Primary 7 Create Questionnaires on Glow
Primary 7 have created a questionnaire on Glow to ask chilren for feedback on their recent trip to Dalguise.
They logged onto Glow using their username and passwords, and` accessed their email accounts. Then they located the ‘waffle’.
They had to consider some of the different types of questions we might ask about Dalguise. Here are some of the finished forms:

Scots Week in the Nursery
The children have had great fun this learning all about all things Scottish. They have had the opportunity to taste different Scottish foods. They have tasted haggis neeps and tatties. They have tasted oatcakes, raspberries and had porridge for breakfast.
Lots of the children have enjoyed listening to bagpipes. We have looked at the kilts and talked about the tartan pattern. Some of the children were interested in the bagpipe music and learned some highland dancing.
We have looked at the Scottish mountains, the highland cows and places in Scotland like castles and the Forth bridges. Maybe the children would like to visit some of these places.
The children have enjoyed this topic so much that we are still continuing to learn about Scotland, singing lots of Scottish songs, reading story books and learning the Scots words.
Primary 3
This week, Primary 3 took their first steps with Free Writing!
Free Writing happens when children are given a theme/idea and can write in any way about it. This week, children were given the theme of ‘Scotland’ and began their free pieces. We had so much variety! Have a look below at some of our work!
Until next time…

Scottish Celebration Assembly
This morning we held our annual Scottish Assembly to celebrate all things Scottish. It was fantastic to have older family members, family and friends join us for the celebration.
We welcomed two judges for the poetry recitals, Mrs Thom from our office and Mr Jenkins a local resident who is part of the Burns Federation.
Two pupils from each class were selected to present at the assembly.
The judges decided on one child from each stage from P2-7 to go through to the West Lothian Burns Competition in February/ March.
The winners were:
- P2 – Jacob
- P3 – Sophie-Rose
- P4 – Eilidh
- P5 – Aaron
- P6 – Owen
- P7 -Lauren
Congratulations to the children who performed but also to all the children who recited a poem in front of their class.
Two girls from Primary 4 demonstrated some Scottish dancing.

Scot’s Week in P2
This week P2 welcomed storyteller Paraig McNeil who told us lots of Scottish stories. We learned about tartan and foods and Scottish tradition.
At home we have been learning Scot’s songs and poems. I am happy that so many in the class had the confidence to recite these in front of all the other pupils.
Well done to Iona and Jacob who were voted to recite their poems at the Assembly.
