Libby from Active Schools ran a Cross Country event for us today. We worked hard both individually and collectively to ensure the event was a success. We all received a participation medal and proudly showed them off for the remainder of the day.

Well done P6 from Libby and Miss Walkingshaw!

P6 Visitor

Today we received a visit from Show Racism the Red Card to further enhance our knowledge of racism and discrimination. Kaela ran an insightful workshop for our P6 pupils where they were able to explore challenging topics in a safe space.

We want to say a massive thank you to Kaela for her visit and knowledge!

Girls Football Festival Winners!

Our Primary 6 girls attended a girls only football festival this afternoon at Deans Community High School.

There were 6 teams taking part in the festival from across West Lothian. We played 5 games in total and ended up joint winners with Bankton Primary School.

The girls were a credit to the school and themselves! Thank you to everyone at Deans Community High School for organising the event.

Well Done Pumphy!!!

Primary 6 Weekly Update

This week in Primary 6 we have been learning more about our topic for this term: The Human Body Systems. We were learning about the Skeletal System and the main roles it plays within the body.

We were set a challenge where we had to create a support for a tennis ball which would hold it high above a table. We discussed the different features of structures, what would work well and what would not offer enough support. This was to replicate the role that the skeleton plays in supporting the body.

Below were our two winners who were rated by their classmates as having a 10/10 rating!

Primary 1 blog

Primary 1 are learning to move around the hall safely in PE and are taking part in different activities that help with our balance and control.
On Wednesday, we had an Achievement Assembly. Ariya received an award for carefully drawing and talking about the people in her family and Hallie received an award for showing respect in class. Hallie has lovely manners and always remembers to say “please” and “thank you” when ordering her school lunch.

Primary 1

We have had another happy and settled week in class. We are becoming more independent and are now learning how to self-register in the morning. We all made a picture of ourselves for the wall and each morning, we move our picture down to let our teacher know we are here.
Depending on how we are feeling, we move our picture to a different mood monster (happy, sad, worried, tired or angry).  This lets Mrs Strachan know how we are feeling, so she can check in with us.

Primary 6 Class Charter

During our first week in Primary 6 we worked on ‘Building Our Community’. This is where we were reminded of school routines, expectations and standards, alongside getting to know our new teacher.

As part of this we created our Class Charter which displays our understanding of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which applies to all children. We recapped about ‘Rights Holders’ and ‘Duty Bearers’ which we then added to our charter.

We worked as a class to pick UNCRC rights that we felt were most important to us and  matched our shared vision for this year.

Our shared vision for this year is displayed in our classroom.
