P1M Snowy Days

Hello boys and girls. I hope you are safe and warm. I hope you are making the most of this snowy weather and have had an opportunity to go outside and build a snowman or make snow angels. We would love to see some pictures of your snowy adventures and these can be uploaded to twitter on the LVPS PE account under the hashtag lvpssnowtasticday. Also you will find some snow day activities on our school website and you can always play Sumdog and practice your maths.

Stay safe

Make the Most of Your Snow Day

I hope you are not all too cold and are managing to have some fun in the snow.

When you are back inside, don’t rush to your X-box or whatever gadget too quickly – think about your poor show script sitting all curled up and forgotten at the bottom of your schoolbag.

Why not get it out and have a go at learning some more of your lines?

Show day is coming up fast and we need to be off script by this time next week.

Sportshall Athletics East Regional Championships

On Wednesday, 20 members from our P7 class took part in the Sportshall Athletics East Regional Championships at the Jack Kane Centre in Edinburgh. This is where the top two schools from City of Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian and the Borders take part in activities which include: 4 x 100m, over/under relay, obstacle relay, 6 lap parlauff, 2 lap relay, 1 lap relay, javelin, speed bounce, long jump, vertical jump, triple jump and chest push.

Our team placed 8th overall. Kirknewton Primary finished 10th which means although we were not crowned Champions on the day, we are the top performing school out of 67 in West Lothian. Another fantastic achievement. On the day our children demonstrated resilience, perseverance, motivation and superb sportsmanship. We cheered on the winners and all the other competitors and enjoyed a really great event.

We took part in the second round of the Livingston Netball League yesterday at Parkhead Primary school. We had 15 members of the team so we decided to have two teams. The results above show the strength in depth we have at the school. This is testament to the hard work and dedication our players put in. Not only are they all great players but they are fantastic role models too who display sportsmanship at all times. Well done team. We are all very proud of you at LVPS.

Exciting Week for P7

What a week this has been for P7. The current West Lothian Sportshall champions went to the Jack Kane Sports Centre on Wednesday to participate in the East of Scotland Finals. The competition was fast and furious and we came eighth on the day. We are very proud of the effort and sportsmanship our team put in. Well done everyone and thank you to Mr Stewart and Active Schools Coordinator Stewart Livingston for organising this great opportunity for our school, and to Abby Cowan for her help and support.

Today, 15 of our pupils took part in a netball tournament at Parkhead Primary School. Both teams had a great time and won lots of matches. We are excitedly waiting on the overall results.

In science this week, pupils were investigating reflections using mirrors. This was a great, fun activity where pupils had to try out getting different results by bending the mirrors or moving them around. They also tried looking at the alphabet, trying to find letters and then a word that could be shown complete by reflecting half of it. Photos below…

National Puzzle Day 2018

Primary 3 celebrated National Puzzle Day on 29th January by completing LOADS of jigsaws!

Jigsaws aren’t just for fun.  They help to teach us vital skills such as concentration, attention, patience, planning, analysis and they help our memory.  Because we worked in teams we were also developing our communication and teamwork skills.

Did you know that completing a jigsaw actually uses both sides of your brain?  You use the creative side to imagine the finished image and the logical side to fit the pieces together!
