P3’s Christmas Learning

Leave a reply

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.

In IDL, Primary 4/5 have been learning about the landscapes and features of Scotland. We explored the Northern Lights and used photos taken in Scotland as inspiration for our chalk pastel artwork. The results are very effective!

P7 & P6/7 – Happy Place Workshop with SAINT PHNX

Leave a reply

Primary 7 and Primary 6/7 recently took part in the Happy Place Workshop, an inspiring program led by the Scottish band SAINT PHNX. This workshop, based on the band’s song Happy Place, focuses on mental well-being, creativity, and finding joy in everyday life. Through music, personal reflection, and interactive activities, P7 explored ways to discover their own “happy place”– whether through art, nature, mindfulness, or connecting with loved ones. It was a fantastic experience that encouraged resilience, positivity, and self-expression.

A Fun-Filled Visit to the Local College! 🎨🌿

Leave a reply

Primary 2/3 had the exciting opportunity to visit West Lothian college last week, to take part in a fantastic play-based and outdoor learning experience.
The children had a brilliant time exploring the college’s playroom, getting creative with Halloween-themed crafts and artwork, and enjoying lots of fun outdoor activities. Their enthusiasm and imagination were on full display throughout the morning!
A big thank you to the college students who looked after our children so well. They provided a warm, supportive environment and gained valuable hands-on experience to support their own learning and development.
It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved — we’re already looking forward to the next visit!

P4/5’s Roman Feast

Leave a reply

Through our recent learning we have been finding out about the Romans.

We looked this week at Roman foods and were shocked at some of the items they would have on their feast menus – can you imagine eating peacock, tongue or dormice!

We created our own Roman Feast menus with a variety of foods we thought we might like to try.

Today we had our very own Roman feast with a variety of foods to try, some we were a bit apprehensive of but we all tried some new foods today and are very proud of ourselves!

Victorian Inventions in P5/6

Leave a reply
P5/6 have been learning about Victorian inventions this week and had a go at being Victorian detectives. We had a look at some objects from Victorian times and tried to guess what they might be used for. We then looked online at photos from a Victorian museum to find out if we were correct.

Digital Victorian Rugs

Leave a reply
This week Primary 6 were learning about the importance of rugs in the Victorian Era.
We learned that the more detailed rug you had, then the more stylish your home was!
We planned our rugs first using a grid, trying to include as much detail as possible.
After that, we recreated our rugs digitally using a mosaic app!

P6 have enjoyed learning about the Romans. This week we explored the Roman army uniform, we were surprised at how heavy and uncomfortable it was to wear! We each chose an item of clothing to investigate further, using our research skills to help us.
