Harvest Haul
Today, some pupils from P7A spent some time in the school garden harvesting the vegetables that we have been growing over the summer.
We dug up carrots, radishes, shallots, turnips and A LOT of onions! We were delighted and surprised to find lots of wonky looking veggies, particularly our carrots!
We have been busy weighing, washing and trimming the veggies ready to be shared with the school.
If you would like to take some of our school veggies home to try, please ask Ms Orskov for some this week. You’ll need to be quick, as stocks are limited, so it will be on a first come, first served basis.
All we ask is that you take a picture of yourself creating something yummy with your veggies and send it in to us. You can email it to the school office for the attention of Ms Orskov at wllinlithgow-ps@westlothian.org.uk
Good luck with your recipes! We look forward to seeing pictures of your creations.
Mrs Paton, Ms Orskov and P7A

Gala Day 2017 – Celebrating the 60’s for our 50th!
Well done to all who walked with the School on Saturday. Some grooovy outfits! It was a great day, very hot but great turn out.
Sainsbury’s vouchers
Thanks to everyone who brought in their Active Kids vouchers to help the school buy more equipment for sports, games and activities outdoors. P7 are in the middle of counting them now…
Primary Engineer Young Leader!
Last month P7 and P2 and P2/1 were learning all about engineers and engineering skills. We found out about what engineers do and the process they use to solve problems and design solutions. As part of this, the pupils identified a problem in today’s world that they wanted to solve and designed a machine to solve it. These designs were entered into the Primary Engineers Young Leader Award.
After sorting through over 20,000 entries, the experts at Primary Engineers selected Aimee from P7A as a prize winner for her design for a rubbish bin! She is now on the shortlist for the overall winner from each age group.
The shortlisted entries go on show at Barony Hall, Glasgow on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th June 2017. Good Luck Aimee!

Cluster K’Nex Challenge
A fantastic morning with Primary 6 pupils from all cluster schools coming together to take part in a Cluster K’Nex Challenge. The teams had to construct a wheelbarrow to carry a house brick through a challenging obstacle course. The wheelbarrows were all tested in the gym hall and the ‘ladder of doom’ ended the fate of many of them. All of the teams did a brilliant job and a huge well done to Winchburgh Primary who constructed the wheelbarrow which was the most successful.
Our team of master constructors and their model, well done boys.
P7A Celebrating Creativity
P7A were inspired by the ship’s crest we were given in our mystery box and created a huge variety of art, drama, songs, and technological design. Here are some of the final presentations…
P7A Creativity Challenge
P7A have been looking after a mysterious box for the last few days. Today was the day to open it…
Inside was a crest wrapped in a blanket – we brainstormed some ideas of what the crest might mean, where it was from, what is was and what the symbols meant. After a bit of research we came up with some ideas…
Then we worked to think of creative things we could do – we had loads of different ideas.
Right now, we’re working on some of the suggestions we cameup with. We’ll post up some of the final creative activities!
Achievement Assembly
We also had some visitors at our achievement assembly this week. Representatives from Cancer support and Guide Dogs came to collect their cheques from our Christmas Singalongs. What a great day of celebrating the achievements of the school.
Red Nose Day Assembly
Thank you to everyone who bought red noses and dressed up for Red Nose Day. P2/1 did a fantastic job of telling us all about Red Nose Day at assembly and told some wonderful jokes that made us all laugh! P2/1 shared that they raised an enormous £500 for red Nose Day, well done Linlithgow Primary.
Walk a Mile
This week some staff and pupils from school walked a mile for PJ. West Lothian College organised this event to support the family and raise awareness. We wish that we could have all gone along to show our support and how proud we are of PJ.
Primary Engineers!
P7 are in the middle of working towards the Primary Engineer’s Young Leader award. The classes have been researching engineering and finding out about all the different areas of engineering that are around.
They’ve also been finding out about inspiring engineers (especially famous Scottish engineers like Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Telford, John Logie Baird and James Watt) and this week they have been lucky enough to have a visit from two engineers, Angus and Will, from the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh to talk about their work.
The classes had a chance to take part in activities that gave them experience of some of the skills the engineers use in their work, including robotics, optics, programming and working with lasers.
Mother’s Day Craft
P7A were honing their listening skills by following instructions to create a Mother’s Day card. Careful cutting, sticking and decorating have produced delightful heart-bouquets to take home.
