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!

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.

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.

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.

Congratulations to our Head Teacher Award winners this month. We loved hearing about your hard word, kindness and perseverance.

It was also lovely to hear about the literacy achievements of our Golden Coin winners.

Finally we loved celebrating the wider achievements of our learners, from kickboxing and martial arts to reading achievements, we are so proud of you!
