Children received a letter in their bags last week, please sign up to 3 of our workshops and come along and join us.
Day 1 – 10 Eggs have arrived in P1!
Primary 1
It has been short but busy week for P1. They have been rehearsing for a very special assembly next month. Making invitations was our first job so that we had an audience. They had to write down all the important information an invitation needs and then design the cover. They will be ready to come home on Monday!
Mrs McJimpsey and Mrs Hardie had an exciting call on Wednesday after school. The man said that he had heard Primary 1 are learning about how different living things grow and how to care for them. He would like to give us some eggs to look after in our classroom. We shared ideas about what might be inside. Here are some ideas:
- Ducklings
- Dragons
- Flowers
- Chocolates
- Chicks
- Seeds
- Beach balls
The eggs will arrive on Monday and we can investigate further!

Dress Down Day – Change of Date
Due to school camp and family photos the February dress down day will on 8th March. We would request that if children chose to take part in the dress down day that they make a donation (usually £1) and this donation will go towards Fairtrade as it is Fairtrade fortnight.
We are aware that this is the P1 Assembly Day but they can also take part in the dress down day.
Primary 1 Baby Pics
Thank you for the pictures we have received so far. The children are going to love seeing how their classmates have changed!
Many thanks
School Photographs – 26th February
The school photographer will be in school on Tuesday 26th February 2019 to take individual and group photographs.
ALL PUPILS will be photographed individually and in family groups where applicable, unless contact has been made with the school prior to this date.
A “proof” of the photographs will be sent home to you to and there will be several different photo pack options to choose from, if desired.
Morning nursery children should arrive at nursery promptly on this day as they will be the first to have their individual and sibling photographs taken.
Afternoon nursery children should arrive at nursery at the usual time of 12.18pm and they will be taken for their individual and sibling photographs by their teachers during the normal session.
I have arranged for the photographer to take photographs of pupils with younger brothers and sisters who do not attend the school. These photographs will be taken on Friday 1st March in the library, commencing at 8.30am. There will be a time slot system in place for these photographs and the school will inform you of your time.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the school.
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.
Primary 1
Just a little reminder about P1 baby photographs for the March assembly. It would be lovely if you could either send in or email a picture of your child as a baby for a learning activity leading up to the assembly. Pictures will be returned safely. It would be greatly appreciated if we could have these by Thursday 14th February.

Many thanks,
