As part of our Roots of Empathy work, Primary 6 have been learning about how to keep a baby safe at home.
Here are some of the rules we learned for keeping babies safe as they become more mobile.
1. Always supervise your baby.
2. Keep babies away from the oven.
3. Keep sharp objects out of reach.
4. Never leave a charger plugged in around a baby.
5. Always keep babies away from fireplaces.
6. Always keep bleach and other cleaning products locked away from babies.
7. Never leave a baby alone in the bath.
8. Always cover up sockets.
9. Always use stair gates.
10. Always check the floor for choking hazards.
We are looking forward to our visit from Baby Alfie on Thursday to find out more about his progress.
Over the last couple of weeks the nursery children have been interested in the Post Office and the Police Station.
After reading the Jolly Postman book the AM children decided to send a letter to the PM children asking them lots of questions about their nursery day. The children walked to the post office and bought a stamp and posted the letter in the letterbox. A few days later the PM Children received their letter and wrote a letter back to the AM children buying a stamp and posting it at the post office.
The children have been using the post box in the nursery learning that they need to use stamps to pay for the postage. They have been using the scales to weigh their packages and that to post a letter they need to use the correct name address and a post code.
Lucy and Freddie asked for the Police hats and a Police Station.
The children have been looking at their fingerprints, Talking about the jobs the Police do and making looking towers to catch the “baddies” and a jail in the garden! The children are continuing to learn about the job the Police do and we may even have a visit from a real Police Officer.

Primary 2S have been learning this week about things that are important to live a healthy life.
Kenzie: We should exercise. I go to football club.
Logan: I bring water to school every day. We should drink lots of water.
Hannah: It’s important to get enough sleep so we have energy.
Christopher: Eating lots of healthy food is good for us. I like bananas and apples.
Floraidh: It’s okay to eat some chocolate and sweets, just not all the time. I bring strawberries in a wee tub for my snack.
We made our own healthy food book and next week we will be preparing our own healthy food in class!
Mrs Bradley is a nursery Mum and also a music teacher at Broxburn PS. We have been learning Scottish songs over the last few weeks and Mrs Bradley came to teach us some more.
Mrs Bradley had us stamping our feet to the music, we clapped our hands and patted our knees.
We used the musical instruments to play along to the Scottish tunes and played the instruments soft and then loud.
We learned a new song too!!
“Oor wee bairn can sook a bar of chocolate” ” Oor wee bairn can sook a bar a day” (music on you tube)
Thank you so much to Mrs Bradley. We had great fun
Our Digital Directors, led by Mrs McJimpsey, gave us a fabulous assembly on Friday. There were lots of important messages about how to stay safe online. All pupils had spent the week learning about internet safety. This week, the Digital Directors have set a special home learning task:
Create a way to share the important messages of staying safe online. This can be in the form of:
-a poster made on paper
-a digital poster
-a video
If taking part, these should be handed in/emailed to wlpuscps@westlothian.org.uk by Friday 15th February.
We look forward to seeing these.
Dear P5 Parents/Carers,
We are getting very excited for camp next week! Please find some reminders below:
Good luck with the packing!
Primary 2S have been learning about how to stay safe on the internet. We listened to the story of Smartie the Penguin. Throughout the story we helped Smartie make the right decisions when he is on the internet. We learned that it is important to ask a grown up we trust for help when we are using the internet.
This week Primary 2S and Primary 2C have began rehearsing for their class assembly. The assembly takes place next Friday, 15th February at 9.15 am. We look forward to seeing you!
