Tadpoles
Tadpoles!
Around three weeks after spawning the tadpoles hatch out from their eggs.
- Here is a picture of our frog spawn, we are very excited to see that they have turned into tadpoles!
- Each tadpole is about 12mm long and brown in colour.
- They will feed on the old jelly mass and any algae which is growing on it.
- We hope they will turn into frogs soon.

Books, Books, Books
This week in Primary 5 we enjoyed thinking about our favourite books, designing book bags with our favourite book covers or characters, reading stories to P3 and P5 and swapping books we read for new exciting books. We can’t wait to read them.
We also found out about Fairtrade and wrote a Fairtrade Fact File! In Art we created a Fairtrade picture using blending chalk techniques. In Maths we completed our block on integers, we are glad the temperature is starting to get above Zero now. We had sunshine every day this week!
We had a fab Welly Walk this morning around the loch. We walked fast to raise our heartbeat and we raised lots of money for school funds.
P5 Publishers
This week P5 have been working hard on improving our Digital kills. We found out how to use Word Publisher and then used the application with great success to produce amazing reports on Arctic animals! In Maths we found out how to add and subtract negative numbers. We also found out that the coldest temperature on earth is Antarctica where the temperature has been measure at -133.6 degrees Celsius! On Monday the weather was horrible so we developed our Hockey skills inside. Tuesday was Shrove Tuesday so we ate lots of pancakes. Delicious! We also led a lovely service for the school on Ash Wednesday. We completed our Arctic animal 3D posters and on Thursday we created Fair Trade Art silhouettes. A very busy week in P5!
We are sorry that we cannot upload pictures to our Blog this week.
Week beginning 13th of January 2020
Primary 1 have had a busy week. In literacy we have been wordbuilding with the ‘sh’ and ‘ch’ sounds. We listened to the story ‘The Rainbow Fish’ and wrote a sentence describing the character. In maths we are continuing to develop our understanding of addition. We have been introduced to ‘Number Talks’ where we discuss the strategies we are using to solve a problem. We have been very good at learning all the hand signals. We have started our new topic ‘Houses and Homes’ and we have been very interested in finding out about different types of houses in Linlithgow.
What a wonderful reward
Today has been amazing, we have had lots of fun dressed in our Halloween costumes. Even our work today focussed on Halloween as Mr Reed set us some really tricky maths which had a spooky theme.
We had our Halloween procession in the hall which gave us the opportunity to see all the different costumes worn by the children and even the teachers had joined in and were in their costumes. We ended our day with our reward afternoon so we were treated to lots of activities put together by the Primary 7’s and all the support staff.
We are looking forward to our Mass tomorrow and have been preparing ourselves, learning our words and creating some lovely work as our work of the hands. We hope as many parents and carers are able to join with us tomorrow at 11:45am.
Primary 6
Committee Life At St Joes
Today was our first Shiny Friday…we had fun!
Fun, Sun and Midgies
We had a fantastic day on camp… the sun shone and we had a lot of fun in all of our activities – canoeing, challenge course, zip- wiring and abseiling. We created collages using materials from nature as part of our ‘John Muir Explorer Challenge’. We had a lot of help from our friend the Midgie tonight!
