This afternoon we had an extra football training session from West Lothian community Association. This was great fun, learning new skills and having a game at the end.
Football session
Hockey taster session
Today we all had the chance to try out some hockey skills from Livingston Hockey Club. We practised lots of skills such as passing and tackling before a mini game. We had lots of fun and are looking forward to football this afternoon.
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 2
The children enjoyed a fun-filled, action packed day yesterday where they had a chance to participate in Bivi (den-building), obstacle course, initiative (problem solving tasks), axe throwing, archery, abseiling and finishing up with a camp-fire where we sang songs and toasted marshmallows. The children enjoyed all the activities and were all extremely tired by the end, so no late nights last night! One morning to go before we head back after lunch.
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 😁
Art Friday
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!
Canoeing activity day
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!
Aila’s achievements
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.
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!
