What a haul of medals and trophies! Not only did you win the 7-12 boys Gala Race you also came second in the older 12-15 category. Great to see your name on the football trophy as player of the tournament. Congratulations a great achievement!
We would love to hear about any other Gala success stories!
Congratulations for running your first 5k marathon. You competed in a race with 18 year olds but still managed to be the 24th girl to cross the line and placed 84th out of a 160 people,amazing! This was some achievement coupled with the fact you raised over £400 for a charity. We are all so proud of you!
Our lovely Education Officer is leaving to take up a new post. The boys and girls in The Hive always enjoyed his visits so we made him a card and he popped down to see us on Wednesday. Good luck in your new job Mr McDermott! We’ll miss you.
P7B were fortunate enough to visit Sky Academy this week. Sky Academy Studios uses the power of TV and innovation to open young minds and develop young people’s Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. Our day out included
As you can see from the images below we have some budding Producers,Editors,Directors,Scriptwriters and there should be an Oscar nominations for our Presenters and Experts! Well done to our fantasic Cameramen/women who filmed the whole experience.
As we come to the end of our WW2 context in 7B I would just like to say a big thank you to the members of the class who brought in their precious WW2 family artefacts. It was great for the class to see and handle these items as it really added a personal touch, allowing the class to see how war impacted families throughout Scotland.
Fantastic to welcome Maureen Liddell fromWest Lothian Museum Services to our class today. She shared with us a range of aretefacts and stories relating to our current context of WW2. We learnt about how our country prepared for war,discussing rationning,evacuation and shelters. The class were fortunate enough to handle a range of artefacacts including a gas mask,identity cards,ration coupons and even an ARP warden helmet. This visit links closely to the work we are doing in PM writing at the moment where we are looking closely at the features and layout of a recount.
Congratulations to these members of 7B for their achievements outside of school. We have the rosettes for 2 clear rounds in a jumping competition at a local horse riding school, quite the achievement! The medal was for an unbeatable season with Murieston United girls team, amazing! What a talented pair. If you would like to share any achievements from outside of school please let us know. We would love to showcase your talents, and remember an achievement can be anything you are proud of !
Congratulations to these two very impressive members of P7B .Great achievements over the weekend in The Spartan Race and Livingston Athletics Club. In the Spartan a 4 k was completed with 15 obstacles and to win the medals in the Athletics event it was both the high jump and 75m hurdles. Brilliant!
We have linked all our Literacy tasks this week to celebrating Fairtrade Fortnight. We consolidated any previous learning we had surrounding Fairtrade by looking at a reading comprehension on Ethical Trading. This also allowed us to embed our knowledge of different question types, something we had looked at previously. We then completed a research task where the classes had to choose how they would display their findings. We were so impressed receiving News Reports, Audio Clips, PowerPoints, Leaflets and Posters!
On Wednesday we watched a clip called Tanya’s Journey which followed a girl from the UK as she travelled to visit Fairtrade Farmers abroad. We used this opportunity to introduce the idea of a recount and the features we would expect the class to use. This task involved a range of outcomes ranging from listening skills, note taking, summarising and creating a new text. Using a map of the world the children also looked how Fairtrade stretches across the globe and what factors relating to the landscape influence which products grow where. Finally, on Friday we are going to have a debate! We gave the classes some statements on Fairtrade and asked them, using their previous learning on expositions to decide which side of the argument they would support or oppose. We are looking forward to a heated debate!!
Alongside all our Fairtrade work we have also been looking at multiples and prime numbers in Maths and continued with our tasks set by Mrs Martin in Art and Mr Millar in P.E, P7 you must be exhausted! Thank you again for all your hard work this week.
Good afternoon P2B, parents and carers,
