We made the most of Thursday being outdoor learning day, not just on Thursday but all week!
On Tuesday we took our reading outside. 
On Wednesday we took our Maths outdoors. Eoin was practising his times tables and Glen and Alex were counting the daisy’s!
Have a lovely long weekend and we will see you on Tuesday.
Primary one got a big surprise this week when a friendly dragon visited their classrooms and left a letter.
He asked if we could help rebuild Fairyland. We all agreed we could help by reading more fairy tales and we talked about our favourite ones. Some of us went to the library to look for books and we have coloured dragon pictures.
We had lots of good ideas about what would make a good home for a dragon. We think the dragon would feel safe and cosy in our class castle or cave. He would be delighted with his new home!
We hope to hear from him again soon!
This week in P2 it was outdoor classroom day on Thursday so we took our maths lesson outside. We have been looking at time and decided to draw clocks to show the time and some of us even made a human clock.
Fabulous learning P2!
This week Primary 4A participated in the West Lothian Sumdog contest.
We are very proud to come 10th out of the 233 classes who participated.
Well done Primary 4A!
This week we went on a trip to the Owl Centre at Polkemmet Country Park. In the morning we met different owls and played a game to help us understand what they eat. Next we got to look round all the cages and try to find answers to different questions. Then we had a flying display where we found out even more information. We also got to play at the Owl Park which had a huge owl slide. In the afternoon we went on a forest walk and played some outdoor games, making us think about our natural surroundings. Finally we got to play at the park where they had a big wooden castle, dragon swing and flying fox. It was great fun!
Yesterday we cleaned out our gerbilarium. Before we cleaned out their cage we needed to put them in their exercise balls. Pepper was very good and likes going in her exercise ball. Salt however didn’t want to get in her ball. Daniel and Leah had to use her favourite tube to put her into her ball. It took lots of teamwork. Once they were out of the cage team 2 cleaned it out.
It was really fun to clean out our gerbils. We need to do this every week. We work in teams of 4.
We have been busy this week in P1b learning how to write a recount.
We looked at a book called ‘Shopping with Dad’ and talked about things we have bought at the shops. We learned that it is important to sequence events in the correct order.
When we were writing we remembered to use a capital letter and a full stop at the start of each sentence. We also used finger spaces. We are learning to create a title for our writing and we are trying hard to write more tricky words by ourselves.
In Maths this week we have been learning to use position words.
We can use words like left, right, above, below, next to, on top and beside, to describe the position of objects.
We worked with our buddies to stick things in the correct location on our maps. Then we made some maps of our own.
Great job everyone!
Article 28. We have the right to learn.
This week we started to learn about exclamation marks. We got out our reading books and had to hunt through them to see if we could find exclamation marks. Then we wrote them on the board. We then thought of sentences that sound different if they had a full stop instead of an exclamation mark. We then worked with our elbow partners to come up with our own sentences and write them on the desk. Then we shared them with the class.
Now that our gerbils have been in class for a few days we have started putting our hands in with some treats. Salt and Pepper both took a small treat from us today.
Salt and Pepper have been settling into our class this week. Salt is very confident and loves to watch us learn. Pepper can be a little more nervous so we are helping her adjust to our classroom by sitting with her quietly and offering her some treats.
