Hello everyone and welcome to our latest blog entry. Another busy week whizzes by and we are only 4 weeks away from our summer holidays! This week:

* Apples & Bananas spelling groups have been learning about the suffixes -ible and -able in their spelling

* Cherries & Dates spelling groups have been learning about compound words in their spelling

* We have all worked hard on our comprehension skills by reading an unfamiliar passage and then answering questions about it to test our knowledge and recall of information.

* On Wednesday we attended a rugby festival (together with Mrs McGlynn’s Primary 5 class) organised by the active schools in West Lothian. We had a great time and represented our school extremely well. We worked well in our teams and we can be extremely proud of our efforts. Please enjoy the photos below!

Thanks for taking the time to check out our blog and see you all again next week with more news!

Hello from P5/4

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest news from Primary 5/4. Ā Another busy week for us this week!

We have:

* Enjoyed a variety of different science experiences in our Masterclasses across the school.

* Had a wonderful full day trip to New Lanark Heritage Centre where we experienced a classroom from 1825 (including wearing traditional tunics!), the Annie Mcleod Experience where we traveled back in time and everyone really enjoyed it and finally a great tour of the whole of the visitor centre.

* We learned how the River Clyde was used to help spin cotton in the mill and how dangerous some of the jobs working in the mill were.

* We also learned about how people used to live in the tenement buildings sometimes up to 15 people living in one room!

* The most important invention from the Victorian Era, we soon discovered, was electricity and how we cannot live without it today.

* Finally this week, we have been learning how to plan & write an imaginative story – next week we will be attempting this completely on our own!

Please enjoy some of our photos from our trip and see you again next week.

British Science Week begins!!

The lucky pupils in the P4-7 Volcano Masterclass yesterday caused eruptions!! šŸ™‚

They came along to find out more about volcanoes, we learned all about what they look like, how they are made, what they are made of, where they form and how they form.

We had a lot of fun creating our own volcanoes and to complete the class worked in collaboration to create an enormous Volcano to display in the main hall.
