P6/7 worked extremely hard in the name of conservation today – digging ditches. Supported by Richard English, Mrs Misselbrook and Mrs Hodge the class didn’t hesitate when faced with the challenge. Spades and shovels at the ready they made huge their own personal stamp on conservation in East Lothian.

Maths week in P2/3: Learning about the number 21 and Cubes on PhotoPeach
Number Crunching ‘Zero Hero’ flew into Sanderson’s Wynd for the launch of our Maths Week. We heard some amazing number facts and were challenged to find some more. The best will win a wee prize!
Zero Hero gave each class a shape and an envelope with their secret number. It will be interesting to find out what the nursery and P1-P7 classes do and learn about with these numbers and shapes.
Parents are invited to our Maths Week open day on Friday morning. Come along and learn something new in maths!

As part of our John Muir Award we used an atlas to find out all the places he visited in his many travels. He visited every continent except Antartica. In our groups we identified the places and we plotted them on a world map on the wall. We were impressed by how far he had travelled. We thought this was particularly amazing because he lived between 1838 and 1914 and it was hard to travel places back then compared to now!
As part of our John Muir Award we have been finding out about life cyles. We have caterpilars in the classroom that started no bigger than a few millimetres lomg and grew quickly to a few centimetres long. They have now all turned in to chrysalis and we can’t wait to see the butterflies when they emerge!!
We have made dens, followed an unnatural nature trail, played stealth and fox and rabbit. We have also found out about different types of trees and leaves in the forest.
Primary 7P are enjoying cricket training sessions delivered by volunteer cricketers from Tranent CC, Fiona Russell, Mark Anderson, Fiona Gilfillan and Aiden Hoenigmann. Most of us haven’t played cricket before and we are learning new skills. Take a look at some of our training photos:
