Primary 3/2

P2 Weekly Evaluation

What a busy few weeks Primary 2 have had since returning after the Easter holidays!

In maths we have been exploring multiplication using lots of practical materials.  We also had our PATPAL afternoon where the children became the teachers for the day!  They did an amazing job explaining what we do in numeracy.  Thank you to all the parents who came along and supported us.

In PE we have been developing our skills in tennis and we also enjoyed a session of outdoor games in the playground.  Last week we took part in the school’s SportaFUNd event and had a great time participating in all the fun activities.

In literacy we have been learning about the difference between statements and questions and have begun to learn about exclamation marks.  We also started to look at typography and why authors use different types of print in their texts.

In health and wellbeing we have begun to consider the question ‘What does being healthy mean?’.  We had some great discussion about why exercise is importance and the types of exercise we do to keep fit and healthy.

Moving On

Dear parent/carer

 

From June 4th, I will no longer be the PE teacher at Livingston Village Primary school. I have accepted the post as Principal Teacher of the Scottish Attainment Challenge schools in West Lothian. This promoted post was too good an opportunity to turn down and I am very excited for this new challenge. I will be working between St Thomas’ Primary School in Addiewell and Bridgend in Linlithgow.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support over the years. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I will miss the children, staff and yourselves incredibly.  I have so many happy memories and I have no doubt that PE and school sport will continue to flourish in my absence.  I will be back at the end of term to celebrate all our fantastic sporting achievements this year at the Sports Committee Assembly.

 

My last day at LVPS will be on Tuesday the 29th May. I will also be ensuring that our application for an unprecedented 3rd sportscotland school sport gold award will be completed and if successful I hope to come back in November 2018 for the presentation.

 

I am also delighted to announce how much we raised at SportaFUNd. Abbie, our former pupil, raised £360.00 with the bake sale, the ELC raised £395.00 and the school raised a whopping £1724.20.  This demonstrates all the hard work, dedication and commitment from everybody connected to this fabulous school.

 

Thank you once again.

 

Kind regards

 

Mr Stewart.

#SaveTheOwl

Upon hearing the news of the councils decision to remove our garden owl, the children have been busy planning campaigns and thinking of ways to raise funds!

Today has been a day of design and technology with everyone being involved in designing posters, using Lego to create the ‘perfect’ memorial garden using the Owl as a centre piece, and making Owl themed bookmarks to sell.

Hopefully a Superhero will come to our rescue…
