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.

Mathematical Art – Cubism
Article 29
You have the right to education which develops your personality, respect for other’s rights and the environment
We have been busy working on our mathematical artwork, which has been inspired by Cubist painters like Georges Braques, Pablo Picasso and Carlo Rossi. We learnt that Cubist painters used lots of shapes in their paintings. Sometimes they didn’t even look much like the object they painted.
We took this opportunity to revise our knowledge of the properties of 2D (number of sides and right angles, whether the shape was regular/irregular) and 3D shapes (faces, vertices and edges).
We also used our ICT skills by using Microsoft Office Word to type up what had inspired our own paintings.
Look at some of our masterpieces, or pop in and see them in the classroom!
Our Benchball Festival
Phew! We’re just back from a brilliant benchball festival up at Broxburn Academy. We played in teams against Kirkhill, Uphall, Broxburn, Pumpherston and Holy Family Primary Schools. We won lots of games and we all had a go. A wonderful time was had by all. Thanks a million to our adult helpers – Mrs Thomson, Mrs McPherson, Mrs Beagley, Mrs Devine and Mrs Langton.
Have a look at the fun we had.
The Great St Nicholas Bake Off!
P4, P4/3, P3 and P3/2 had their bake sale today. Thanks to everyone who came along to buy the delicious goodies we had to sell. Special thanks also to everyone who donated cakes, biscuits and other treats.
All money raised will go towards our Lenten appeal.
Science with Mr Chatterjee
As part of our ‘Human Body’ science topic, we have been looking at various aspects of our body. We have looked at the skeleton in detail and we are now moving on to look at the digestive system. Mr Chatterjee, Olivia’s dad and a plastic surgeon, came in to talk to us about our digestive system, our respiratory system, our circulatory system and our nervous system. He told us all about the work he does, and how he helps people who have had burns or other injuries to their hands. Mr Chatterjee reminded us all of the importance of being safe around fires, especially at bonfire night. We learned a lot and we had lots of questions for him.
Thanks for visiting us Mr Chatterjee and please come again soon!
Pancake Tuesday
Our Library Trip
P4 and P4/3 had a wonderful trip to Broxburn Library today. Diane read us lots of stories – they were very funny. We are looking forward to visiting the library again soon, perhaps with our parents at the weekend. We promised Diane that, as a thank you, we would help decorate Broxburn Library with some lovely Easter artwork.
Thanks to Mrs Ferguson, Rachel’s mum, for coming with us today.
