Parents/Carers,
Could we please remind you of the importance of sending your child’s reading book and homework diary every day. This allows us to do additional tasks with your child to further improve their learning and keep you updated with their progress. Tricky words should also be brought in each week.
Thank you for all your support!
This week we took part in Book Week Scotland 2019. We were set many challenges to try and complete during our literacy time.
P2W chose to recreate the front cover of one of our favourite books – Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. We worked so hard creating this that it took us one whole week! We are very proud of all the hard work, effort and teamwork that has went into our amazing door creation.
We have all our fingers and toes crossed in the hope that we win the competition on Monday!
Article 28: We have the right to learn.
P7 chose to recreate the front cover of the novel – Tom Gates Extra Special Treats(not) on our classroom door. We worked hard on this during the week but didn’t get it finished. During Fridays Assembly, Miss Morrison let some P7s stay back and try to finish our door, for book week!
Kaimee, Mollie, Ryan H, Logan, Alana, Harry and Erin all tried their hardest to try complete our door. They got a massive chunk completed. We only had a few more things to do after break! All of our book week doors will be judged on Monday.

Primary 5/4C spent time on Tuesday afternoon interviewing their reading buddies. They found out about their buddy’s favourite things to eat, favourite games and, most importantly, their favourite books!
Our little ones have been participating in ‘Look for a Book’ in East Calder this week.
They chose to hide some books in the library!!! We thought this was a great idea, please look out for the free books hidden next time you visit the library.
You too can participate in this fun initiative by buying books from our Book Sale (bags with information also provided) and hiding anywhere in the community.
A great start to Book Week Scotland; creating blurbs, designing book covers and having out first P7 Secret Reader session after break today.
As part of this week’s homework grid we had to design and build a firework. Here are some of our creations.
Primary 7S have been thinking about bullying this week and have been making an extra effort with friendships. We have also been making posters and the pupils in our class planned, designed then created a display to promote friendship within our school. Keep an eye on the blog for a picture of the finished product (we are currently waiting for the paint to dry).
Great effort this week P7! Have a lovely weekend.
