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 Primary Engineers – 17th March
As part of British Science Week we have been revisiting our learning about engineers. We love to build things but this week we have also been learning about designing things too.
Along with lots of other classes in school we are taking part in the Primary Engineers competition which is quite tricky for P1! We have been reading lots of robot stories to help us get some ideas for designing and making our own robots and also thinking about jobs that robots could do to help people.
We worked with a partner to make our robots and could choose whether to use construction materials or junk. Everyone’s model had to include a “button” to turn it on and off!
We drew pictures of our robots and labelled them for the competition. We also had to write a sentence explaining what our robot could do. Here are just a few of them.
Sophia’s mum came into class to tell us all about her job as a civil engineer. We enjoyed looking at the fantastic photos of the Queensferry Crossing as it was being built and also seeing some real engineers’ plans. We asked lots of questions.
Thank you very much to Sophia’s mum for leaving her special Health and Safety clothing for us to try on too!
P1a and P6a Outdoor Easter Fun!

50th Afternoon Tea
Tigers make it to George Allan Final
The annual George Allan Football tournament took place on Sunday the 21st of May. Our Linlithgow Tigers managed to win all but one game giving them a chance at the title in the final against Linlithgow Bridge Primary. Linlithgow Bridge stole a goal and despite all efforts the Tigers could just not equalise. It was a valiant effort by all. Well done Tigers. If you want to watch the highlights of the game please follow link below.
In the other League our Leopards dominated many games but were unable to secure a victory over Springfield, narrowly missing out a spot in the final.
Well done to both teams. They are now preparing for the next local competition which will be the Round Table Football Festival on the 4th of June which will take place at the Leisure Centre on the new 3G astro turf pitch.
Spring Fair
We raised a fantastic £2778 at our Spring Fair today. Well done and a huge thank you to all who helped today especially to Allison and the other FAS Team members for all of your hard work to make it such a success.
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.
‘Curse of the Stewarts’ – Film Premiere
Last night saw the Premiere of the ‘Curse of the Stewarts’ – 6 short films created by pupils from S2 at Linlithgow Academy and performed by all our P6 pupils here at Linlithgow Primary.
S2 Created the scripts and our P6 pupils acted them out. They were filmed at various locations down at the Palace by a professional film company. These short funny films will be used to help visitors to the Historic Scotland Website engage with some colourful characters of our past; James I, James II, James III, James IV, James V and Mary Queen of Scots.
