In nursery over the past few weeks we have been learning about Autumn and have made an Autumn display for our wall. The children went for an Autumn walk and then began the display. We had a visit from the Owl Centre which the children really enjoyed. We had fun making Hallowe’en pictures  and Firework pictures and this led on to learning about the Festival of Lights known as Diwali. The children made some Rangoli pattern pictures and Diya candles some of which are displayed in the nursery cloakroom.

Today all the P7 children took part in a cluster basketball festival at Broxburn Academy.  Teams were there from all the cluster schools and each child played in 3 short games.  Well done to all.

Primary 5/6 have been making sure that everyone keeps safe on Bonfire night and we hope you had a good one! We made fireworks safety posters and here are a few examples for you. We hope you enjoy them and we hope they keep you safe on Bonfire Night. 

There has been great excitement in class this week-we discovered a trail of golden Elf Dust in class on Monday and a very special letter from Ernie the Elf.  Our new topic is ‘Toys of the Past and Present’ and Ernie is going to send us weekly tasks associated with our topic.  The children are eagerly awaiting their next letter from Ernie!

Our ‘Helping Hands’ topic is now finished, the children loved learning about the important jobs people do to help us.  We were very lucky to have paramedics, a fire fighter,  a school crossing supervisor, a teacher and a lunch hall spervisor in our classroom telling us about the job they do.  The children had lots to ask and developed their questioning skills in the process!  A huge thank you to all involved from everyone in P1M.

We are now well on the way to reaching our third set of fifty tokens.  The class reward for achieving our second set of fifty tokens was to bake in class-a unanimous vote!!

We had a Judo demonstration in school on Monday, the children watched on in amazement as children were able to throw grown-ups to the floor! Letters about Judo club will be in school bags tomorrow.

Apaologies in advance-we have started to learn songs for the Christmas Nativity!

Don’t be surprised if your child starts speaking in French-we have started to learn some basic vocabulary.

à bientôt!

Well done to all the children in the P6/7 class who performed brilliantly today in their class assembly.  The children shared their learning from Term 1 and spoke about their trip to the Sky Academy Skills Studio.  They also showed their 6 minute TV report that they made all about fairness in sport.
