Primary 1
Welcome back Primary 1!
We have had a very busy week learning to tell the time. We are learning to tell the time to the hour and the half hour.
We have also been doing some lovely writing, working hard to remember finger spaces and to sound out our words.
On Monday we are all off to East Calder Library to choose new books, fingers crossed for good weather!
P4S Easter Egg Competition
After a little hiccup (totally my fault!!!!), P4 decorated eggs as part of their homework grid. They have been so creative. Well done everyone. Huge well done to our winner who created an underwater scene with three eggs.

Very well done. You took your learning to the next level for your personal talk on The Life or the Celts. Your shield, sword and helmet were amazing!

Lendrick Muir
LENDRICK MUIR
What a great time our P5 pupils and staff had at P5 Camp last week! They had a busy but very enjoyable time at Lendrick Muir and will have lots of happy memories about their time spent there with their friends. A special thanks goes to Miss Jamieson, Miss Cameron , Mrs Hearn and Mrs Sandison who accompanied the children to camp this year. Without our dedicated staff giving up their own time we would not be able to offer these valuable residential experiences for our pupils.
Autumn
Children in Nursery are noticing the seasonal changes with Autumn approaching. Many of them are bringing leaves (that have fallen and changed colour) and conkers into nursery to show their friends and to add to our Autumn Discovery Tray.
Discovery Tray
At Group Time we have been discussing Autumn with the children and introduced a game ‘Knock Knock Knock, Whats in the Box?’ with Autumn pictures, books, leaves, apples, conkers, pine cones etc to extend their interest and allow the children to share their knowledge with their group.
‘Knock Knock Knock, Whats in the Box?’
Autumn Walk/EE2 Forms
We will hopefully be organising a local Autumn Walk with the children soon. Although we need to arrange all returning families to complete an EE2 form before we can do this. Please look out for this in the coming weeks. A prompt return of the form would be appreciated so we will have time to go ahead with a walk.
