P7 began their transition to S1 this week with a visit to Whitburn Academy. We had lessons from some of the teachers and were given a tour of the school. Highlights were seeing the fitness suite and the art lesson!
S1 transition begins
Levenseat Acorn Award
P7/6 have been working on their part of our entry for the Levenseat Acorn Award, the theme this year was recycling. We learned about what happens to the recycling in West Lothian and made leaflets to educate and inform others about the recycling process and what individuals can do to help recycle more. We also looked at ‘upcycling’, repurposing things which may otherwise have ended up in landfill. We have shown our creative side upcycling old books from our library.
Up cycling in P6/5/4
This week in P6/5/4 we used our knowledge of upcycling to create some nice planters for our playground. We started out by decorating our welly boots.
We then planted our flowers into our new planters 🪴
P.E. Skills
This week in p4/3 we have been focussing on a mixture of PE activities and skills. This included tennis, football, hockey and throwing skills. We got to show off some of our own talents and have practice at other skills! We all very much enjoyed the tennis and can’t wait to get a full block of tennis! We were knackered by the end of the lesson with empty water bottles but we had so much fun.
Recycling projects
Children from across the whole school have been showing their creativity to create a fabulous assortment of recycled objects for our recycling showcase. Groups of children came to the Heart Room to make candle holders, bunting, notebooks, games and jigsaws. They made some amazing new items from worn out books, bottles, boxes and fabric, helping the environment as well as building their skills.
