In P4 Science, we have enjoyed learning about the Water Cycle. We created posters in groups to demonstrate our understanding of the processes involved in this.

SSPCA visit to P4
In P4, we were delighted to receive a visit from the SSPCA to help us learn about the work of the organisation and Scottish wildlife. We enjoyed the presentation and video, then had fun playing a game with a partner to learn some facts about different animals and birds. This visit will really help us with learning about living things in Scotland. Thank you SSPCA!
P4 Bonnie Scotland Topic
We have started our new P4 topic about Bonnie Scotland. We have developed our mapping skills locating places on a map of Scotland, begun learning Scottish poems, researched the famous Scot, Robert Burns and practised some Ceilidh dances. We are looking forward to learning more about our country and culture over the next couple of months. And we will be holding a P4 Burns Party soon!
P4 do Rabbie Burns Play-in-a-Day!
In P4 we were lucky enough to take part in a drama workshop day with Stacey and Cameron from One Day Creative. The title was Rabbie Burns, A Play-in-a-Day – and it was all about the life and works of Scotland’s National Poet, Robert Burns. Luckily we had already learned quite a bit about him and his poetry and songs, so we had lots of information to share. We all had a part to play in the show and we worked really hard to learn our lines and say them with expression. Remembering all the actions and directions wasn’t easy! We discovered there are lots of talented actors and actresses in P4! The highlight of the day was performing the play to an audience of other pupils and teachers. It was an amazing experience!
Tree Diagrams in P4
In P4 we are continuing with our Information Handling topic and had fun sorting and displaying information in tree diagrams. We did a few class examples which included questions about foods that we like and pets. We then had the chance to work in groups to make our own tree diagrams and survey our classmates.
Museum On the Mound
Primary 5b had a fantastic time at the Museum on the Mound in Edinburgh today, where we learnt a lot more about money.
We travelled to Edinburgh on the train from Livingston South and even survived the walk to and from the station through the wind and rain!!
We all completed 3 workshops about money – What is Money?, Making Notes and Heads & Tails. We learnt about all different types of currencies throughout the world like coco beans, shells and even tea leaves. We looked at coins and how they all have a heads and tails side with particular pictures on them. We also got to make our own coins! Lastly we learnt about notes and created our own paying particular attention to the security measures.
P5a Equality
Well done to all of P5a for the huge effort they put in for our assembly on Friday. It was a huge success delivering a very important value to the school. It was also well received by our very very important visitors from India. Well done. Here is our power point. Equality and Imagine Pictures
Equality Assembly in P3b
We had been working very hard in Primary 3b since returning from the holidays to get our assembly together, and successfully presented all of our learning on Friday’s assembly for Primary 1-3 and Parents and Carers who came to watch.
Our assembly was on the Value of the month for January which is Equality, and we spent time in class discussing what this meant and how we could tell everybody else about it.
We sang songs, read the story of Rosa Parks who fought for Equality, read an equality poem and told everybody about the inequality some children still experience around the world in a video we made. Mr Brice also helped us make a video about sharing smarties to see if Williamston pupils (and staff!) could share equally with each other.
We had lots of fun doing our assembly for our audience and Miss Robertson is very proud of how hard we have worked and how wonderfully we presented the assembly for everyone.
P2 and P2/1 Show Magic Grandad Their Toys.
There was lots of excitement this week when we brought our toys to school. Magic Grandad couldn’t believe all the different kinds of toys we have! We showed him how we can sort them in different ways. Why not tell a grown up at home how the toys were sorted? What happened to the toys that didn’t go in the hoops?
Mr Muldoon took us for P.E. and we learned lots of different ways to hold our body in gymnastics. Which was your favourite?
Have you been practising your Scottish poem at home? We will soon be reciting them in class!
Superhero Gadgets in P5
We have had great fun this afternoon making our superhero gadgets. We’ve learnt that most superheroes have gadgets to help them save the day! Here are our superhero gadgets, what do you think of them?
