Today the P6H children were creating patterns using two lines of symmetry. They were using double sided counters to learn about the concept and also created some designs on the Promethean board.

P6H Class Election
Last week the P6H class were learning about elections and held their own election. The winning party was the BA party lead by Josh with 48% of the votes. The party has 5 key policies which are:
- Stop starvation
- Help the homeless
- Give free food, transport and clothes to the homeless
- Everyone is equal
- Not start up trouble
Our ‘Class Minister’ is looking forward to carrying out his duties.
P3
P3 have been working so hard learning to play the recorder this term! We have even managed to get to grips with ‘Jingle Bells’ and put on a fabulous performance for the Year 2 pupils today!
I have a fantastic video to share but I cannot upload it to Twitter or the Blog due to the file size (despite making a shorter version today). If there any tech wizards out there please help!
Winter 2019/20 Respiratory Illness
Please read the following information provided by NHS Lothian to reduce the spread of respiratory illness.
The main symptoms being reported include:
– Fever
– Cough
– Sore throat
– Muscle aches
– Sore tummy
– Cold/Flu like symptoms
– headache
These symptoms are consistent with respiratory viral illnesses such as the common cold, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza. Respiratory viruses are spread by breathing in droplets produced when a person coughs or sneezes. You can also catch the virus by touching the surfaces that the droplets have landed on if you pick up the virus on your hands and then touch your nose or mouth.
Key advice for parents and carers in the home the risk of catching or spreading flu/cold like illness can be reduced by:
- Regular hand washing with liquid soap and running water
- Covering nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing
- Using a disposable paper tissue, disposed of immediately after use.
- You can teach your child to sneeze into the ‘crook’ of their arm rather than their hands, if they don’t have a tissue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQINuSTP1jI
- Good general cleaning of surface that everyone touches often e.g. TV remote, light switches, door handles, toilet flushes and tap heads.

Children should not return to school until completely well and 48 hours after symptoms have ceased.
