P3 Class Blog

P3 have had lots of fun doing expressive arts this week.

For dance, we had a taster session from Danceworld. We all had to stay on our spots and do the moves we learned at the same time.

For drama, we have started rehearsals for our class assembly. We have been learning about scripts, cues and stage directions.

For music, we have been practising singing our songs for the class assembly.

We used our literacy skills to write invitations for our class assembly and brought them home. Please check school bags if you haven’t received your invitation yet. The assembly will be on Friday 24th November. Please arrive at 9am for a 9.15am start.

 

P6 Weekly Blog

Well done to Ciaran and James who were picked to recite their poems at the Scots assembly. Well done also to Dolce, Hollie, Liam and Eilidh who gave a super performance when performing ‘Strip the Willow’ with the P7 dancers. It was a super afternoon which we all enjoyed. We hope the senior citizens who attended enjoyed it as much as we did!

Primary 2

This week the children took part in our Scottish Assembly.  Well done to Nathan and Oliwia for reciting their Scottish poems and to Lucas, Cerys, Callum and Kamila for performing The Canadian Barn Dance with pupils from primary three.

We have also been learning about 3D shapes and have used them to make models.  In literacy we have been learning about magic ‘e’ and how it changes the sound of the middle vowel, for example, cap becomes cape.  Can you find some more words that can be changed by adding magic ‘e’ to them?

Nativity

Over the past few weeks, Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 have been learning about Nativity.

First, we heard the Nativity story, and tried to relate what we learned to our own ‘Wriggly Nativity’ story. We also looked at different versions of the story and talked about what was the same and what was different.

Then, we moved on to creating the programme for our own Nativity performance. We drew a picture of ourselves as our character, wrote our own name and tried hard to write our character’s name. They looked great! We photocopied them for our grown-ups to enjoy too!

Finally, after lots of singing and acting (and wriggling!) came our performance of ‘Wriggly Nativity’. After a slight delay from the fire alarm, we were ready to go! We loved the songs, especially the parts where we could wriggle! Mrs Andison and Miss McLaughlin were very proud – we’re sure we saw tears in their eyes! We really enjoyed our learning over this topic!

Miss McLaughlin and Mrs Andison would like to thank Nia Mullen (P5) and Lewis Paterson (P4) for being wonderful narrators; Liam Cavanagh (P7) and Zoe Evans (P7) for being super with our sound; Rebecca Lawrie (P7) and Alexa Renwick (P7) for selling our programmes; Miss Speirs for keeping the performance going; Mrs Hull for all the song rehearsals; all of the grown-ups who came to see our performance and bought the programmes, and finally, to the children in Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 who worked so hard to make the performance as special as it was. Thank you.

Merry Christmas from Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 🙂

Busy, busy, busy

As the end of term comes hurtling towards us it is sometimes hard to find the time to record the highlights of each week.  This past week has seen the P3 class participate in some Highland Games, our  annual Beach Disco and our final sports day, which is when we do all the races.  Thankfully the weather has been on our side and everything has gone to plan.  The last week of term is likely to be just as busy, if not busier to watch this space.

Here are photos of some of the highlights of the week . . .

Primary 3

Primary 3 have been researching about the pyramids this week and have also been learning some Egyptian dance moves! All the boys and girls enjoyed taking part in World Maths day and playing the games on the laptops. Our class assembly is now organised for the 21st of March, so we have made our invitations to be sent home.

Scot’s Afternoon

This week saw our very successful Scot’s afternoon for the senior citizens of Pumpherston and Uphall Station as well as many of our parents and grandparents.  The children all worked hard to learn a selection of Scot’s poems and a several traditional scot’s songs and P5 learned a dance, which they performed with great enthusiasm.  The afternoon was a great success and the audience appeared to enjoy it thoroughly.
