Today our creativity hour was designing word art! We were working online with the National Galleries of Scotland and two fabulous industry experts-Lorna and Liz. They talked about exploring different artwork and the use of communication and words. We then created our own word art to display around the school and even one on a small paper towel!
Lots of positive and inspiring messages of hope which uplift us! A brilliant piece of work from everyone.
Our favourite quotes!
Primary 5-7 had an adventurous day yesterday canoeing in the Union canal with Ian, from Excite leisure. Lots of new canoeing skills were practised and we even had time for a few water games too!
At the weekend, Aila won 6 rosettes in her pony competitions with Doodles. We are all very proud of Aila and she feels great about this achievement.
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!
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.

Maths; Building, Thinking Classroom activities this week.
We are participating in the local Hobby Craft, Easter Bonnet competition. Some fabulous designs have been created and we can’t wait to hand them in to the shop for judging.
This morning P5-P7 were working in random groups playing a game of reasoned rounding. Lots of collaboration and Math Talk Moves strategies within each group.
This week P5-7 had the chance to train up in leading their own lunch time club. During session 1 we explored the skills we would need to be able to organise a games club and we talked about the different sports we might like to play. Next week it is an outside active school’s session.
During Outdoor Learning we created our own design of our favourite book using only natural materials. We are also very proud of our new Bike shed!
Last Thursday the P5-7 enjoyed a visit to West Lothian College with other cluster schools. We had the opportunity to participate in 2 sustainability events led by the coaches and students in the college. Our first event was sports and Handball! Then in the afternoon we participated in a climate change workshop with lots of super discussion and videos. The sun shone for us all day, meaning we could picnic lunch outside and play in the college campus! Thank you to Caroline Jarvis, the lecturers and students for our invitation to this event.
