Last Thursday P6A visited the new museum to perform their song ‘Medieval Times’. We worked with community songwriter Caro Bridges to write the song. We hope you enjoy listening – it has a catchy chorus!
We also had the opportunity to look round the museum and learn lots of new facts about Linlithgow in olden days.

P1c Christmas Craft Afternoon
This afternoon we were delighted to be joined in the classroom by our P6 buddies! They helped us to make some lovely Christmas decorations as you can see from the photographs.
We also learned about Christingles and that they are not actually for eating! Christingles were originally from Germany although lots of churches now have special Christingle services for children at Christmas time.
P1a and P6a Outdoor Easter Fun!
A big thank you to the buddies who joined us today for our outdoor Easter activities even though it was very cold.
We had a great time taking part in the Easter Egg Hunt Quiz, Easter Egg races and playing croquet and quoits as you will see from the photos!
Internet Safety Day and Mango Tasting in P1a!
This week we have been talking about what we think the internet is! (Please note – all of the children took part in the discussion but they did not all want to be filmed!)
We played some games with our buddies about staying safe when using the internet. The games included talking about things like not sharing passwords or logins and what to do if something pop ups on the screen and you don’t know what it is or don’t like it. We have learned that we should always tell a grown up. Here are some photos of us playing the internet safety game with our buddies.
The buddies also helped us to play another game which was all about emotions – which as you will probably know is something else we are learning about this term. Hopefully we will now be able to play this game in the classroom with each other.
We are enjoying learning all about China and rehearsals are well underway for our assembly next week. Miss McDermott read a famous Chinese story all about the Monkey King.
In the story, the monkeys eat mangoes and collect them from the trees. Lots of us hadn’t seen or tried mango so today for a little treat we had mango for snack. Some of us helped Mrs Smith to cut up the mango ( and remembered our good handwashing skills first). We did a quick hands up survey and most of us seemed to enjoy it – just like the monkeys in the story!!!

First Awesome Achievers of our New Year! Well done!
A very busy day for P1a!
This morning we were very excited to visit the P7 Christmas market which was raising money for the PJ foundation. We loved looking at all the stalls and admiring the lovely things that the P7 children had made. Lots of goodies were bought and the Grinch nerf gun challenge was very popular too! Well done P7 – you made a super effort and hopefully have raised lots of money too!
Later we had a special Christmas craft afternoon with our P6a buddies back in our own classroom. Everyone learned about the story of the Christingle and made one using an orange, red ribbon, a small candle, some cocktail sticks and dried fruit.
Below are some lovely pictures of us making lots of different Christmassy things with the buddies!
Choir visit to Linlithgow Care Home, 7th December 2017
The choir visited the Linlithgow Care Home last week and performed a range of Christmas songs. The children in the choir were given a warm welcome and sang beautifully, everyone agreed that they were a real credit to the school. The residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon!
Thank you to the parent helpers who walked with the children. The choir’s next Christmas visit is to Templars Court on Thursday 14th December.

More Hallowe’en activities in P1a!
As part of our Hallowe’en activities we read the story Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper.
Then as part of our Health and Wellbeing learning about handling and trying new foods we made and tasted our very own pumpkin soup. Everyone tried it although not everyone liked it!
Thank you to the girls who kindly washed and dried all the dishes when we had finished.
Later in the week we took part in a special outdoor team challenge with our buddies in P6a. We had to make skeletons using sticks and stones and leaves. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and we all enjoyed being outside. Miss McDermott, Mrs Smith and Mrs Marshall were very impressed with the finished skeletons – what do you think?
