Today P6B travelled back in time to 1894 to experience a day at a Victorian school. We had lessons on the three “Rs”. We used slates and when our writing was neat enough we were allowed to use pen and ink. Most of us enjoyed having drill in the playground!
Both P6 classes have been learning about Judaism. One of the children brought in some Jewish artefacts and talked to the class about them. The children also made their own Menorah (a nine-candle candle holder) pictures.
Yesterday P4 attended the cluster benchball tournament at Broxburn Academy. Â The class had a fantastic time and showed true team spirit and sportsmanship. Â Well done to all the children who participated and represented the school in such a wonderful way.
Uphall Primary is working in partnership with The Brock Garden Centre to enhance children’s experiences of gardening and outdoor learning.
The Brock is a charitable organisation and social enterprise which supports adults with enduring mental health issues. They provide a variety of activities such as horticulture, woodworking and crafts with all monies raised being put back into the organisation to make it a sustainable enterprise. Tomorrow at our Christmas Fayre The Brock will be taking order for Christmas Wreaths. These wreaths will cost £20 for a 12″ wreath, with payment being taken tomorrow and collection dates provided.
Please help us to support our community partner by purchasing your Christmas wreath from them.
Last week Mrs Sutherland and Mrs Stevenson took the children on a lovely sunny walk to The Brock Garden Centre in Broxburn.
There were pink and yellow and blue flowers. There were daisies and they were yellow and white. We felt compost and it was cold because it had been out all night in the potting shed. We saw apples on the trees but they weren’t ready. We saw statues of animals and one was a badger. A badger can be called a brock and that is the name of the garden centre. We went in a greenhouse and saw spider plants and a plant called aloe vera which helps with sunburn in hot countries and it was jaggy to keep animals from eating it. The greenhouse was warm and there was a bit to water plants. Some plants grow from seeds and you water them.
