Thank you so much to Mrs Bisson, our brass instructor, for taking two of our talented P5 children to play at the West Lothian Schools’ Brass Day. This event was held at Strathbrock Centre in Broxburn and Millie Haokip and Joanna Begarnie in P5A both attended. Both girls loved the experience and had a wonderful day!

Great fun this afternoon, constructing a map of Scotland and identifying key locations within it as part of our topic work this term.
Ava Green in P2 came along to see me this morning with her two gymnastics awards from a competition at the weekend. Ava also told me about her lovely sparkly leotard with gem stones on it, that she worn for the competition. I think that I would like to wear this leotard too! 😝 Well done Ava!

A massive congratulations to Ross Findlater in P7B and Lucy Roy in P7A for their recent success in the Primary Engineer Awards. All of our children did very well in the challenge which was to create an invention, with many gaining a ‘distinction’ pass. Ross and Lucy’s inventions however, have been chosen to go through to he next stage in the competition. Ross invented a special type of car alarm and Lucy a device to suppprt people with memory problems. We are delighted for you both! Thank you to Mrs Tulloch for her support with this.

New life
Lots of excitement at Bonnytoun this week.
We watched on the screen, chicks hatch out of the bird’s eggs. We think the bird in the nest is a coal tit. The parents of the little chicks have been extremely busy feeding them all week.
We also have 10 caterpillars in nursery. We have been watching them grow. Already they have got so much bigger and fatter.
This week we also had grandparents/ Special person day. This was attended by over 90 special people. Thank you to everyone who attended.
Firstly Miss Mudd would like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff at Springfield for looking after her class whilst she was poorly. They were in very good hands and were doing some fantastic learning.
This week we have been learning all about grouping items and linking this to multiplication. We practised grouping items and used lots of different objects around the classroom eg. bottle tops, cubes, pencils, toys and even children! We were then introduced to the different types of language that we can use such as: sets of, groups of, times, multiply.
We were then introduced to arrays. We looked at pictures of arrays in our everyday lives and talked about how it can help us count quickly. We used sponge painting to make our own arrays and described them using the language we had been taught.
We even went outside and used the cones and giant dots to work in groups and create different arrays.
Maths can be so much fun!!
We enjoyed some free play outside in the sunshine this week. We played with the construction materials, danced with the ribbons, practised our ball skills and even did some group reading outside. We used the ribbons to write our digraphs in the sky!
We also wanted to say a big well done to Miss Harrison and her class for their wonderful assembly. It was so nice to see the progress that our P1 children have made and it meant a lot to look back on the special memories we have all made together.
