Have a look at the task some of us completed using Pixton for West Calder High. We had to write our own mini conversation in French.
We had a Spooktacular Friday dooking for apples and creating our very own spider Oreos. Our favourite part was eating them!
This week we linked our learning to Halloween.
We wrote spooky stories, and did some Halloween counting, adding, place value and code breaking.
On Wednesday some of The Hive children went on a walk to Almondell country park. We were looking for signs of Autumn.
“The leaves are falling off the trees” said Aria.
“The leaves are all yellow and red” said Eoin.
We had a great time!
Spooky happenings in P7! Happy Halloween everyone
We welcomed Michelle Sutherland from West Lothian Drug and Alcohol Service on Wednesday. Michelle spoke to us about identifying the different kinds of risks associated with the use and misuse of a range of substances.We discussed the impact that the misuse of substances can have on individuals, their families and friends. Moving forward East Calder has been chosen as a pilot school to work alongside WLDAS to create a HWB action plan which will then be used acoss West Lothian. Watch this space!
Well done to this creative and talented pupil who used leftover tin foil from her snack to create these amazing models!
We talked counting strategies in P7A today; looking at step counting, grouping and accuracy. We estimated our grains of rice and some of us were pretty accurate, some of us changed our estimation half way through based on how we chose to group and visual representation. We used our skills in addition and multiplication and didn’t even make too much of a mess!
