Christmas Concert: Are we nearly there yet?
Handwashing Video
We are learning to explain ways of preventing the spreading of diseases.
- I can explain different ways of preventing the spread of germs.
- I can describe the steps of how to wash your hands correctly.
This term in Science and Health and Wellbeing we have been learning about diseases, their symptoms, ways of preventing them and why we get vaccines. We also investigated the correct steps in washing your hands and the importance of washing your hands. Please watch our video below.
Torch Light Procession
On Saturday night, some of the pupils from Primary 1-3 braved the weather to come and sing some of their nativity songs at the Kirk of Calder Parish Church. They sounded fantastic and there was a real sense of community spirit shown by the number of people who came along to attend the service and to support them.
Jack and the Beanstalk
This morning P1-7 enjoyed a performance of Jack and the Beanstalk from Hopscotch Theatre.
Primary Two preparing for our Nativity ‘Are We Nearly There Yet?’
This week Primary Two have been very busy preparing for our Nativity ‘Are we Nearly There Yet?’ which will be shown this week coming on Thursday 10th and Friday 11th December. We would like to thank all of our parents and carers who have provided us with super shepherd and angels costumes. We are all looking wonderful and we are really looking forward to our performance!
Looking forward to seeing you all soon,
Primary Two.
Christmas Lunch
This week MCPS had their Christmas Lunch. We were  lucky enough to have a team of Primary 7s serve us our lunch, and our teachers joined us wearing their Christmas jumper. Some children commented that is was ‘The best lunch ever!’. A big thank you to Mrs Ritchie in the office and all the dinner ladies for organising our Christmas lunch.
P3 and P3/2 visit Linlithgow Palace and surrounding area.
What a great day and fun was had by all…
As part of our IDL topic we have been exploring aspects of these Experiences & Outcomes:
By exploring places, investigating artefacts and locating them in time, I have developed an awareness of the ways we remember and preserve Scotland’s history.
SOC 1-02a
I can use evidence to recreate the story of a place or individual of local historical interest.
SOC 1-03a
I can compare aspects of people’s daily lives in the past with my own by using historical evidence or the experience of recreating an historical setting.
SOC 1-04a
By exploring my community and the groups within it, I can identify and consider different types of housing and how they meet needs.
Key Questions to be explored
- What do we think we know and what do we want to find out?
- Who might have lived here and why?
- How were these buildings built and who for?
We were also able to use the experience to make links with our functional writing. We are learning to select relevant ideas, order our writing, use connectives and adjectives to make our writing interesting.
My Personal Response
Yesterday we went to visit Linlithgow Palace because we have been learning about People and Places in the past.
We organised ourselves ready to leave at 10 o’clock.
We wore our welly boots and waterproof coats so we were prepared for the cold, windy weather.
When we arrived at the palace we met our tour guides then we went off in our groups to the first room and learned lots of interesting facts.
My favourite room was the Vomitorium as it was very interesting to hear about, it also made me laugh.
We ate our lunch altogether in the Palace Hall and then went to meet the Rangers.
When we were outside we had to imagine we were peasants, think about what their life was like. I got to carry the bundle of sticks as well as throw a mud mixture as if I was building my own hut!
We had a great day at Linlithgow Palace even though the weather was rather wet and cold.
Please enjoy a few visuals from our experience.
Primary Two visit Linlithgow Palace
On Monday 16th November Primary Two visited Linlithgow Palace. We had a wonderful time and learned lots about how people lived in the past. Our day began with a tour of the palace from the P7’s from Linlithgow Primary. We really enjoyed playing the games and learnt about Mary Queen of Scots who was born there. After our lunch we did some exciting outdoor activities with the park rangers. We learnt about how people might have got food and water to the palace and how walls were made from sticks and mud. Mr Nelson and Primary Two would like to thank all the helpers who came along and made this trip such a success.
