School’s Technical Hitch!!

As our school is closed today, pupils can still have fun learning at home.  Have a look at the useful websites on our blog page (ABCYA.com) and participate in the maths, language, R.M.E and technology activities.

P1/2 can also practice their spelling and reading

P3/4/5 can also ensure they know all their lines for their school show and revise their spelling words for tomorrow

P5/6/7 can also practice song words for Merry Christmas Mr Scrooge as well as planning to write their own script for their writing activity next week

We will see you back at school tomorrow morning.

ROLL UP! ROLL UP!… READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!

P5/6/7 are proud to have produced the very first issue of The Torphichen Scoop.  Everyone in the class had a role to play, from photographers, weather reporters and editors, to environmentalists, reviewers and quiz masters.  It was a lot of hard work to have all reports to the editors for the deadline but it was a worthwhile project.  The newspaper was sold at our Christmas Fair for £1.  We have a few copies left.  Please ask the school for one.  All money raised is for our school funds.  Now we have done it once, we want to do it again!!

P3/4 – People who take care of us

P3/4 have had two very special visitors over the past week. Last Tuesday we welcomed PC Dunlop, a local policeman,  into class where he shared with us what his job involves day-to-day. This was a valuable learning experience for the children as they became aware of exactly how much the police do to ensure we are all kept safe. Today Mrs. Ewing visited, and gave us a presentation about her role as a physiotherapist. The pupils were eager to discover what her job entails and loved getting their hands on the models of various body parts! We asked PC Dunlop and Mrs. Ewing lots of questions to find out more about their professions and thoroughly enjoyed having them both in class. Thank you!
