Christmas Fun in P1

Advent has arrived and so has all the busy preparations in primary 1. We have been using our creative art skills to make a Christmas poster to display in the dining hall. We made paper plate angels and decorated them with glitter, doilies and feathers.

We have also been enterprising this week and making some crafts to sell at the Christmas Fayre. We made reindeer food and calendars. We went in to the woods for some special photos to use on our calendars.  We discussed how much money we think we should charge for each item. We hope you will love them enough to buy them at the Fayre. We had time to explore, climb and play.

Christmas Craft Club

We had another fun week at Christmas Craft club.

We made concertina Christmas trees. Concentrating hard we folded them and then decorated them with sequence.

Lots of us made paperchain snowmen, linking the paper together to build our snowmen.

Lego, playdough and colouring in Christmas themed pictures was also lots of fun! We are looking forward to next weeks club!

P2 Family Campfire

Primary 2 had great fun at our family campfire today. We worked very hard last week to write and illustrate our own books which we enjoyed sharing with our families today. We have also been reading the books out of our Read Write Count bags and are looking forward to completing the activities in the bags at home.  At our campfire we made s’mores and even made some for our families too. We showed how we can be safe around a fire and how to use the trim trail.

We hope our families enjoyed coming to our campfire and enjoyed our stories.

 

 

P6 create graphic novels and enjoy some s’mores!

For Book Week Scotland, P6 planned and authored their own graphic novel. They worked really hard on this for a full week, complete with a writing plan and page planner, along with their illustrations and speech bubbles. After all this hard work, they were able to share their books with their parents/adult at Outdoor Learning, where everyone enjoyed a hot choc and some s’mores too! The weather was dry and sunny, albeit cold, and everyone had a wonderful time! Thank you so much to everyone who came along! After the session we went back to class and everyone read their books to the rest of the class!

Primary 4 14.11.22

It was a very busy week in Primary 4, we had book week and Catholic Education week.

For book week we have all become authors making our  very own fiction books. We look forward to sharing these with you at our bonfire day!

For Catholic Education week , all Catholic Schools across Scotland are celebrate at the same time.  The theme for this special week is Communion Participation, Mission.

Communion – We travel towards God together.

Participation – We join in at Mass.

Mission – We tell others about God’s Word.

This week

we looked at how we can participate in Mass and who we celebrate mass with, in school or at home. The children  shared their personal stories about going to Mass with their families, or at school.  They then made models of churches and who they would take to Mass.

It was a very wet outdoor learning session this week but we all enjoyed being out and connecting with nature. We talked about the trees 🌳 🌲 in our woodland area and where they came from. How some are native to Scotland and some actually came with the Vikings ( our class topic). We played a great game of Viking Raiders!

Communion, Participation, Mission.

This Week, all Catholic Schools across Scotland are celebrating CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK.  The theme for this special week is Communion Participation, Mission.

Communion – We travel towards God together.

Participation – We join in at Mass.

Mission – We tell others about God’s Word.

Today, we focused on how we can participate in Mass.  The children watched a lovely little story about going to Mass and shared their personal stories about going to Mass with their families, or at school.  They then drew pictures and wrote stories about how they can join in at Mass.

Look at these beautiful stories from our Primary 1 stars!

 

 

 

 

Primary 4

We had a fantastic first week at outdoor learning- despite the weather! We all love being outside and working on different types of challenges.

We listened respectfully during the Primary 6 Remembrance assembly and had good discussions in class about why it is important to remember the soldiers. In class we made some beautiful art pieces and read poems.

Remembrance service at West Calder war memorial

On Friday two P6 pupils and Mrs Sinclair joined staff and pupils from West Calder High School and other local schools to commemorate  Remembrance Day at the West Calder War memorial.

We laid our poppy wreath made by the whole class and took part in the service which was live streamed across the cluster. The brass musicians played the last post and the piper played whilst we laid our wreaths. It was a very lovely and respectful service, despite some very blustery winds.
