Well done Rosa for sharing your learning with other members of the class.
In Maths today, she managed to complete a challenge to fit her body through a piece of A4 paper.
P3 Achievements
All pupils in P3 completed a 5 week ‘Fun Start Fitness’ course today.  During the 5 weeks they have learned lots about mental wellbeing, the importance of water, physical exercise, diet and teeth.  James from Broxburn United Sports Club, who led the sessions, was very impressed with effort, enthusiasm to learn and behaviour.  We hope they can share their learning at home.
Well done to all the P3s!

Primary 1/2
In Science, we have been learning all about our senses. We can list the five senses and talk about their importance in keeping us safe and telling us about the world around us. This week we learned all about our eyes. We drew diagrams of the eye and labelled its different parts. We were also able to talk about the job that different parts of our eyes do.
Within Literacy, we’ve been learning to use adjectives. We are beginning to identify adjectives in stories we read in class and we can use them in our sentences to write descriptions of characters. This week we enjoyed writing descriptions of each other.
Here are some other things we enjoyed:
Jack – ‘I liked Beat That Maths test because it was a challenge and I had fun doing it.’
Olivia – ‘I liked French and doubling numbers in Maths.’
Emily – ‘I liked French and drawing the eye.’
Gymnastics
On Friday mornings we are starting to work with Ms Pender to learn gymnastics. Today we were learning about balance. Ms Pender was delighted with our work and lots of us were able to demonstrate our moves to the class.
P6 Artwork
As part of our Scots focus, P6 have been studying the work of the Scottish Colourists. First, we looked at examples of their work and talked about their styles of painting and what the artwork made us think and feel. The children then created their own portraits inspired by the work of John Duncan Fergusson. Finally, they set up their own still life compositions using classroom objects and used shading to draw the still life, inspired by the work of Samuel Peploe.
Primary 1
This week in Science, Primary 1 have been learning about our 5 senses. We drew what our favourite thing was to taste,smell, touch, see and hear. We also learned about how the different parts of the eye work. We labelled a picture of an eye showing the pupil and iris.
