Primary 1 have been very busy this week making reindeer food to sell at the Christmas Fayre next Friday. Our reindeer food is sparkly and should be sprinkled on your lawn on Christmas Eve to guide Santa’s reindeer to your home.

Anti Bullying Week 2022 – we have been learning about how we can reach out to others if we are being bullied or if we see someone being bullied. We have learned that we can speak to a trusted adult, include everyone and be kind to others. For Anti-Bullying week, we also had discussions about texting and what is appropriate. We looked at scenarios if someone was receiving hurtful text messages and how we could respond to this.
Art – We have been learning how to create a silhouette by creating a background where we blend colours from dark to light with white paint. We looked at the contrast this made when painting the silhouette of a tree over the background.
Topic – for our news topic, we have been learning about Fake News. The children have identified what makes a news story fake, by thinking about the source, the date, who has written it and if the article has been shared anywhere else. We have also explored different news outlets through a scavenger hunt to find different articles and what makes it newsworthy.
Book Week 2022 – For book week, the children watched an Author’s Live with the author Anthony Horowitz, the writer of the Alex Rider books. Here is what the children had to say about it

Primary 7 weekly catch up
Well another busy week in P7. We had been frantically rehearsing for our Remembrance assembly, showcasing our learning about WW2. We really enjoyed performing and sharing our learning with the rest of the school and our relatives and carers. They were treated to some wartime baking that we had made for them. Mrs Andison was very proud of us all.
On Friday we walked along to the Pumpherston war memorial and laid a wreath in memory of all the fallen soldiers who have lost their lives for us. We had a minutes silence to reflect on what it meant to us all individually.
Our House and Vice Captains went to Broxburn to represent the school at the local Remembrance day service.
We are all looking forward to Book Week next week. We can’t wait to find out what our new book based topic is.

Last week in Primary 4 we were using our research skills to find out about some famous explorers. We used books and the internet to complete a fact file. We then used these to create a poster about our chosen explorer. Here is an example of some of our work.

In Maths this week Primary 1 have been learning about pattern. We created our own patterns using numbers, colours and shapes.
We also made spooky pumpkins for Halloween.
