Last week was West Lothian money week therefore we started out money topic!

Here are some of the facts we have been learning:

‘I have been learning how much money I have by counting up the coins.’ Kyle

‘I have been learning the coins up 10p’ Michael

‘I have been learning how to give change up to £1’ Eilidh

‘I brought in money from Croatia to show the class’ Jamie

‘I brought in Victorian money to see how their money was different to ours’ Murron

‘ When we went on our school trip we saw Victorian money in the grocers shop’ Dylan

‘We have been using interactive maths games to help us practise using coins’ Abigail

 

 

This week, Primary 4 started their fantastic Technologies challenge – to build a Roman amphitheatre!

We had looked at the design of amphitheatres (the most famous probably being the Colosseum) and noticed that they had no roof or doors, were made of stone and used lots of arches for their construction.

We are very lucky to be working with Sarah-Jane and Tom! We have enjoyed learning so far about how different materials can be used and how to work with different tools. We are currently building our structure from stones, sandbags and turf.

Have a look at our first set of photos:

Keep checking in with us to see how we are getting on!

A shout out to parents and friends of the school…

We are in need of old spades, trowels, forks, rakes… If any of our school community have any at home, we would love to be able to use them 🙂  

Many thanks,

Miss M & Primary 4

 

Would you be free on the morning of  Friday September 25th?

We’re planning to take part in West Lothian Walking Week by walking round the community in groups of 2 or 3 classes, picking up any litter as we go.  The theme for this year  is Walk Your Wigs off  so many of us will be wearing crazy wigs on the day. It’s also one of our regular monthly dress down days, with the children contributing £1 to dress down which will be donated to Jak’s Den.

We’re looking for adult helpers to help with the supervision of classes on the walkabout! Please contact the school office if you are able to help.

Thank you!

Mrs Hull.

P5 came up with some reasons why you should swap your crisps or chocolate for a piece of fruit:

– It’s healthy and delicious

– You can buy it in school

– It won’t rot your teeth like sweets can

– One of your 5 a day!

– It’s delicious and nutritious!
