Library Visit

On Wednesday, P1-7 had the chance to visit West Calder Library as part of Book Week Scotland. The trip began with a reading of There’s a Snake in my School! by David Walliams, which the children thoroughly enjoyed.

They then had the opportunity to explore the library’s wide range of genres and books, browsing both fiction and non-fiction. The children spent time discussing their favourite types of books and sharing recommendations with one another. They also got creative by making crafts such as bookmarks and posters. To wrap up the visit, the children selected a book to borrow, which they can keep at school to read. Overall, it was a delightful trip, and the children enjoyed discovering and engaging with different books.

DNA HUNTERS PROJECT

Over the last two weeks P5-P7 have been enjoying working with DNA and chromosomes. They have been learning about scientific methods and role of researchers. The first challenge was to extract DNA from a banana using an experiment kit and working in partnership with students from Edinburgh University. Pupils are now working on scientific posters. Everyone is very excited about this science project and to find out who extracted the most DNA.
