P7 and Miss Lenathen, a PGDE student from Edinburgh University, have been getting to know each other this week. Miss Lenathen is working closely with myself to plan and teach a variety of lessons over the next 5 weeks.

Sport has featured widely this week. The class have been doing athletics with Mr Stewart in PE, with pupils aiming to qualify for a competition. Gavin, the development coach from Livingston RFC, held another successful training session on the field. Several of the ICHS cluster schools attended a rugby festival on Friday morning where the pupils got to show off their skills and had lots of fun doing so. Photos to follow, hopefully tomorrow.

What can I say about the basketball teams except “You are all amazing!” Very well done on your achievements. Thank you to Mrs Taylor and Abby.

Aside from the sporting events, P7 have begun learning about Pilgrimages in RME, renewable and non-renewable energy sources in Science and coordinates across 4 quadrants in maths. In Literacy we have been looking at non-fiction books.

Don’t forget our assembly is on 11th May at 9:15am.

P7 will visit The Risk Factory on Thursday 10th May.
