The School Bank are a local charity who help families in need within West Lothian and who provide clothing/footwear to children for the school day.  There are a small number of parents from our school who volunteer with this charity and we are organising a collection of clothing, footwear and school bags to help this local organisation and ultimately to help children within West Lothian.  In addition, it would help us all reduce our carbon footprint by re-cycling.  It’s a win win!

The School Bank are looking for USED SCHOOL UNIFORM AND GENERAL CLOTHING.  This could be:

• – All school uniform e.g. shirts, trousers, skirts, pinafores, jumpers, cardigans and gingham dresses
  – Gym kit
  – Jackets
  – Shoes and trainers
• School bags
• – General clothing – both kids and adults

To help you organise any uniform / clothing to donate we will have dress down days on the last two days of term – Thursday 28^th and Friday 29^th June.

P6.7 Learning Adventure Overview Term 4

Please take the time to have a look at the learning that will be taking place this term in P6/7.

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all staying safe and warm on this snowy day. I have been keeping in contact with you all via Classdojo and keeping an eye out for any tasks you have completed so far.

Here are some extra activities which you might enjoy:

Literacy/Technology: write a blog post detailing your ‘Snow Day’ off school, include ambitious vocabulary and any of our BOOST words we’ve learned so far.

Numeracy: https://nrich.maths.org/6499

Use this link to play Countdown and try to see if you can beat the grown-ups!! Let me know your solutions and post them on the blog/dojo or email them to me.

Art: Go for a walk and look around, what do you see, recreate this image in a piece of artwork using any material of your choice. Rachel Mc has already had a go at making a snowflake. The link is on our Winter Ready class page.

Daily Mile: Get outdoors and do your daily mile in the snow. I managed 2.5 miles this morning with my 2 girls. Take a selfie and send it to me.

Drama/Music: use your script and MP3 sound files on your email to practise for the show as we were due to have a rehearsal today, make or gather any props you need.

Hopefully I’ll see you all tomorrow!

Today I am writing to you to raise awareness for children at war.

This is Israa, she is 13 years old she used to live in a small village in Syria, she went to school like all of us, she loved art! She even wanted to be an artist! And even has 5 little brothers and sisters!.

But then one day a bomb hit that small village and she had to flee to a small refugee camp in Jordan. Now she doesn’t have anything she used to Toys, electronics, perfumes all she was allowed to bring were a few pairs of clothes.

Now she only goes to school once a week. So tell me how would you feel if you were in the place of Israaa how would you feel sad, scared, anxious, terrified, please let me know?

Israa’s country was attacked and they needed to move to Syria and she couldn’t take the toys she wanted to. Israa’s family could just take clothes.

About Isra,

Isra lived with her mum , brothers and sisters and she was just 13 years old. She just go 3 times  in a week to school. Israa had to find new friends because all her friends need to go to the different country .

She was almost always playing with her sisters and brothers and Israa’s house was very small.

Today I wanted to write a blog about children and how they are affected because of war and conflict. I want to raise awareness of what their life is like because I learned about a child called Israa. She lives in a refugee camp in Jordan with her family. Israa was a normal child like you and me until she had to leave Syria because of war.

She said ‘’I miss my garden and the roses in it, school and friends” She used to go to school Mon/Fri like me and  you, right now she goes Mon/Tue/Wed, this is a big change, right.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR LIFE IS  LIKE COMPARED TO HER’S?
