Counting counts – P7
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! 
Problem solving in P6
Today, P6 were given a length of string and a piece of chalk, they were then asked to figure out how to draw a perfect circle. Have a look at what they came up with!
We discovered the relationship between the radius and diameter, whilst having some fun outdoors at the same time.
Colin or Cuthbert? Expositions- P6
We have certainly been on a journey in P6 and the question that started it all…who is in the right, Colin on Cuthbert? We used a topical news story about one supermarket suing another supermarket to explore our spoken and written expositions – starting with some fact finding, moving onto debates and then progressing to some persuasive writing. Some pupils challenged themselves and applied their learning to digital platforms.
West Lothian SumDog Contest
We are currently 9th out of 355 schools in the West Lothian SumDog Contest, keep up the hard work P6!
Well done to everyone who has contributed so far!
P6 & P6/5 Remote learning – Victorians.
We were extremely happy to have a virtual session with Maureen Liddell today from the West Lothian Living Memory Association. Maureen delivered an educational and interactive session all about a day in the life of a Victorian. Maureen showed us some local Victorian artefacts, explained their function and linked them to our present day lives. We learned about a whole host of aspects, including: Victorian tooth powder, manufacturing, clothing, school paraphernalia, washing, hygiene, Victorian homes, etiquette and more!
We will now be able to extend our learning of this and continue to explore the context further.
The Royal Zoological Society – Giant Panda & Mandarin.
In Primary 6 and Primary 6/5 we were lucky enough to have some online lessons from Sandie (The Project Coordinator for Languages) from The Royal Zoological Society. Sandie taught us some interesting scientific facts about Pandas and we also got the chance to learn some Mandarin.
Who knew that pandas had a hidden bone which acts as a thumb and that pandas poo 50 times a day! They go through a lot of bamboo. We learned about the life cycle of a panda , along with some interesting information about their habitats in China. We enjoyed an explanation of the history of Chinese symbols and we helped to decipher the symbols for different habitats.
