Today we came into school wearing odd socks. We raised money for charity.
We thought about what bullying is and how it can make other people feel.

P5/4C all turned out in their odd socks today to support the Anti-Bullying Alliance; they also created their own pairs of mismatched socks. A big thank you to you all for your generous donations to this very worthwhile cause.

We have been learning about firework safety this week. One of our P4’s created a sparkling example of a 3D firework shown below.
P3-4 Lego Club
We had great fun completing our challenges today. We were trying to build houses and street scenes. One had a bank which had eight levels of security while another house came with a pond in it’s garden!
Arghhhhhhhhh!
This term in P2W we are learning all about pirates. Today we were learning about famous pirates and what they did a long, long time ago. Captain Abigail set us a challenge to find out about how to become amazing pirates and we think we have got off to a great start.
We spent time this afternoon creating our own pirate names using our favourite colour and favourite animal. We created some brilliant names that made us giggle!
Next we created our own pirate puppets which we used during our Positive Play time. We had so much fun!
Article 13: We have the right to find out things and share what we think with other.
World War 1 and Remembrance
Primary 7/6L had an excellent workshop yesterday looking at the importance of Remembrance Day and Armistice Day. We learnt all about the Poppy and why it is a symbol of Remembrance. We also learnt a lot about World War 1. Alan Hamilton from the Royal British Legion visited our class yesterday to share with us his wealth of knowledge and personal experience in the armed forces and of East Calder Primary School and local area as a former pupil himself. Not only has Alan served in the army but he shared with us the experiences of both his great uncle who fought during World War 1 and his father who fought during World War 2. After lunch we learnt all about local people from East Calder who had been soldiers during the war and visited East Calder Cemetery to lay poppy crosses. Before leaving Alan shared with us the wonderful story of his Uncles army whistle he was given in 1916! What a journey his whistle has had! A very valuable learning experience yesterday which taught us all the importance of Remembrance Day.

Primary 5/4C Homework
A fantastic piece of homework came in today all about Resilience. This P4 pupil combined literacy skills with our Health & Wellbeing Resilience outcome, using features of a comic strip to describe how this person in his life had inspired him with their resilience in the face of adversity. Great work!
