Outdoor Learning in P5/6
Today we took our spelling outdoors and used the playground and chalk instead of our jotters. We also gathered some natural resources and used them to create our spelling words.
In Art we took advantage of the sunny weather and used shadows to create an image on our paper.
Some of the class participated in the West Lothian Triathlon event involving a swim, cycle and run. Well done!

Halloween in P5/6
In groups we worked on a task that looked at Halloween from different perspectives. The tasks involved us doing a little research, a little writing, a bit of mathematical calculation and a lot of listening and talking within our group. Here are some photos of our hard work, which is now displayed proudly in the upper school shared area.
Spelling Fun!
Today we played with our spelling words. We worked in small groups and worked out ways to represent our words using pictures and images, this will help us remember how to spell our words correctly.
Here are some examples:
Word = goat
The word was split into go and at, the guys drew a traffic light for ‘go’ and a cat, with the ‘c’ scored out for ‘at’. Well done, really creative (the drawing is on the board!).
Word = Mummy
The image used was of an Egyptian mummy! Great imagination!
Word = retrain
The guys drew a picture of Reamass ( she said she felt famous!!!) and then removed part of her name leaving the ‘re’ and then added a picture of a train! Great work!
Word = rocking
What great imaginations this group had, they used the image of Rocky the boxer (complete with boxing ring), they then removed the ‘y’ leaving the word rock. The next part of the word was represented with an ink bottle with the ‘k’ removed and a ‘g’ added.
