P4 National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCOS)
Success criteria:
I can sing with others keeping in time and in pitch.
I can listen to more complex rhythms and copy them conveying my thoughts e.g. clapping, tapping on my body.
Primary 4 have been very lucky to have lessons with Miss Geoghegan from The National Youth Choir of Scotland (NYCOS). Miss Geoghan has been using songs and games to teach the children about time, pitch and rhythm. This is helping the children to develop their skills and confidence in performing in an active and fun environment. The children have been very keen to take part in the songs and games and are looking forward to their next lesson.
Basketball Team
Mrs Hamilton has been coaching our new basketball  team at lunchtime. They are taking part in the West Lothian Basketball league.
Primary 6 Cross Country
Congratulations to our Primary 6 children who represented our school in the cluster cross country event today.
Primary 7 Learning
In Maths we have been learning to use our tables to help solve a variety of different problems. During Maths week we started problem solving using different strategies and we are continuing some problem solving every week. We are currently using fractions in problems. We found the fraction problems a challenge so we are practising simplifying fractions and equivalent fractions.
In Writing we have been learning how to write a diary entry and have linked this to our topic about WW2. We are writing a diary entry for a child who was evacuated during the war. We looked at common features of diary entries and used these as our success criteria. Hopefully you will enjoy reading them at parents night.
