Primary 5 have been learning about John Muir and have been looking at nature in our local area. We went on a nature walk in the rain! We had great fun and enjoyed collecting lots of natural objects.
We found a variety of leaves, sticks, berries and insects.
In P1/2 We enjoyed sampling some of autumns most popular foods. The children discussed harvest and tasted some lovely red apples, juicy green pears and a delicious pumpkin.
We held a vote and decided that the apples were by far the tastiest!

P7 began their link up with Edinburgh College today.
They took parts in a TEAMS meeting where they interacted with the college lecturers and learned how bridges are built so that they are strong and durable. They then got the chance to build their own bridges and test them over the ‘drop of doom’ to see how much weight they could hold. Four bridges managed to hold 1kg showing that P7 has taken on board what they had been told during the TEAMS meet.
P2 explored symmetry further this week by going outside to make symmetrical pictures using natural items. Our class mini topic is ‘Autumn,’ so we used conkers, leaves and cones collected by the class to make our creations, just in time before the rain started.
We all enjoyed a spooky Hallowe’en themed lunch on Thursday. Mrs Smith kindly decorated the dining hall and we enjoyed listening to a Hallowe’en playlist as we ate the delicious lunch!
P1s have been working hard this week writing numbers and practising letter formation on whiteboards.
We always have fun on a Wednesday when Ricky comes to teach us different games. This week we were outside and inside playing games!
Primary 4B had a fun time at Murieston Park with Ricky our Active School coordinator.
We have started to learn our initial sounds and have enjoyed discovering new ways to work on our motor skills, which will help us for our letters correctly. Some children are beginning to blend these sounds and read and create words all by themselves!
P1/2 have been learning all about repeated patterns in class. We had a go at making our own. We are really good at making sure we follow the colour patterns we create.
