Respect, Achieve, Include, Nurture
It looks great in our poly tunnel and we can’t wait to use it later this week. 
Well done to everyone at Carmondean for doing a huge litter pick today in our school grounds and in the surrounding area. Every class took part and we collected a lot of litter. This was part of the Spring Clean initiative! 
Here are photos from P5A.
Three teams of four P6’s recently took part in the heats for Euroquiz 2025 alongside over 100 other teams across West Lothian! Euroquiz is an annual project open to P6 pupils across Scotland which sees teams working together to answer (tricky!) questions all about Europe. A lot of hard work went into revising for this quiz and everyone should be very proud of their efforts!
P6 really enjoyed taking part in the badminton festival last week alongside other cluster schools! There were lots of different activities set up for us to try which was great fun!
The class loved their trip to Bannockburn centre. The children learned about the tactics used at the battle of Bannockburn and tried on the different types of armour the soldiers wore.
Primary 1 have been loving learning all about what life was life when their grandparents were in Primary 1! They interviewed a family member to hear what school, houses and technology was like in the past. Miss Munro pretended to be a strict teacher from the past, making the children sit at desks and not allowed to talk! We had lots of fun trying out the old fashioned classroom but were glad when we could play again!
They also loved learning about lots of different games and hobbies that children used to play in the past! We learned how to play Peevers (hopscotch), skipping and Kirbie. In class we loved playing Pick-a-Stick, Jacks and Dominoes!
This week, P5B presented their solo talks which was based on a character from the 13th century. Everyone did an amazing job presenting their PowerPoints and posters to the class. Well done!
Our fabulous dance team performed brilliantly in the West Lothian Dance Festival. They showed confidence, and rhythm as they danced to ‘Disturbia’ on stage.
We were lucky to have some visitors today who helped teach us about climate change. Jim and James from Livingston Outlet Centre visited us as they needed our help! Did you know there are over 1000 workers at the centre? That is a lot of journeys to and from work and a lot of carbon emissions from cars. They have worked out that 100 trees need to be planted every year to offset this carbon emission. We helped them today by planting 5 Silver birch trees with the help from Jack who is a tree expert. We worked well in teams and know how to look after our new trees. We are all Eco Warriors! 
Primary 6B had a wonderful time at the Deans Cluster Festival this morning. They took part in lots of different stations and activities to practise their badminton skills.
