Good morning Primary one. It is Friday again and the sun is trying hard to come out to see us.

Over the past 6 weeks of home learning, you have all impressed us so much with the activities you have been doing at home. It has been lovely receiving emails and comments with photos of your work or telling us what you have been doing. Also the little messages saying hello! We miss you all very much so hearing from you during the week really brightens up our days.

I have been busy at home with my boys. They have been doing lots of different activities suggested by their teachers but we have also been doing a lot of different things. This week we have played badminton, painted rocks, baked cakes and made a tent in the garden. Our favourite thing we did was make s’mores. They were delicious.

I am excited it is the weekend, so I thought a little dance was in order.

Keep up the wonderful work, play lots and enjoy this time making memories with your family.

Hopefully the sunshine comes out properly and we can enjoy some nice weather this weekend.

Stay safe. Speak to you on Monday.

Good morning everyone.

Well today marks the end of 6 weeks learning at home. I just want to say to all the boys and girls, and their families, that you are all doing a fantastic job! These are very different times to what we have ever experienced before. Working and learning at home, not really leaving the house and not seeing extended family and friends.

The best part of the day for me is reading the messages from you- whether it’s a quick hello to let me know that you are safe or photographs and videos of you at home. Please keep doing what you can. However big or small you are always learning new skills that will benefit you in the future. My 2 children have been busy learning life skills such as hoovering and changing their bed, something we just never had time to do before but excellent skills to have. Please keep in touch as I miss seeing you all each day, hearing all your stories and getting a cuddle.

Now the weekend has come around again and we can all relax and hopefully enjoy the sunshine. I thought I would share another picture of my kitten Ace who likes to watch me work. He has become best friends with my big cat called Flynn. I am not sure Flynn enjoys it so much!

I will speak to you all again on Monday when we will issue a new plan and some fun and exciting activities to do if you can manage them.

Take care boys and girls 

Mrs Menmuir

Good morning P1!

Here is a fun video to start the day off right – you can practise skip counting by 2, 5 and 10 and have a think about odd and even numbers, all while working out and following the instructions.

As we come to the end of another week of home learning, I just want to say a huge well done to all our incredible children for all your hard work these last few weeks and a big thank you to all parents/carers – you are all doing an amazing job!

One of the things that really brightens my day and makes me smile is hearing about all the great outdoorsy, creative, fun things you are doing at home and all the fab family time people are enjoying. I have heard about people camping in the garden, planting flowers and vegetables, taking on art and craft projects, cooking up a storm and inventing games/treasure hunts/quizzes for their families.

What are your plans for this weekend? If the sun stays out, we are going to take Bennie on some nice walks along an old railway track near our flat. We also have to try and give him a bath, which will be very tricky because he HATES water. Usually I end up getting more soaked than he does! Here he is this morning playing with his toys.

Have a fantastic weekend when it comes,

I miss you all very much P1B, I’m so proud of you for working and playing at home and keeping everybody safe,

Mrs Jamieson

Good Morning,

I hope everyone is well . Today is VE day I wonder if you can find out what is special about today?

Today we are going to listen to Miss McDermott’s story and talk about the words in the story today. Myself and Mrs Mills are looking forward to seeing pictures of your favourite story. Mabye you can let us know why it is your favourite.

Have you been busy with your stones?  I have been looking when I am out for a walk to see if I can see any around Linlithgow.

Earlier I asked about VE Day . This is for all the dancers out there !  I have included this link.

As part of our commemorations for the VE Day 75 Anniversary, West Lothian Council Museums are inviting the people of West Lothian to join together in a V.E. Day dance at 8pm tomorrow night. Central Scotland Ballet School have kindly created an instructional video for us which you can see on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/West-Lothian-Council-Museums-and-Local-History-123490381172089 but can also be downloaded using the link below.  They will be posting a performance video tomorrow morning and again tomorrow night at 8pm (They have included the performance video in the link). Get your family to have a go if you have time!

Have a lovely weekend

Good morning everyone, I hope you have all had a good week. I cant believe it is Friday already!

Someone in P3B asked if I could share a riddle every day because they are so much fun. So here are some more, this time they are describing different foods. See if you can work them out and send me your answers.

Today is VE Day, 75 years since the war ended. Why not celebrate by having a sing along with some ww2 songs, check out the videos below.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

Miss Ross

Good morning, everyone!

I hope you have had a lovely week.  Did any of you decorate a stone?  I took my stones with me when I went a walk yesterday.  I carefully put them along the path where other families will be able to see them.  I hope it brings a smile to their faces!

Today is a day for celebration.  It is the 75th anniversary of the day the Second World War ended in our country.  Many people were presented with different types of medals after the war.

Create your very own medal!

You could design a medal for yourself or for someone in your family.  What could the medal be for?   Think about what you would have on the medal and what colour would it be?  What would the ribbon look like?  You could send me a photo of your medal telling me who it is for and why.

Have a wonderful weekend.  Stay well and safe.
