Term 4 Celebration Assembly

Today we had our second Celebration Assembly to celebrate all our achievements during Term 4.

Ruby and Meg, pupils from Broxburn Academy joined us to share with us about their achievements and their journey to achievement. They reinforced our school values and how it was important to preserve to achieve your dreams, although at times you might have set backs.

We had our Dojo Top Scorers for each of our houses – they received a gift voucher for WH Smith.

Each teacher nominated a child in their class for the Remarkable Reader Award for making progress in their reading.

They also  nominated a child in their class for the STEM Superstar Award for making progress in Science, Technologies, Engineering and Maths.

We gave out Sumdog Awards for the recent West Lothian Sumdog Competition.

Out of 105 classes:

  •  17th – P7
  • 26th – P6
  •  28th – P1M

Put of 2,275 pupils:

  • 6th Hallie (P7)
  • 23rd Lucas (P6)

One child in each of our groups at P5 Camp was nominated for an achievement award.

Iona in P7 was nominated for an award for recently taking part in the Edinburgh Moonwalk and raising over £1000 for charity.

Congratulations to Breich who recieved the most Dojos in Term 4.

Reminder about the Uphall Station Gala Day.

We would like our nursery and school to be represented at the Gala Day with children and parent/ carers from our school community.  The parade will leave Beechwood Grove at 12:30, with our school group meeting at 12:00pm. Parents and carers should walk with their children during the parade.

The theme is ‘Carnival’ and we encourage everyone taking part in the walk to dress up as much as they would like to.

The races will run from 1pm-4pm in the park, and there is range of opportunities for all our children to take part.

If you would like to join us please remember to return your slip to the school office.

Primary 4 Class Trip

We are learning to describe how weather affects humans.

I can experiment in making miniature weather.

I can explain what make the weather.

Primary 4 had an amazing time last week at Dynamic Earth for our class trip. We had a tour which began back in time and then went through lots of different climates, linking to our topic this term.

 

After lunch we got to participate in a Wonderful Weather workshop and create miniature hurricanes and lightening!

We then got to view a 360 degree film about space and how the Earth was formed. This film also showed us lots of the different jobs that people can have to do with space and science. Our children were able to link this back to our Developing the Young Workforce Week at school which was brilliant!

Our day was so much fun and we learned a lot from it but it definitely tired us out on the bus on the way home!

Day 2 at Camp!

Day two has been so busy! The 3G swing, high ropes, and leap of faith have been challenging but it is lovely to see the children developing confidence in trying these new things. Mrs Mooney asked one of our pupils what they thought they’d been learning about at camp. His reply? “Teamwork, communication and friendship” It’s great to see them making friends with people they’ll see again at high school. Lunch today was a choice of chicken nuggets, baguette or baked potato. I’m sure you can guess what the most popular choice was!
