Good morning.
How are you feeling today?
What are you doing this weekend?
I am a bit sad that school is closed. Bruce has a party on Saturday at Lasertag. Have you been there before?
I put the following booklet into your bag yesterday just in case. There are a few nice pages about your family and favourite foods. There is a colouring page too.

Alternatively you could help with some jobs around the house. Bruce will be helping to put away his clothes and will help to make breakfast and lunch. He will also help to empty the dishwasher and hang up the washing. Let me know what you have done to help.
You could send me pictures at kirsty.reid@westlothian.org.uk
Once you have finished helping you deserve a chill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnBAU8Co6PA&t=4938s
See you on Monday, Kirsty

Good Morning Group 1,
Today is different because school is closed! Time off school is a change to your usual schedule but it is OK. Your teachers and family want you to be safe. Listen for the strong wind and try to stay inside. You can do your favourite things and some school work at home.
You could watch your favourite movement songs on you tube and listen to news-round. What is your favourite news story today?
Have a look at some of these pictures from our class this week. In maths some young learners were completing fantastic shape work. Take part in a shape hunt around your home! If you have spaghetti you could try making some shapes, is it easier to make shapes with cooked or uncooked spaghetti. We had fun exploring shapes finding out if they roll or do they stack. For the young learners who were exploring fractions you could see if you can find something you could split into two equal parts. Is it possible to make a flour or sand tray at home and try and split it into equal parts.
You could make your own Scotland flag or picture for the celebrations in school next week, find out if you have a family tartan, and look at some famous places in Scotland. It is Burns night on Saturday, here is a short clip you can watch:
We look forward to seeing you in school next week!
Pink Class – 24/01/25
Good morning Pink Class.
What a strange Friday!
Here are a few ideas of tasks and activities you could work on this morning.
Assembly – Have a look at today’s assembly – how have you felt nurtured at school this week?
Sing the good morning song with your family:
Can you tell your family what day, date, month, year and season it is? You could write this down, can you spell all of the words correctly?
Listen to the feelings song with your family:
Can you share how you are feeling and why with your family? Ask a family member how they are feeling.
Reflection Time – Think of all you have learned this week. Can you write a list or draw pictures of what you have enjoyed in school this week? Perhaps it’s been learning about Chinese New Year, making a pizza in a mug, using chopsticks, time with friends? Tell a family member about your week.
Read this power point about what makes a good friend – are you a good friend?
Let’s learn a little about the wind.
Look out of the window. What do you see?
Draw a windy picture or write some words or sentences about the wind.
Now relax, try some yoga!
Have a lovely weekend!
See you all on Monday.

Hard at Work in Purple Class
Wow, what a year 2024 has been in Purple Class. We have had lots of great activities and many new challenges. Please click on the image below to view a selection of great photos for each of our pupils. They have a page each.
Paralympics Group 1
Group 1 have been learning about the Paralympics and some famous Paralympians. They learned about the countries around the world that practice Paralympics, looked at the different different flags and designed our own flags using our favourite colours. The young people could mark on the calendar the start and finish dates for the Paris Paralympics. We looked at some of the differences between other countries and Scotland. We watched some para athletics and listened to some inspiring stories from Hollie Arnold MBE and Thomas Young MBE. The young people chose their favourite sports that we could watch and try including javelin, long jump and discus. They also enjoyed colouring in the logo of the Paralympic games, making torches and learning about the different medals. Some pupils made graphs comparing the number of gold, silver and bronze medals won by the different countries. We also found out that Great Britain have won medals across all groups showing in the words of Usain Bolt “Anything is possible. Don’t think limit.”
Autumn Term Music with Gordon
The children have had a busy term exploring seasonal music together.

Pinewood at War Memorial – Blackburn (Remembrance Day)
Today, a group of our dedicated senior pupils, alongside our headteacher, paid their respects at the Blackburn War Memorial. To commemorate Remembrance Day, they created a wonderful wreath from recycled plastic bottles. This eco-friendly tribute not only honours the fallen but also demonstrates our commitment to sustainability. We are incredibly proud of our pupils for their creativity, compassion, and environmental consciousnes.
Eco- Committee first meeting
It was a positive start to the session with our inaugural Eco-Committee meeting where we welcomed the new Eco-Rangers.
To start the meeting, we revisited our outstanding achievement from last year:
- the successful achievement of our fourth Eco-School Green Flag. A huge thank you to Tracey for providing the flagpole.
Forth Eco-School Green Flag Award
- We were also delighted to hear from Sarah (science teacher who left last year) about her incredible work in helping the planet. She has been planting thousands of trees in her new eco-friendly home and living a more sustainable life style.
Here is the minutes of our first Eco-Committee meeting.
