A few weeks ago we planted sunflower seeds.  Here they are growing really well.   We have been observing the changes in them.

Here we are at the Careers Fair. We had great fun trying on all of the diferent uniforms.

We enjoyed the martial arts stand,  It was great fun trying out some kicks,

Congratulations to our Primary 4 children who made their First Holy Communion during Mass yesterday at Our Lady & St. Bridget’s, West Calder. You did your families and our school proud! Well done!

Last week was a fantastic week in primary 7 where we got to explore a range of different activities such as American Football,  Football, Judo, smoothie making, and sports day. We all enjoyed this week immensely and are thankful for all the activities we were able to participate in.

This week we have been busy with our topic WW2 project where we are constructing a model of a trench, concentration camp or Anderson Shelter.
As a class we decided to merge our writing topic of procedure writing with our science topic chemical reactions. We gather various liquids (water, milk, vinegar) and we’re testing to see if a chemical reaction took place when submerging a gummy bear in the liquids overnight. Our results found changes in shape, texture, size, colour and overall appearance. Check out our results.

In-between the hard work we managed to squeeze in some fun Just Dance activities.

For the past two days primary 7 have been attending transitions to Highschool where they have been seen munching on the chocolate crispy cakes the made in home economics. Seems they have had a great time.

Another great week in Primary 7. Not long left now. Keep being yourself P7. You are all amazing, special individuals. Your teacher is so proud of you.

This  week we learned all about long , longer and longest and short , shorter and shortest.   We also measured the length of our feet and hands using cubes.

On Thursday we had a wonderful yoga session with the lovely lady from Nurture Yoga.   We learned how to hold strong poses and stretch our bodies.   We also had a lovely chill at the end, and nearly nodded off.

On National Numeracy Day we learned  that numbers are everywhere and we are always using numbers in our daily lives. We did a dance and had to use numbers to count out the steps and the actions in the dance.   We had to concentrate really hard, and as usual we were Superstars !

P6 have had a great Health Week.  They had a go at American Football, judo, bowling, fitness and relay racing. They all enjoyed Sports Day and made smoothies and fruit kebabs. There were also multiple opportunities to play football. It was a fun week and everyone enjoyed themselves.

On Friday,  Day 5 of our Health Week , we made fruit kebabs.  We had to choose the fruits we liked and carefully put it on to skewers.  We had great fun choosing and eating the delicious fruit.

 Here we are doing our last activity of the week , planting seeds !  We planted sunflowers, peas, basil and cress.   Watch this space to see them grow !  

What a fantastic week we had !   We learned lots of new skills and had amazing new experiences.   Parents , please feel free to leave a comment .  We’d love to hear from you.

On Thursday we had a visit from the School Nursing Service Nurses.  We talked about keeping fit and active, brushing our teeth,  getting enough sleep and all things that keep us healthy.

We also had a chance to make Dream Catchers. We did a great job !

After break we had a go at  Highland Dancing ! Hamish McHaggis would have been proud  !

Out came the pom poms and off we went with our Cheerleader dancing !

After lunch on Thursday we had a wonderful time doing amazing sensory activities which were set up by Miss Allan and Mrs Mc Master.  (Thank you )  We had to show how good we were at balancing , jumping  and rolling.

We also got to feel lots of different textures, some rough , some smooth and some sticky and yukky, we loved it  !

Here we are enjoying our Sensory Workshop set up by Miss Lindsey.  We got to play with squishy orbies , make magic potions, pump water through pipes, find objects frozen in ice and chip them out and spray paint onto paper !   It was so much fun !

What a fabulous day !

We have had a fabulous week. Trying all different types of activities.

We have captured many of them below in photos.  Come and see what we did.

We started our day with an Enjoy-a-Ball session.  We learned new skills linked to volleyball.   We tried out ‘digging’, ‘ serving’ and volleying the ball.   We had great fun.

After break we kept active by playing ‘Spot the Word’ and dancing at the same time.  That was fun.

After lunch we had our Sports Afternoon  and tried out lots of fun activities.   We were happy to see our families.

Another great day !
