The children have had an action packed week with outdoor learning, badminton, Remembrance writing, learning how to present information on graphs, Judo instruction, a walk to visit our local church, drumming workshop, choir practice, finishing with a wonderful assembly led by Mr Balaj from Livingston Village Kirk.
Primary 5 spent some time on Tuesday making Leaf Identification dials then we ventured outside to try them out, gathering lots of data about the leafs we found. The children loved the time outside investigating and comparing leaf patterns, sizes and shapes. We then sorted our data and used it to create bar charts to demonstrate the different types of leafs found.
This week we have also visited Livingston Village Kirk to see the beautiful Poppy Memorial created by the members of our community. It really is a fitting way to remember those who gave their lives, so we could live ours. Our visit inspired some writing to say ‘thankyou’ to the many people ( and animals) who were so brave.
Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Scott from Jidel Judo for some Judo instruction. Scott is a Team GB competitor, so it was amazing for the children to learn from someone who had competed at such a high level! The children listened and followed instructions, and Scott was very complimentary of their enthusiasm to learn.
Finally today we ended our week with a lovely Assembly led by Mr Balaj. He talked about why it is important to remember important events in our lives, but that it is also important to remember and be thankful for the life that we live now, thanks to the sacrifices of others.
Next Friday is our Class Assembly, the children are hoping you will be SPELLBOUND by it…
