P4-7 Visit the New Pump Track

In order to support health and safety and assessing risk at the new Pump Track beside our school we have taken P4-7 over for a visit. Although the Pump Track is not part of our school we know it is very tempting for our children on their way to and from school, so we wanted to support them with making decisions about the track.

First of all we discussed tips Miss Burton had previously shared with us:

  • ALWAYS wear a helmet, and elbow and knee pads.
  • Ask permission from your parents/ carers.
  • Only use your own bike/ scooter.
  • Read the safety signs.
  • Don’t use the track before school, unless agreed with your parent/ carer.
  • Don’t walk on the track if people are cycling.

We read the safety signs at the track.

We risk assessed the track, to discuss which parts we thought might be tricky.

Then we walked, fast walked or jogged around the track. This helped to give us a feel for what the track is like. Some of us even thought it would be good to do our daily mile on the track.

Some of our children who are very confident at using the track, volunteered to take part in a photo shot to promote the track by West Lothian Council. You will see that they are all wearing a helmet.

P6 and P7 Helpers @ Parent Consultations

It has been lovely catching up with parents and carers at our parent consultations this week. There was a great buzz across the school and lots of learning conversations.

A big thank you to our Primary 6 and 7 helpers for keeping the consultations running smoothly. We really appreciate them giving up their time to help us.

The book fair will be in school until Tuesday if you still would like to purchase a  book. A percentage of profits made will enable the school to purchase new books.

One of our P7s even decided to make their own movie!

Sharing Our STEM Learning

On Wednesday 13th March we invited our families to come and share our STEM Learning with us. They joined in lots of different activities with their children, you can see some the learning opportunities below.

Thank you to everyone who came along to join us.

Primary 7 shared some of their learning about China and how they have been comparing a school day in China to their own.

Primary 7 China topic

Feedback from our survey included:

What did you find out about your child’s learning that you did not already know?

  • That they were doing human biology.
  • My child knows more than he shows at home.
  • I saw Didbook for the first time, it’s great.
  • My child  is happy to accept help when offered

What other information would you like us to provide during Visit My Class sessions?

  • Some feedback from teachers. I feel the gap is maybe a touch long between feedback sessions.
  • If there is anything my child needs to improve on.

In what other ways can we support you to support your child at home?
