They had to consider some of the different types of questions we might ask about Dalguise. Here are some of the finished forms:
Digital Directors Internet Safety Assembly
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.

Learning about Scotland in P4
Station 1
The children used their design skills and imagination to create their own tartan. They could chose if they wanted to use a netbook, iPad ror draw a tartan. Some children used the lines on paint on the netbooks and some used the doodle buddy app.
Station 2Â
At this station the children use their research skills to find out key facts about Robert Burns in pairs. They then used a Glow form to share their information by answering questions about his life.
Station 3
The children brainstormed Scots they already knew and used their research skills to learn some new Scots words using the iPads or netbooks. They made a video to share their learning.

Station 4
The children looked at maps of Scotland and decided which towns and cities they would like to visit. They used cones to make the cities and then programmed the Sphero robots to travel to different places in Scotland. Reflecting on their learning, they felt they are getting better at being able to make more accurate movements with the Spheros.
