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!!!
Just a short message to remind parents/carers that the Primary 2/1 assembly will take place on Wednesday 28th February at 2.30pm. We really hope that you can join us!
Many thanks,
Miss M 🙂
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!
This week, Primary 2/1 were learning about shapes!
We explored examples of solid 3D shapes and discussed how they were different to flat 2D shapes. We were also able to identify real-life objects that were 3D shapes. Primary 1 children learned the correct names for 3D shapes and Primary 2 children were classifying shapes using their own criteria.
We linked our new knowledge of shapes to castle building and recognised that some parts of castles were 3D shapes (e.g. a cylinder as a tower, a cone as a turret roof, a cuboid as a drawbridge). We then worked in teams and used construction blocks to create our own castle models.
Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been learning!

This week, Primary 2/1 did some topic-based planning!
Miss McLaughlin gave us a set of clues and from these, we had to work out what our new topic theme was. Can you guess?
That’s right – we will be looking at castle life! Using the clues, we came up with an ‘I think…/I know…/I wonder…’ grid to help us shape our topic.
I think…
I know…
I wonder…
Check in with us again to see what else we have been learning!

On Friday, all children were given the chance to recite a Scots poem in class.
A big well done to two of our Primary one pupils, who worked hard at home to learn their poems and have been chosen to recite them at the P3 assembly on Wednesday. Well done to you both!
Please note that from this week our PE days will be a Monday and Thursday.
