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…

P1K Learning Reflection for Week ending 20.4.18

PATPAL

Holly – we taught Mrs M to count on a Rekenrek

Arya – we played cover up you can count in your head or see the counters to help

Nathan – takeaway using dice, you take the small number from the big number

Rayyaan – We showed different ways to make a number you can do 6 and 4 or 7 and 3 to make 10

Maddie – domino number patterns to see how many ways we can make a number

       

Measure

P1K found different sized foot prints in the class. After lots of speculation about who or what left the footprints the children explored different ways they could measure them.  They decided to use: beach glass, dominoes, lego and counting teds. The children started to notice that they were getting different results because they were using different materials to measure with, see the table below:

   

   

After lots of discussion and exploration the children found they best way to measure was:

  • Dominoes were the best non-standard unit because they were all the same length
  • To measure the length you don’t go around but from end to end
  • Be careful there are no gaps when placing the dominoes.
  • Measure the longest part

The children then practised their measuring skills further by measuring the length of all sorts of things around the classroom using cubes.
