This week we discussed how important it was for everyone to have their own name, nationality and registration so that we exist legally and can make sure we have all of our rights. Article 7 & 8. We learned to sing out our names “Loud & Proud” and shared some information about ourself in our jotters. As part of Scotland Math Week we took part in the West Lothian Sumdog competition. We learned that we are good at math.
On Wednesday we had a visit from Mr Drummond from Bathgate who gave us a great demonstration of how to play the bagpipes. Some of us were very keen and will hopefully be accepted to learn how to play the chanter in weekly lessons at school.
For our topic we have been very busy completing factfiles on key figures in the Scottish Wars of Independence. We made our heraldic shields. Next week we hope to get outside and practice using our shields as a shield wall and using long poles to create a schiltron like the armies of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.
On Thursday it was our Sharing the Learning afternoon but we still managed to plant Swiss Chard and Pumkin seeds. We also had a tidy up outside with weeding and planting.
On Monday and Thursday we practised our Hockey Skills. We were informed that Primary 5 pupils across the cluster were asked to take part in a Hockey Competition. We have some experience with hockey as Mrs Lafferty taught us some skills last year and we hope to polish up on those skills and develop game skills with our team mates.
