Primary 6

Last week we started badminton in P.E. with Mrs Pender.  We performed our fitness routines to P4 too, it was great fun.

For reading the blue group created good questions and the red reading group made persuasive leaflets.

To finish our Body, Bones and Blood topic we made line graphs to see who had the smallest bones.  Each group had a different bone to gather data on.

In writing we created our own characters.  We had to make them seem real by adding action, speech and feelings.

We are all looking forward to starting our new topic next week – Titanic!

Remember to keep practising your Scots poem for Monday!

Primary 6

Primary 6 have been learning all about bodies, bones and blood.  We measured different bones in our bodies, recorded the measurements and we are going to make a line graph using the data.  We made a model of the heart using plastic bottles, straws, balloons, tape, food colouring and water.  It showed us how the heart pumps blood.

In reading this week we all started new books in our groups.  Two groups are reading Roald Dahl and the other Michael Morpurgo.

In PE, we have been creating our own fitness routine to perform and teach Primary 4.  We worked well in our teams.

Sleigh bells ring…

We want to show off some of the super sleighs our children have designed and built for Santa this December! He will have a difficult job choosing between gold, glitter, rocket speed, reindeer power, and even time travel machines.

Quick Choir on Tour

Here are the Quick Choirs who were singing this week at St John’s hospital and Dobbies Garden Centre, Livingston.  We had a great time and we hope to hear soon how much was raised for the Friends of St John’s charity.  Well done to all our singers, you were a credit to the school.

Thank you to Horsburgh Buses for the transport and to Santa for joining in at Dobbies!

Winter Ready

Notification of any disruption to school provision, including before school starts or while the school day is running, will be transmitted to parents through the Groupcall text messaging system. It is essential that we have up to date contact details for all children – please ensure that you contact the school office if your child’s information needs to be updated. WLC will also provide information via announcements on local radio stations such as Forth One and Real Radio. Social media websites may also be used by WLC. Continue reading “Winter Ready”

We have moved!

Finally after many years of anticipation we are in our new school building.  It is very bright and seems very, very big compared to our previous home.  I have to say though, that the wait was well worth it.  The children are super excited to have so much space as each classroom has a breakout area where they can work quietly in small groups and a very big playground that is much easier to monitor.  The children love the decking and being able to bring each class into their own cloakroom will prevent so many problems of missing coats and crowded corridors.

We took a photo of everyone on the last day in the old school and another one on Wednesday 22nd March outside the new school.  This week sees our official opening and by the time the parent/teacher meetings come around in March it will look and feel like a ‘real’ school.

In our new home

The Big Pedal

The Big Pedal 2012

Now that we are in our new school, we’d like to encourage each other to cycle or scoot to school – there are lots of spaces to lock up your bike or scooter at the main entrance.  We’ll be logging how many scoots and cycle journeys are made on 3 special days in March to take part in The Big Pedal. See Mrs Hull for details.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

The school is really starting to feel Christmassy now.  We have a real tree in the dining hall.

and an even bigger tree in the Institute hall, though sadly it isn’t a real one.

The classes are all busy making things to decorate the dining hall for the Christmas dinner tomorrow, which will be served by teachers and accompanied by Christmas music.  Every class is rehearsing songs for the end of term service and all is going to plan.  We are all hoping that the snow and gale force winds stay away as we really don’t want any disruptions to our plans for next week, which is to be a really, really busy one.
