This week we learned all about numbers to 10 – what they look like and we tried writing some of them !

We tried writing our names too.   We did really well.

We learned lots of new sounds  like m for mountain, a for apple, s for snake and d for dinosaur.

 

We made play dough dinosaurs ! And we scooted about on bikes and scooters.

Our P7 buddies helped came down to our class and read stories to  us .   We really enjoyed that .

P6’s last few weeks!

Leave a comment

P6 have had an amazing last few weeks!

We have enjoyed some great outdoor learning sessions – climbing trees and making s’mores. We also enjoyed a fantastic trip to Edinburgh zoo where we enjoyed a picnic in the sunshine and got to see lots of amazing animals. We took our performance of Shrek the Musical to the stage and loved every minute of it – well done to all our actors and set designers! Then we rounded it all off with a ‘goodbye P6’ party before receiving our P7 ties.

Our future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades!!! P6 – Yoda Best!

Another amazing performance of Shrek the Musical by our P4-7s!

Leave a comment

Parents and carers were treated to another amazing  performance of Shrek the Musical Jr! Once again it was an ‘all hands on deck’ situation and our P4-7s really showed that teamwork makes the dreamwork.

Feedback was amazing, with parents and carers saying they were blown away by the brilliant acting, singing and dancing and by the beautiful costumes, set designs, face painting and scenery.

Well done to every single member of P4-7 for working so hard these past few months to create such a memorable event.

Leave a comment

Tonight was the opening performance of Shrek the Musical and what a show! All pupils have worked hard for months to bring the show to the stage! As well as learning lines and dancing, pupils made all the scenery and props, created a giant Fairy Tale book and did important behind the scenes work including lighting, sound, scene changes and more! Well done everyone! It really was a Shrek-tacular show!

P2 at Edinburgh Zoo

What a day we have had today!!

When we got to the zoo we took part in an interactive quiz where we were learning and guessing what animals were endangered.

We then had lunch in the shade by the penguins. We tried to get around as many animal enclosures as we could and seen most animals. Our favourite animals were the giraffes, pandas, flamingos, kangaroos, penguins, tigers, hippos and monkeys. We have loved our trip today and now want to go to the safari park!!

This week in P1

Leave a comment

We have had a great week spending lots of time outdoors. On Monday we began our new section of measure with our focus on weight. We estimated and weighted different objects around the classroom using balance scales. We tried to estimate how many cubes each object weighed and we then tested our answers by weighing the objects.

We really enjoyed our walk to West Calder library on a beautiful sunny Tuesday. We loved exploring the choice of books and reading them. We were lucky to get to check out our own books which we will read in class. Thanks to Ann who works in the library for helping us and making our visit so enjoyable.
During our outdoor education we said goodbye to our fully grown butterflies. We have enjoyed watching them go through their life cycle and learning all about them.

Broomlee- The Final Countdown…

Leave a comment

The last full day at camp continued the same successful story for all our campers. Raft-building, Bush-skills and archery were among today’s highlights. What has really been apparent to instructors and teaching staff, has been the way teamwork and togetherness has really deepened in the group. The ability to work together to overcome challenges, knowing each other’s strengths and when to support has really shone through today. We ended our day with campfire stories, songs and marshmallows. Lots of memories which will never be forgotten!

P7 Camping Update Wednesday 31st May

Leave a comment

Wow- another stunning day in sunny Broomlee. Sleepy heads at 7:30 this morning but breakfast of cereal, croissants (chocolate ones too) and toast helped set us up for the day. Catwalk for one of the groups and Raft Building were 2 of many highlights of the day. A big shout out to Sam and Shannon who were voted ‘Best Leaders’ during Nightline activity by their team along with Miss Lindsay who climbed to the top (yes the TOP) of the Catwalk. Again lots of smiles, hard work and success for all. At this time, we are completing camp quiz activities. Well done to each and every one of our amazing Campers.

Happy Campers in Sunny Broomlee

Leave a comment

What a fabulous start to our P7 Camp. After an uneventful bus journey, we were straight to activity. Both groups enjoyed testing their teamwork  in Low Ropes, tackling fear of heights in Catwalk (amongst the birds in the trees) and their strategic thinking during Crate Climb. Lots of fun and excitement amongst all pupils, with a bucket load of pride as everyone was successful. After a hearty dinner we are now playing Highland Games in the beautiful evening sunshine. Happy Campers!
