Here we are enjoying the books we bought on our trip to Waterstones in Livingston. We had a good discussion about why we chose the books and then we chose something we liked about the book to put into our Reading Passports. Mrs Sutherland has filmed us talking about our lovely new books, but she’s needing a bit of technical help to put it on the blog – watch this space!
Mrs Sutherland just loves it when she sees someone happily engrossed in a book. It happened today! Have a look at who I found filling in her First Minister’s Reading Challenge Passport with Peppa Pig!
This week our Friendly Dragon asked us to read Jack and the Beanstalk and build him a new beanstalk with lots of emotion words on it! We talked about what feelings to include and we made a decorated a leaf each! We think the dragon will LOVE our work!

The P7 class went on a school trip to Sky Skills Studio to create a 6 minute News Report called a ‘Healthy Lifestyle’. The children had the opportunity to use camera equipment worth £60,000 to film everything and edit their final product into a professional report. Some of the skills developed during the trip were communication, creativity, decision making and writing.
We have been finding out about life in Africa through the story of Handa’s Surprise. It has been great fun learning to play the African drums, make African necklaces and do some African dancing. It’s not as easy as it looks!
