Friday Parent Craft Club

craft-club

Do you enjoy making things and getting involved in crafts?  Is this more fun with friends?  Then come along to our new weekly parent-led Craft Club!

The club is the brainchild of Sarah Jane, parent of Murron, Mia and Sorley and is a new plan to help parents socialise more and have fun being crafty together.

The club plans to meet in the school dinner hall every Friday from 11am – starting this Friday (24 Feb).  Younger children are welcome too, if necessary.

Come along and join in – it’s free and fun for everyone.

P6 Weekly Blog

This week we have been using fractions in maths and have learnt how to change fractions to decimals and percentages. In health and well being we have been learning how to keep ourselves safe. We talked about trust and peer pressure and made acrostic poems to show our understanding. In our writing we have been analysing different types of poems and looking for rhythmic patterns, onomatopoeia, alliteration and personification.

Primary 1

Primary 1 have been learning how to double numbers this week. We have been using strategies such as counting on our fingers or drawing pictures to find the answer. In writing, we have been learning how to use adjectives. We all wrote about one of our classmates, using adjectives to describe them. This is what Sophie-Rose wrote about Ola:

Ola has brown hair and she has a pony tail. Ola has brown pretty eyes. Ola has ladybug earings. She has a dress and white top. Ola is helpful. I like playing doctors with Ola.

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!

Big Schools’ Bird Watch

This week Club Wild  took part in the RSPB’s Big Schools’ Bird watch. We set up three bird watching areas in and around the playground where we had placed bird feeders the week before in the hope that birds would come.

In our first area we turned the shelter in the playground into a bird hide, in the second area we hid in the school garden shed and the third area we made bird hides in the thicket of trees in the carpark.  Using our binoculars, bird spotting books, cameras and our counting sheets we watched and listened for a full hour.

All our hard work making the bird feeders, setting them up and watching quietly rewarded us with blue tits, great tits, wood pigeons and robins in the woodland thicket. What beautiful music! We learnt that the smaller birds need the shelter of bushes and trees while the larger birds, crows, magpies and seagulls are happy scavenging in the playground when we are not there.

Look out for more winter adventures next week with Club Wild.

Cheers, Sarah-Jane

 

Primary 5

This week, Primary 5 ventured out of school to head for the pool! 

We went to Xcite Broxburn to be assessed on our swimming skills. We were split into groups and got to practise our front/back swimming strokes, floating, turning, paddling and retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool. We were shattered by the end of it! We were excellent role models for the school and Miss McLaughlin was very impressed with how hard we tried!

Xcite Broxburn will offer free swimming lessons to individuals based on the results of their assessments. More information will follow soon.

Check in with us to see what we get up to next week!

Until then…
Primary 5 & Miss M 🙂
