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.
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.
We have been looking at addition and subtraction in Numeracy and have been focusing on inverse operations. Primary 3 have become experts at this and have helped an alien to understand more about inverse operations by designing posters. In writing we completed our final Narrative Text about missing Christmas presents. We have had a busy week and have also enjoyed doing lots of Christmas artwork as well as attending our Christmas party and watching the P1 Nativity.
P6/7 have been learning traditional Scottish country dances! We’ve been practicing the St Bernard’s Waltz, the Canadian Barn Dance, and the Gay Gordons. It’s been great fun, and we’ve discovered just how energetic (and exhausting!) ceilidh dancing can be.
