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!
Three of our classes have been learning about the Jewish celebration of Hanukkah which takes place around the world this week. Primary 6 used the internet to find out about the story behind the celebration, with armies in battle and a very special bottle of oil. They watched video clips of Hannukah celebrations and learned how to play the Driedel game. A team from P6 then visited Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 to play the game with them and share their learning. This game was first played to help the Jewish children learn their letters and sounds in secret. When we played it this week we learned new letters, practised our counting skills and showed what good sports we are when our friends won our tokens!
