Today the P7 class went to a food event which was held in Livingstone Football Club.  They watched a chef demonstrate how to cook mussels and mackerel, made smoothies, watched a barista make coffee and tasted lots of other freshly cooked items such as pasta, scones and bread.  The children also gathered lots of career information about careers they may enter into linked with the food industry.

On Wednesday the P7 class took a trip to Sky Skills Studio in Livingston to make a 6 minute TV report called Mind, Body and Sport. The children had to work as a team and developed their skills such as self management, creativity and problem solving.

This week the P7s helped their buddies every day at lunchtime to support them with settling in and learning the routines connected with the dinner hall.  On Friday the children also had their first buddy session and worked in groups to listen to the P1 children talk about their ‘Marvellous Me’ boxes.

Welcome back to all the P7 children after a lovely summer break.  The class has displayed excellent behaviour all week and has set a good example to others across the school.  The P 7s helped their buddies at break time this week to settle in to Uphall Primary and all did a good job.  Keep up the great work P7!

Today was the last practice for the drummers in P5/6 and the P6 children from P6/7 as they prepare to set a new World Record tomorrow in Livingston Football Stadium using the African Djembe drums, Doum-Doums, Khasheeshis (sic) and Ghana Bells. 900 children will be attempting to set a new World Record!   You will probably be able to hear us if you listen out about 10am!!!

We are so excited about it! We’ll let you know how we get on tomorrow!
