Sebastian loves learning how things work and making things.
Once again you have all been amazingly busy this week. Some of the activities this week have been 3k runs, baking cookies, making bird feeders, litter picks, messy science experiments, dog walking, measuring out 2m distances on the street so you can chat to friends, football challenges and learning to make a cup of tea. That’s not to mention finding out about Africa, hammerhead sharks, woodpeckers, or the life of lions. Well done all of you. Here are a few of your comments and some photos.
O – This week I enjoyed the May Calendar and problem solving and maths and fractions.
L – I enjoyed learning how to make a cup of tea and writing the instructions.
L – I enjoyed doing the NYCOS daily lesson because it was a bit tricky and a bit easy. My favourite was Nima Naja.
S – I enjoyed the column addition and subtraction because I liked working them out. 😊
Hello, here is the P4 science for this week.
Here is the learning grid for Learning from Home Week 8. Don’t forget you can also access everything on Teams as well.
If you haven’t done the learning from home questionnaire from the council, please could you do that first. The link for pupils is on the blog, I think dated Thursday 21 May, and it is also on Teams.

The variety of things you are all doing to keep learning and practise existing skills is quite amazing. With an amazing day of weather on Wednesday I am not surprised to hear that paddling pools, water guns and garden hoses were popular. It makes me so happy to know that there are good things about lockdown and that it’s not all sad and boring.
Here are some of your reflections from this week and some photos too.
Olly – This week I enjoyed the West Lothian maths challenge and the problem solving.
Sophie – I enjoyed the clue dough puzzles and the times tables maths because I liked working them out.
Lakshya – I liked the flashback cards because of the variety of questions.
Luke – I enjoyed the flashback cards because they’re really fun.
Finn – I baked a carrot cake with my mum. My mum and dad love it.
Blake – I liked making the African djembe drum. Making the paper mache was really messy but really fun. The orange one is the drum and the yellow one is a rice shaker.
Ethan – I enjoyed reading my new books (Tom Gates stories) and the Sumdog contest.
Kaitlyn – I enjoyed hearing a book on epic called Goosebumps it was three hours long it was funny yet scary.
West Lothian Council would like to know pupils’ views about home learning to help them put together a plan for recovery from Lockdown. Please could every pupil from P4 complete the questionnaire before 26th May 2020.
The link is also on the class Teams.
Well here we are starting our 7th week of learning from home. The grid and all the documents you will need are below. It is OK to draw out your own version of the Keyworker Poem Template.

I have attached some resources on Growth Mindset and Resilience that we have used in class. I know that learning can be tricky at the best of times but in the current situation it can seem impossible for many of us. This might be a good time to remind pupils that there are things they can do or say that might help.

It is lovely to get the chance to chat to so many of you on a Friday morning. It really does set me up for the weekend with a smile. I love to hear about all your activities and I’m so pleased that you are all managing to find some fun moments during this strange time.
Here are some of your comments about school learning you did this week:
Sophie – My favourite thing to learn this week was writing a conversation using inverted commas because it was fun making up people and something to talk about 😁
Rhys – I liked Maths this week because it was fun, some questions I found easy but some other ones like the problem solving questions I found more difficult 😜
Luke – I’ve been enjoying Sumdog. I found the fractions a little tricky.
Blake – I am enjoying the Africa topic. I enjoyed making a Lego safari jeep. I’m getting better at fractions but need some more practice. I’ve had fun baking gluten free biscuits.
Finn – This is what i enjoyed this week I liked the maths this week because it was much harder than last week.
Luke – I enjoyed maths because it was a challenge and I like a challenge.
