Highlights from our Leavers assembly
Well done to the upper class on a fabulous leavers show, Reach for the stars! The singing was super and everyone spoke very clearly and in role. A great way to finish off the term and demonstrate our talent in the arts, we wish our p7 pupils all the best in secondary school! We will miss you all at Woodmuir primary.
Royal Highland Show
We had a fun whole school visit to the RHS yesterday. It was a fantastic day out in the sunshine, getting to see the cattle, sheep, horses and much more. We also had the chance to try lots of different food and participate in fun activities from the exhibitors. At the end we had ice- cream and a play time in the park! Thanks to Ms Petrie for joining us on the trip and volunteering her time to help supervise the children, we all loved having you with us.
Lockerbie Camp Day 3
Our final day was filled with a handful of activities including Manor Olympics, Bivi and Initiative. In Manor Olympics, the children played a variety of different games including relay races where they had mini challenges to complete, wellie throws and even some teamwork games.
In our final sessions, Bivi and Initiative, the children used their problem solving skills to build dens and complete tricky challenges. We had such a fantastic experience and we are all excited to head home to tell everyone all the exciting things we got up to!
Lockerbie Camp Day 1
We arrived safely at Lockerbie yesterday afternoon around 2pm and the children all managed to get settled in quickly before getting organised into our groups for our first activity. Our first activities were climbing and axe throwing which the children all really enjoyed.
In axe throwing, the children had an opportunity to throw darts and an angel axe to score points!
In climbing, the children worked together to help their group make it to the top of the climbing frame. They worked hard to make it to the top and they all gave it a go which was amazing (even Miss Martin 😄).
After dinner, we had another activity where the children enjoyed the obstacle course and some abseiling! Although the abseiling looked scary, the children gave it a go and managed it well. The obstacle course was fun and the children loved getting muddy throughout the course!! We are up and early for another fun day ahead 😁
First week back!
A busy week in P1-P7. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break and are ready for the busy term ahead. This week we have been creating Funky Bunnies using line and pattern, developing our music skills with Limelight music and learning outdoors in the sunshine!
Easter service
It was lovely coming together with the whole school for the Easter service. The P5-P7 children re-told the Easter story and the P1-P3 children sang lots of cheerful songs. Well done to all the speakers and singers, a fabulous job! Thank you also to minister Mr Craig, who came along to say a few words and meet the parents.

Play at West Lothian College
Today we have had a fantastic morning at West Lothian College in their fabulous play area. The children got to be creative baking cupcakes, build with the blocks, create clay models, dance to the music, make bracelets, craft and participate in lots of imaginative play. We can’t wait to go back again for a visit to their sustainability activity week in March.
Italian lesson
This morning we had a special visitor in from West Calder High School. We had an Italian lesson full of fun games and lots of learning.
Celebrating Burns Day
On Friday, our classes came together to celebrate Burns Day with a fantastic assembly filled with Scottish culture, music and tradition. It was a wonderful tribute to Robert Burns and showcased the talents of our pupils. Both classes performed Scottish songs such as ‘The Jeely Piece Song’ and ‘Coulter’s Candy’, we heard various Burns poems read aloud which brought his famous words to life and we discussed the life of Robert Burns and the traditions of Burns Night, including the famous Burns Supper, complete with haggis, neeps and tatties!
To end the assembly, we all joined in a Scottish dance which was a fun and fantastic way to honour Burns’ influence and enjoy a bit of Scottish tradition together. A huge well done to everyone – ye did yersels proud!
