Lights,Camera,Action! P7S were fortunate enough to visit Sky Academy this morning to produce their own News Report on Cyberbullying. Each group were assigned their own studio and roles. From Directors, Producers and Editors to Camera Operatives, Presenters and Reporters. Having previously worked on their brief in school the class were ready to prepare and film their report. It was great to see such amazing teamwork at work and the final cut was both informative and entertaining. Well done P7S!
- Today is World Read Aloud Day so P7S as well as taking advantage of this in class linking our reading to our World War 2 context also decided we wanted to share our skills with P1. We had great fun reading aloud to a very appreciative younger audience.
P7S would like to thank Mrs Liddell for visiting us yesterday from West Lothian Library Services. We had the opportunity to handle a range of artefacts from WW2. We looked at a variety of uniforms and some of us (see embarrassing photographs!) even got the chance to try some on. We heard all about food and clothes rations, did you know you were only allowed 2oz of cheese and butter a week! Mrs Liddell has kindly agreed to join us in March for our Sharing the Learning Session so you will also be able to experience WW2 brought to life! We look forward to welcoming you….watch this space!
Congratulations ! It was great to hear at the recent Broxburn Swimming Club Presentation that you were awarded the Female 10-11 years Champion. You told us you had to work really hard to achieve the award so you must be really proud of yourself, as are we. Brilliant…The Olympics are calling!
Thank you so much to the two members of our class who brought in precious World War 2 artefacts for us to look at. It was great to hear you tell us all about your relatives and the different roles they played in WW2. Stories like these and artefacts for the class to hold really make our WW2 context come alive. Next week we are looking forward to Mrs Liddell joining us from Library Services. She will bringing a whole host of WW2 artefacts from Ration Books,Kit bags and ID cards to Gas Masks and medals. Watch this space!
What a fantastic achievement! You told us how after competing in different motorbike racing categories over the summer you achieved 4 3rd places….Brilliant!
Today P7 welcomed Fiona Shaw who is a Development Officer for Education Scotland. Her role is to work with schools to ensure everyone has equality of opportunity, particularly with careers and subject choice. We engaged with a variety of tasks which raised our awareness of stereotypes . There was a lot of thought provoking conversations which really made us all think about unconscious bias. Many thanks to Fiona for joining us.
Just a reminder that the P7 Leavers’ Party will be now held on Wednesday 19th June at Innoflate in Livingston 6pm-8pm The children will bounce for an hour and then eat….probably best it is in this order! With their amazing fund raising activities earlier in the year and a kind donation from the PSC the children have managed to cover both the cost of their hoodies and their night out…what an amazing achievement! Any parents who would like to stay and help are more than welcome. Children must be picked up by a known adult at the end of the evening. Let’s BOUNCE!!!
Time is absolutely flying by in P7 and it will not be long till we wave goodbye to our Class of 2018. With this in mind here is an important date for your diary! Leavers’Assembly – Thursday 20th June 1.30pm start. Can we also take this opportunity to ask if you have not yet handed in a photo for the assembly if we could have this by Friday please. Thank you for your continued support
We had a great time honing our technology skills with Dr Cherry at West Calder High School this morning. I hope your spatula comes in handy over the Christmas period!
