Our Creative Curriculum Committee got together to discuss how we would like to lead the school forward in our leadership role.
During our meeting we had a focus on our school garden 🪴

We agreed that it is all our responsibility to keep our school garden looking good. Everyone had a good look around  to see what’s going well and what we could do to make the garden even better.

Everyone agreed that the herb garden 🪴 was good and we enjoyed smelling and identifying some herbs, but we think we can be better gardeners so we plan to buy each class some seeds/ bulbs and assign each class a space.

As part of our leadership role in the school we also would like the opportunity to teach others, share our skills and as we are the Creative Curriculum Committee we agreed a good way to do this would be through games!
We want to use our participatory budget to buy some board games and create a Games Club….. watch this space.

Another busy week in Primary 3. We undertook stage 2 of our Egyptian mummy making and wrapped our mummies in bandages before covering in glue to make them hard on the outside. We are now waiting until they dry.

Our Building Thinking Classrooms task involved trying to solve a tricky problem using coloured cubes but with positive attitudes and some great teamwork we were able to come up with some interesting solutions.

On Thursday afternoon we ventured into the garden area with Mrs Ferguson only to be met with some upsetting news –  the slugs had munched their way through some of the lovely plants and flowers we had planted! There was nothing else for it but to plant some more so fingers crossed!

It was lovely to meet so many parents and carers at our Parental Consultations this week and be able to give such positive updates on our children in general and also on pupil learning. Thank you!

A great week in P5/4! We are working on description writing and are currently describing Halllowern. We are  also researching Romans using our laptops and have been learning about ecosystems.
we now have pet snails in class and will be learning about their safe ecosystem and what non living things they need to survive.

P5 also enjoyed a morning at West Calder High School playing dodgeball which was organised by a former pupil. Everyone had a great time! Well done everyone!
