This term, P6/7 individually identified the targets that they, themselves, felt they needed to work on and develop. We have decided to keep all our targets in this folder which we can check on whenever we want. As soon as we feel we have achieved our target, we transfer it to our #followme profiles.
When we were setting our targets, we tried really hard to make sure we had a growth mindset. Our grow mindset wall display helps us to stay on track and keep on growing!

Primary 6/7 have been learning about the tragedy of The Burngrange Mining Disaster. It showed us how valuable life is. As a class, we have been reading and enjoying Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, ready for our new topic of Potter Mania!
Phew! What a lot of learning! What will next week bring?
P6/7 can’t wait to start work on our new topic of Potter Mania! Maybe by Easter, we will be able to make people disappear!! We are looking forward to working together with P5/6 to create a great experience!
Tomorrow (Sat 15th Jan) marks the 70th anniversary of the Burngrange Mining Disaster in West Calder, the worst accident in West Lothian’s mining history and we have been learning all about that this week. We learned that 15 men died in the explosion and that around half these men were from Seafield. We looked at where the pit was located and the Burngrange Memorial that stands in the square in West Calder. We then created newspaper front overs to report the terrible news. It’s been really interesting finding out about this tragic event. May the men who died rest in peace.
The whole school were lucky enough to enjoy a Google Expeditions Workshop on Monday this week. If you like you can allow your child to install the Free Google Expditions App on their own device for use at home and school! Just search in the APP store….
I have received the attached materials from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. These relate to their Winter Thematic Action Plan for 2016 and they have asked me to circulate them widely.
I hope this is of some interest to you and help to you.
