Some excellent extended learning at home this week in P3R!
Inspired by our class novel ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes, we have two super Lego models.
One of our homework tasks was to draw a musical instrument and label how it works. Fantastic picture!
Well Done boys!
We have started to research the main political parties in the U.K. and Scotland, discussing Scotland’s devolved powers and researching the features of democracy.
Watch out for some of our manifestos, flyers, speeches and persuasive language; we will be holding our own P6A elections! After watching some party political broadcasts, we are going to make our own! We formed and named the following parties:
The Scottish Considerate Party; The Scottish Youth Party (SYP); Scottish Wildlife Party (SWP); Scottish Violet Party (SVP); Save the Ocean Party (STO).
The parties are yet to appoint leaders, stay tuned for the announcement of our election date, party policies and voting papers. Make your vote count!
Well done to P5C for their great efforts in this morning’s Rainforest Assembly. It’s a very busy time in school at the moment, so everyone did really well to practise their lines and remember what they should be doing and when. A huge ‘Thank You’ also to Mrs McBirnie for her amazing efforts – she certainly made you all look fabulous! Well done, P5C.
Just a reminder that P5C’s Rainforest Assembly is this Friday at 9.30 am – we hope you can join us!
We have had a successful start to the new term in P3R with some super writing!
This week we were listening to Chapter 1 in the story of ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes.
We have been writing about what we think would happen next in the story.
We used our target checklist to peer assess our partner’s work and gave them positive feedback.
We also have been thinking about our next steps in writing for this term. Some of us are working on spelling, punctuation or vocabulary.
We can’t wait to find out what happens next in the story.
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! 
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.
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.
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.
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
