Primary 7/6C and Primary 7S- Competition

West Lothian Council Museums are putting on an exhibition to commemorate World War 2. This term Primary 7S and Primary 7/6C are learning about key events from the 20th Century, including World War 2.

We would like to invite pupils to submit a model of a WW2 shelter as an entry in our Build an Anderson Shelter competition. The best model will be included in the exhibition. The base of the model should be between A4 and A3 in size and it can be made of any material. There will be a small prize for the winning entry. Please send photos of your entries by the end of May to museums@westlothian.gov.uk

Good Luck! Image result for anderson shelter

P5J Outdoor Learning

Primary 5J have been enjoying learning about quadrilaterals and triangles outside. We can now identify and talk about rhombus, parallelograms, trapeziums, as well as, isosceles and equilateral triangles. We enjoyed making these shapes with our bodies to prove that we could remember their key features and differences.

P4S Achievement

Very well done for working so hard on your gymnastics you gained these trophies at the awards night. One of you being the Best Newcomer and the other the Most Improved Gymnast.

P6A – Reflections of symmetry

We explored the lines of symmetry in our alphabet and a range of 2D shapes, then we have fun applying our understanding to create and complete some symmetrical pictures.

P6A – A positive chain reaction.

What an amazing term it has been with an amazing bunch! We ended this term on a positive note, talking about how our thoughts influence our feelings, which then influence our behaviour. Here are some of our paper chain reactions. #positivityrules

P7 Residential Experience at Lockerbie Manor

LOCKERBIE MANOR

Our P7 pupils visited Lockerbie Manor last month for a week of outdoor activities and new experiences. The weather was rather challenging for them and in true Scottish style they experienced wind, rain, hail and sun all in one week! The pupils showed determination and perseverance with the activities and the Lockerbie Manor staff commended them on their good behaviour and positive attitude. Here are some more pictures taken by Mrs Aitken when she visited them at camp.
