This week has been relatively short  with a Monday holiday and staff Inservice on Thursday.  Four  P6 pupils, Kai, Jowita, Chloe and Katie went to represent the school in the Cluster KNEX challenge on Friday morning at Linlithgow Primary and achieved joint 3rd place – Well Done!

Here is a snapshot of some of our other learning this week.

Wiktoria – P6/7 helped out at the Superhero coffee morning where they practice their enterprise selling and money handling skills.

Abby – We completed our Tesco Art Competition entries where we had to be creative with the theme “Transportation” I chose to create a piece of art which showed Unicorn Island which you had to travel  to on a carrot.

Ryan – In Rugby P5 joined us as we practiced our passing skills and played sharks and fishes with Kyle and Andrew, coaches from Linlithgow Rugby Club.

Kai – I went to the KNEX challenge with our team. We had to create a wheelbarrow which would carry a brick and  then push the wheelbarrow over a course. The ladder of death was really tricky! We were proud of our efforts coming in joint third place with Torphichen.

Donnie  & Bobby – We were taking pictures for the nursery during their Assembly about Healthy Eating.  We felt that the nursery presented their assembly very well and were very focused and clear when speaking to a large audience. Well Done!

Jowita – We have been extending our writing skills through the use of similes and exploring ambitious openers.

This week was a short week at school but we still managed to get a lot done.
