Primary 7/6L have been working on taking notes and using them to create a new piece of text in their own words. As part of our Interdisciplinary learning context on the wider world (USA) we have been learning about Key American figures including leaders, scientists and famous actors and singers. We then used our notes to create a biography using a piece of software called comic life.
Here are some of our results!
We are urgently looking for kind donations of the food listed below to donate to West Lothian Food Bank in time for Harvest Festival.

Consultations for 3 and 4 year olds will be held on Wednesday 27th November 5.10-6.40pm, details will follow shortly.
P5/4C have been talking about the ‘magic’ of numbers this week.
Ask your child about one of the ‘tricks’ of the 9 times table (there are a few!) and try out these two fantastic number problems from the NRICH maths website – they work every time, but can you work out WHY?
Medal winners in Gymnastics and Dance in P5/4C – well done!
A fantastic example of a Volcano in P4/3M. It even had facts all about Volcanoes displayed around it. Well done!

This week Primary 1 have been consolidating their learning of Jolly Phonics first sound group. (s, a, t, i, p, n) Look out for a page showing the sounds and actions coming home in the school bags soon.
Today we went to our House Groups for the first time and some of us shared our ideas about school. Well done Primary 1!
If possible please order your child’s lunch on line, it will save us a lot of time in class. Many thanks.
This week our writing lesson was great fun. We were given a person card with a job they would do and had to describe their character. Then we were given a setting card and we had to think of adjectives to describe it. Finally we were given a natural disaster card and had to write notes about what would happen. So we might have had a nurse on Mars when a hurricane happens or a farmer in a supermarket during an earthquake. It was hilarious!!! Next week we will be using these notes to write an imaginary story. We can’t wait to share the results.
