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.
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! 
P5A have been asking to go to the forest as we haven’t been for a while. They showed super teamwork when building dens in the wind! It was quite a challenge with the very large tarpaulins! 
P5A created wonderful portraits of people from the time of the Scottish Wars of Independence. They used black paper, chalk pastels and glue! They look very effective
Primary 5A have been learning about weapons used during the Scottish Wars of Independence. They used their knowledge to build a replica weapon using k’nex. They showed super teamwork and were successful building their weapons. We had lots of different weapons including war swords, a mace, a long spear and a war dagger.
P5A enjoyed trying out Minecraft Education today. We used it to further our learning about area and perimeter. The class did a great job teaching Mrs Muir about Minecraft! Thanks team!
P5 have been learning about Coat of arms as part of their Scottish Wars of Independence topic. They have created their own shields using symbols that you would find back in the 13th century. Ask us about the symbols we have chosen
Today the Eco Warriors worked hard to write letters to local companies requesting donations for loose parts for our outdoor learning. Fingers crossed we hear good news soon!
