all been working as a class to create an imaginative display based on a favourite book, or a number of favourite books.  We can’t wait to see which class wins this competition on Friday.

 

—

We still have many more activities to do as well!

Tomorrow (Thursday) we are participating in a book swap in the classes. Every child has been asked to bring in a book they no longer want, or read, and it will be swapped with someone else, meaning we all go home with a new book to enjoy.

Also tomorrow our teachers are all swapping classes to read a story to another class.

But the thing we are most looking forward to is the chance to dress up as our favourite book character on Friday (Nursery is on Thursday)! We have been discussing costumes all week. There is a prize for the most imaginative costume from each year group.

Keep checking back for more updates!

Primary 1 & 2’s Library Visit

Leave a comment

Today, primary 1 and 2 had a fantastic afternoon. We visited the local library. We met the author and the lead character of the children’s books Badger The Mystical Mutt.

Badger is a large black and white dog, who loves toast, and is awfully cheeky! He is also very good at magic. We watched him perform a number of magic tricks, in between annoying Laura, the author.

We also listened to a short extract from the first book.

It really was a brilliant afternoon. Thank you so much to the library and to Laura and Badger.

Our Local area

Leave a comment

Primary 3 and 3/2 are learning about Our Local Area this term as part of our school topic on Scotland.

This week for homework we interviewed our mum and dads about why they chose to live in this area. We found out that some of them chose to live here because it is a nice area, it is quiet, its very green, houses are cheaper than in Edinburgh so they could buy bigger houses and a lot of our families live here. Some families have lived here for over 20 years and others are new to the area.

Next week, we are going for a walk along Broxburn main street to look at the different shops and buildings we can see. We are then going to build Broxburn in our area. Please make sure you have a water proof jacket for our walk on Monday. If you have any old cardboard boxes could you please bring them into school to help us to build our 3D model of Broxburn. Thank you.

We will post photographs of our model when we are finished it. We can’t wait to start this next week.

Primaries 2 and 2/1 were very excited by Rudey’s message this morning.  He has rewarded us for all of our good behaviour and hard work with a popcorn and movie afternoon.  This will be a lovely way to spend our final day with Rudey!  He has really enjoyed visiting our classrooms this year and will be heading back to The North Pole to make the final preparations for Christmas.  Goodbye Rudey, we will miss you!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This morning Primaries 2 and 2/1 were confused when they entered their classrooms as there was no sign of Rudey!  They were worried that he had gone back to The North Pole early.  However, Mrs Leonard came in with some interesting news!  She asked us to come down to the photocopying room to investigate.  On the walls were selfies of the two Rudey’s which they had taken using the photocopier over the weekend.  They also left us a note saying they were bored without us.  Mrs Brown also came to investigate and said that we should keep the photographs as evidence of their naughty behaviour to show Santa.

Arran H – I was very shocked when Rudey wasn’t in our classroom.

Finlay F – I was amazed to see that Rudey had used the photocopier.

Matthew M – I was a bit sad to see that Rudey wasn’t there.

Zach – I think that Rudey should go home with us over the weekend to show him how to behave properly.

We hope that Rudey’s behaviour will be better tomorrow!

Today, Primaries 2 and 2/1 had another surprise. They came into their classroom to discover Rudey reading the Nativity Story to the teddy bears and dolls!

He left us a letter asking us to teach him more about this story.

Zach- It was a little bit like when the teacher reads the story and we have milk.

Cerys- I want to teach Rudey that Christmas isn’t about getting presents, it is about Jesus’ birthday.

Connor G- Rudey needs to be taught that Christmas isn’t just about Santa, it is about the day Jesus was born in a barn!

The children are going to learn as much as they can about the Nativity story and teach Rudey the true meaning of Chrismas.

This is what they said:

Dear Primaries 2 and 2/1,

What a boring weekend we have had! We have been so lonely in your classrooms without you all! Luckily, we found each other and managed to get up to a little bit of mischief! Don’t you just love the snow?!

Dear P2 / P2/1,

I am sad to see that there are no sparkly snowflakes in your classroom.  I thought that you would have enjoyed your treat yesterday!  I am feeling a bit sad and missing home so I need you to make your classroom look more like The North Pole.  I am not moving from here until I start to feel more at home!

Primaries 2 and 2/1 had a very special visitor from the North Pole! He is called Rudey and he is one of Santa’s elves. Santa wrote us a letter explaining that Rudey needs help. He is a very naughty elf and he needs to learn some good behaviour from the boys and girls.

On the 1st of December, Rudey left a terrible mess in our classrooms! We had to teach Rudey how to tidy up properly. We also made our own paper elves and painted a huge elf for our classroom doors.

On the 2nd of December, Rudey was very nice. He left us scissors, paper and glitter. He has written a letter thanking us for making him feel welcome and has rewarded us with craft materials to make snowflakes!

Justin- He is very cheeky!

Ciaran- He is magic.

Daniel- He is naughty.

Matthew M- He is kind and a little naughty sometimes.

Connor- I felt excited.

Anna- He is not tidying up properly.

Neve W- I was shocked!

P2 are shape detectives

1 Comment

Primary 2 have been learning all about the features of 2D and 3D shape.  They know how to count the corners (vertices), faces and edges.  The children were shape detectives at home and searched for 3D shapes in their house to make their very own 3D objects.  They used their imagination and created a wonderful selection of objects.  Some of their objects include robots, a house,  a mouse, a church, a skylander, a car  and a doctor’s needle.  The children enjoyed showing their friends their hard work and talking about the shapes that they used.  Here are some photographs to show all of our hard work.

Thank you to all of the mum’s and dad’s for helping the children on their projects!
