P4 had a fabulous time today trying out the new school scooters. We had a great session with the instructors where we played games and even had a go at limbo on a scooter. We look forward to trying them out again soon!

WW2 Context P7B
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.
P4 SSPCA workshop
P4 had a wonderful morning session with the SSPCA education officer. We learned all about their job and became rescue officers ourselves when we had to solve the problems that had happened to the different animals. We then got to do some coding and plan some sequences for our robotic animals. It was great fun!
P5, P5/4 and P4 Fischy Music
We were lucky to have the opportunity to take part in a Fischy Music session last week. Everyone was so excited to see the people from Fischy Music who we have seen so many times on screen in Assemblies! We sang songs that we know so well and we learned a few new songs too. One of the songs reminded us of the importance of friendship and the qualities that make a good friend.
We really enjoyed our learning and Miss Cameron, Miss Beattie and Miss Marra certainly spotted some future performers among us. We are looking forward to using some of the new songs we learned to support our learning in class.

P3 Art
The pupils drew still life pictures using beautiful flowers as their inspiration. They were trying to add lots of detail. Amazing concentration and great works of art.
Primary 1 Music
On Monday we had an exciting and active music session with Fischy Music. We danced and sang to some familiar and some new songs. Primary 1 had a great time!
In class we were busy preparing for the Fayre at Tots Spot on Saturday. We have practised our measuring to make reindeer food to sell at the fayre.
P3 Fischy Music
This week we were very lucky to receive a visit from Fischy Music. It was amazing to see them as we sing their songs during assembly most weeks. We got to sing and dance along to tunes we know and learn some new ones too. Great fun was had by all.
P1 Book Week
We’ve had lots of fun this week during Book Week. We read about Arlo , the lion who couldn’t sleep, and made our own Arlos with a song that helps us to sleep too. We looked at a non-fiction book and made our own woodland animals book for our class library. The book ‘Inch and Grub’ explored friendships and showed us what was important. We thought about what made a good friend and put our ideas on friendship flowers. We also chose a book and used a scene to make a window display.
Our week ended with Children In Need Day. Many thanks for your kind donations.
P3 Book Week
We had lots of fun activities to help in our learning this week. We received new books for our class library and have been reading them each day when the bell rang to tell us to ‘Drop everything & read’. We were read some new stories and created a big display with our ideas from the book Octopus Shocktopus. We used an idea from the book to design and label our perfect house. We took part in ‘design a book mark’ competition. We learned about exclamation marks and found some in books in the class. We listened to David Williams & Julia Donaldson on Author’s Live. We took our books to the playground to read during Outdoor Learning. We found verbs in our reading books, completed some Readingwise and Giglets tasks and we each received our ‘Read, Write, Count’ bags containing two new books and lots of other surprises.
West Lothian Museum Services -P7B
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.
