Primary 5b have had an extremely busy day today!

First we visited Tesco this morning to learn about sustainability. When we arrived we discussed what sustainability is and looked at the things we need in order to live. Then we looked at logos that represent companies, in particular Scottish food and drinks logos.

After our break we were split into 2 groups to go onto the shop floor. One group went to look at the fruit and where it comes from. We found a few that came from South America and we were allowed to taste them. We all had different opinions of what we did and didn’t like!

The other group went to find products that come from Scotland before being shown round the back of the shop floor. We even visited the freezer and chiller sections!!

We swapped over so we all saw and did them same things.

After lunch we had drumming practice where we had to learn all the rhythms and parts we need to play in order to be the world record for drumming in June at Livingston Football Stadium.

We have had great today fun today and have learnt so much but we are exhausted!!!

All Primary 5’s participating in the Swimming Assessment tomorrow (Wednesday 11th May) must remember to bring their swimming kit – towel, swimming costume/shorts, hairbrush and goggles/cap if they wish.

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.
