Pupils in P7S enjoyed their Christmas lunch today! We were signing along to the music and some of us even chose to sing karaoke and tell jokes using the school microphone.
Afterwards we enjoyed making Christmas crafts in class while listening to music. We are having a lovely afternoon in class!
Primary 7S pupils had a very busy day today!
Some of us went along to West Calder High School to learn how to make a spatula With Dr. Cherry as part of our transition, we had great fun although felt a bit apprehensive walking into the high school as we could see older pupils in their classrooms.
We were all learning to write a balanced argument in class and chose our subject area ensuring we were following the success criteria of writing in the third person, creating an introduction and making sure we had paragraphs detailing the pros and cons before concluding our work with our own opinion. We enjoyed including some research into our work by using ICT to enhance our knowledge.
The fire service were back in to see us this afternoon and worked with some pupils in our class to teach emergency first aid skills. All P7 pupils in our school have now had emergency first aid training so they will be prepared in any emergency situation.
Well done for a great day today P7, I am looking forward to what tomorrow brings. Remember you can wear your Christmas PJs to raise money for the charity Save the Children.
A little reminder that pupils in Technology group 2 will attend WCHS tomorrow at 9am and then on the 19th of December. The session for the 12th of December was moved to the 19th due to the school being closed to pupils for the upcoming election.
Please ensure you have handed in your EE2 or you will be unable to attend.

This week we enjoyed using our school library to research Scottish Inventors and complete our biographies which will be displayed in the wall in our classroom. Group 2 enjoyed working with Dr Cherry on a technology project as part of our transition, we were trying to draw lines without rulers to make shapes. Some pupils in P7 worked with Firefighters learning important life saving skills, ask us about this at home and we can teach you how to perform CPR. The Firefighters are returning next week to work with the pupils who did not have the opportunity this week, I know they are very excited to use the props to practise their life saving skills.
P7 chose to recreate the front cover of the novel – Tom Gates Extra Special Treats(not) on our classroom door. We worked hard on this during the week but didn’t get it finished. During Fridays Assembly, Miss Morrison let some P7s stay back and try to finish our door, for book week!
Kaimee, Mollie, Ryan H, Logan, Alana, Harry and Erin all tried their hardest to try complete our door. They got a massive chunk completed. We only had a few more things to do after break! All of our book week doors will be judged on Monday.

Primary 7S have been thinking about bullying this week and have been making an extra effort with friendships. We have also been making posters and the pupils in our class planned, designed then created a display to promote friendship within our school. Keep an eye on the blog for a picture of the finished product (we are currently waiting for the paint to dry).
Great effort this week P7! Have a lovely weekend.

Some of our Primary 6 and 7 pupils have been learning about Netball from Mr Millar on a Monday and Wednesday during their lunch break. Today after school the newly formed netball team played against other West Lothian schools in their first matches in the netball festival.
All children played very well and enjoyed the experience.
Well done everyone!
I was very impressed by the kindness, creativity and artistic skill of two busy girls in the playground this morning before the start of the school day. Both girls (P3 and P4) worked together to make patterns and jewellery designs using stones from our playground.
What a great start to the day girls!
P7S have had a fantastic week back after the October holiday. We have been working on a class writing project – we will reveal all soon; have been completing our work on shape and symmetry from last term by challenging ourselves using some tricky symmetry patterns; we have been developing our tennis skills in P.E with Mr Millar and Miss Morrison has been teaching us about emergency first aid (we hope we don’t need to use it).
We have a busy term ahead, keep an eye on the blog for our updates.
Primary 7S
Primary 7S have been very busy over the last few weeks! We have been learning about Money with Mr Kellock who has been visiting us from West Calder High School; Mr McInnes visited our classroom and ran a workshop on light photography; we learned about Showing Racism the Red Card with Derek and Chris, then wore red on Friday the 4th October to show our support for reducing racism. We have also been enjoying play in P7 and during Fun Time Friday we had the opportunity to play in our school nurture room, we had great fun! Some of us are feeling very proud to have been given a House Captain or Vice Captain job and we are looking forward to the duties we will undertake in this role.
We have also been celebrating wider achievements in P7S and a few of our classmates have been participating in swimming competitions and Taekwondo championships – have a look at their photographs below.
