This week Primary 5’s “Football Champions” programme came to an end, and what better way to showcase our skills we have learned and developed over the last 12 sessions than to host a mini football festival!
Primary 5 have the best time working with David, a coach from West Lothian Community Foundation to develop leadership, confidence, and football skills.
This week, P5/4 had the opportunity to take part in a Judo taster session. We played some fun games and learned some impressive Judo moves.
In IDL this week, P5/4 were learning about load, structural integrity and tension. We used this learning to work collaboratively to build a bridge using only lollypop sticks and sellotape. We then had to measure how much weight our bridges could hold. We used skills like prediction, trial and error and collaboration. We had great fun and were impressed with our structures.
Primary 2/3 have been learning to write information reports. Following on from Burns Night, we brainstormed what we know about Scotland, from the music, animals, landmarks down to the Scots Words. We created information reports about Scotland and created our own tartan by weaving paper. We also enjoyed singing ‘heids, shooders, knaps and taes’.
In Primary 2 this week we enjoyed a special visit from Dave for “Wee Story, Big Sound”, where the children created their own song using a shopping list of items from his bag.
In maths, we explored grouping objects by colour and size, and in PE we practiced badminton skills, working together to take part in a rally.
This week we have been working on expanding our multiplication strategies and explaining our thinking in numeracy.
In Writing we have been researching and gathering notes on our chosen animal to use in our information reports.
In Art we experimented with different materials to create collages of Anne of Cleves.
This week in P6/7 we enjoyed playing handball with P4/5. We also had great fun working as a team on our chocolatey packaging production line. We had to work collaboratively to follow the steps and be as efficient as possible.
Primary 1 have loved our Wednesday morning music and storytelling sessions. We have been learning about musical instruments, joining in with fun stories and songs and playing some fun games too!
