Primary 3 had a great time performing their expressive dance last week to Katie Perry’s song, “Roar”. The class enjoyed it so much they have asked if they can perform the dance again when they have their class assembly soon.
P6 Weekly Blog
Well done to our talented P6 gymnasts: Eilidh, Jamie Lee and Niamh for their fantastic display last week! They were so good perhaps we will see them at the next Commonwealth Games!
Talking of the Commonwealth Games here are some of our pictures which we hope will be picked to be entered into the competition to be displayed at the atheletes village during the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in July! Good luck everyone!
P1 Feel the Pinch
This week, Primary 1 have been getting to grips with clay and making pinch pots. First, we made our clay nice and soft, then rolled it into a ball. Then, we made a hole in the middle with our thumb and pinched the clay around the sides to make the pot. We have left them to dry and are looking forward to seeing how they look on Wednesday. If you’d like to try to make pinch pots at home, you can do it using clay or salt dough!
Happy Holiday Weekend

Primary 4
This week in Science, Primary 4 have enjoyed learning about the organs of the human body. We looked at the position of the heart, lungs, brain, liver, kidneys and intestines and described the important jobs that they do.
We have also been working hard in Maths to develop our division skills. We know that we can use our times tables to find the answers and draw pictures to help us. There are lots of great games online to allow you to practise your division skills at home. Click on the links to play Division Mine and Maths Magician.
P5 Passover
In RME this week we were learning about the Seder meal, the special meal Jewish people have to celebrate Passover. We had a pretend Seder meal in class. We tasted some of the traditional foods which each remind us of part of the Passover story. Matzah (crackers) and Charoset (chopped apple) were yummy, the horse radish was more of a challenge.

What a lovely surprise…
This morning the teachers were surprised by the kindness and talent of one of our P6 girls. Krtisinna decided to make a cake for the teachers to eat at playtime. Doesn’t it look lovely?
P6 Weekly Blog
This week we have been drawing pictures about all of the sports which will feature in the Commonwealth Games which will be held in Glasgow in July. We produced our best work and we hope some will be selected to appear in the athletes village. Next week we will put up some of our finished entries for you to see.
We started our football training with Greg from Broxburn United Football Club. He is helping us all to lead a healthy lifestyle by making sure we eat healthily and take regular excercise. We were doing sit ups and wall presses to improve our personal fitness. We have been given fitness homework to help us improve our levels of fitness.
This Friday Eilidh, Jamie Lee and Niamh will be taking part in the gymnastics display which will be held at 11.45. Good luck girls!
P7 are on Didbook!
Primary 7 have been busy updating their new Didbook profiles. Didbook has taken over from our reflective diaries where we can think and write about our learning. W e created targets last week and are all trying hard to achieve them.
Primary 5 learn about animal adaptations
Science/Health & Wellbeing
This week we have been learning about animal adaptation and how certain features help animals survive in their habitat. For example a polar bear has hairy paws to stop slipping on ice. They also have tiny ears to stop their eardrums from freezing. We worked in group sto create a booklet about certain animals – here are a few photos.
Literacy
As we enjoyed creating our booklets we decided to write a short report about our animal. We had to include 2 paragraphs. The first paragraph included 3 facts about the animal and the second paragraph included 3 facts about the animal’s adaptations. We then read a partner’s work and gave peer feedback.
Numeracy
This week we started a new maths topic – addition and subtraction. We have all been reminding ourselves of the number bonds to 20 by playing games. We have also been adding on lots of ten to bigger numbers using mental strategies and the empty number line strategy. We have also been able to take away lots of ten from bigger numbers. We know that we have to start at the beginning of the line for adding questions and the end of the line for subtraction questions. Next week we will continue to work on this.
Didbook
We were very excited this morning when we got to start using Didbook. Didbook is like a reflection diary but stored online (securely). We can update our Didbook diaries from home by visiting my.didbook.com and using our school email address to log in. Miss Anderson is already looking forward to reading and commenting on our entries.
That’s all from us – hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Miss Anderson and P5
