In P6/7 we were given  a task to make an animation about something of our choice.  Using a camera and tri-pod and you could bring in your own props.  We were split into groups of 3.  We all had different ideas and you had to put the pictures that we had taken on the camera onto the computer and we go into a special app that combines the pictures and makes it look like it’s moving.  It’s really fun!

Congratulations to P6/7 for taking part in the West Lothian Maths Contest and doing really well.  Out of 816 pupils that took part Cameron and Blair finished in the list of top ten players.  The class as a whole was also the competition daily winner on Tuesday.  Keep up the excellent mental maths P6/7!

Today the class went outside for a Science experiment linked to the topic of Air Resistance.  We were testing to see what the effect of running with an umbrella open and shut would have on our speed over a set distance.  Our results showed that the air resistance slowed us down by approximately a second as we ran.  It was great fun.

Today the Primary 6/7 class took part in a Singing Workshop which was run by a member of the Howden Park Centre.  The children enjoyed developing their skills and techniques relevant to singing and performing.
