The micro:bit is a tiny computer that makes coding tangible and promotes digital creativity.
We have a limited number of micro:bits in school for current P5 and P6 pupils to take part in an independent summer project exploring how they work.
The micro:bits can connect to a PC using a USB cable or ipad using the free ‘micro:bit’ app.
You will be provided with a micro:bit kit and access to online links and tutorial to support your learning.
Please see the form below for more information and to sign up.
The questionnaire will close on 13th March 2020.

As part of book Week Scotland we had an author visit from Will Wood, the author of The Fairy with the Broken Wings. He worked with P4, 5, 6 and 7, exploring his novel and sharing how he became an author.
Thank you so much to Ms Cook for organising this visit and to Mr Wood for his time.
He sent us this very thoughtful and inspiring message:
Deep in the heart of West Lothian is a small town named Livingston. On the very edge there is two smaller areas, Pumpherston and Uphall Station and in their midst they share a building. The building itself is not very big, but what it lacks in size it gains in potential, for within its walls it contains something very special.Â
Future Doctors, Scientist, Medics, Nurses, Fire and Police men and women. Movie stars,singers and dancers, musicians, Olympians and sports idols. Prime Ministers and MP’s, soldiers, sailors, tinkers and tailors, bankers and backers, the Jacks and Jills of all trades and walks of life.
They are not aware of this yet but the vacancies will be theirs to fill fifteen or twenty years from now. Their responsibility is to learn and fulfill their dreams, their teachers’responsibility is to provide the basic tools and the encouragement they require.Â
I wish you the very best that life can offer, behave, be good, be patient and most of all, believe in yourself.
Remember what you wrote beneath your names and go for it.
Thank you all for having me and sharing a little bit of your life. It was an honour and a privilege. I take with me  a little sample of your imagination, your enthusiasm and most of all your smiles.
All the best in life and study,
Will Wood
Today we had a very special delivery to the school from Burton Roofing Manufacturers. Primary 7 wrote letters to Burton Roofing to ask if they could help us for our project – to build our own Anderson shelter as part of our WW2 topic. They were kind enough to offer their support and have very generously supplied us with sheets of corrugated metal and all the fixings. We have spent a number of weeks digging out the base, with the help of Sarah-Jane, for the shelter and we are at the point of almost being ready to build it. Primary 7 and Mrs Andison owe Burton Roofing a huge thank you for the materials. It is great to know we are supported by local businesses.
We will keep you posted on our progress.
On Friday 15th November, we are having a Children in Need fundraising morning.Â
To raise money we will be:
Thank you for your support.
