Hello P6  – Happy Wednesday! I hope you and your families are all doing fine today! Just a wee thought…… As I left Linlithgow after school on Monday,  I passed  a house that had pictures of brightly coloured Rainbows in the window that children had drawn. It made me smile! It also made me think about the saying ‘After the rain there is always a rainbow!’ I don’t know if you have heard of that but it means that sometimes when things happen that make you feel a bit fed up or sad, something positive can come out of it- a bit like seeing a rainbow after the rain! I now notice that the little girl who lives in the house opposite me is putting up pictures she is doing at home in her window for people to see! It is making me smile to see her pictures and when people are out for a bit of fresh air, they stop briefly to look at her art work –  I see them smiling too! I wondered if this was something you would like to do ? Please ask your parents if this is ok before you do it though – you always need to ask permission! Have a great rest of your day!

This week we had the opportunity to design a book bag and enter it into a competition. We look forward to finding out the results.

Here are some of our amazing book bags.

We also brought a book in and were able if we wanted to swap it for another book.  We enjoyed this fun way of getting a new book.

Mr Reed was amazed at how much sponsorship money was raised for our Wellie Walk on Friday and as soon as all the money is counted we will find out how much we raised. We a;ll want to say thank you for sponsoring us.

Primary 6

This week has been full of new and exciting learning in Primary 6. The weather forced our FUTSAL session to be held in the hall but as it was pretty cold we did not mind.

Tuesday was Pancake day and Mr Reed spent time with every child and with a little help made a delicious pancake. We all expected some to end up on the ceiling or floor but Mr Reed somehow managed to save them all. A good job really as we all wanted to eat our own ones.

We all took part in our Ash Wednesday assembly and used this time to reflect on this very important time.

We also had our first Rugby taster session, which was really good fun and it stayed dry for us so we were outside. Getting muddy whilst enjoying Rugby was great fun.

Thursday we spent the afternoon classifying animals using carefully chosen questions. It was like a game of ‘Guess Who’ It was good fun with lots of learning through this type of activity.

Primary 6

Primary 6 finished the week with a fun and hands on investigation to determine what sauce is best at not falling off a chip.

Mr Reed was unhappy yesterday when every time he went to eat a chip all the sauce that was on his chip slid off and landed on the plate. We carried out our own investigation to determine which sauce had the most viscosity and which had the least.

With the results in Mr Reed can always ensure that he has sauce with his chips.

Next week we not only have FUTSAL on Monday afternoon  but for the next few weeks on a Wednesday afternoon we also have  rugby taster sessions. We must remember to bring in outdoor clothing from next week.
