My name is Pedro Martins, and I’m one of the coaches for the Livingston Community Football 2016 team.
We’re excited to announce that we’re moving to 7-a-side matches and are looking for new players to join our team!
Team sports offer numerous benefits for children, including:
- Building Strong Relationships: Fostering friendships and teamwork.
- Improving Social Skills: Enhancing communication, cooperation, and leadership.
- Improving Physical and Mental Health: Promoting physical activity and boosting overall well-being.
- Teaching Resilience and Perseverance: Overcoming challenges and learning from setbacks.
- Improving Self-esteem and Confidence: Building self-belief and a sense of accomplishment.
- Enhancing concentration and memory: Improving focus and cognitive function.
We believe that participating in team sports is a valuable experience for young people.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could share the attached image with the parents of your school through a group call, informing them about our team and inviting interested players to join.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kind regards, Pedro Martins
This term, our clan has been transported back in time! Primary 5 have been delving into the days of the Scottish Wars of Independence, while Primary 4 have been uncovering the rich local history of our area with Miss Small and Mrs Scobie.
As part of our exploration of the Scottish Wars of Independence, Primary 5 have been learning about the lives of knights. We were captivated by the significance of heraldry, learning how the colours and symbols on a shield could tell a story about a knight’s family, values, and achievements. Inspired by their discoveries, the clan worked together in groups to design and create their own shields. Each team carefully selected colours and symbols to reflect their unique qualities.
Yesterday, we turned our attention to the beauty of Scots language as the pupils took part in our Scots poetry recital. We were absolutely blown away by everyone’s efforts! Each performer memorised their chosen poem with incredible skill, demonstrating clear pronunciation, expressive actions, and a deep understanding of Scots words.
After the recital, the class held a secret ballot to choose their stage winners. The room buzzed with excitement as votes were counted, and cheers erupted as the winners were announced. We are now eagerly looking forward to seeing how our stage winners get on at the Calderwood Scots Poetry Recital next week. We know they’ll do themselves and our clan proud!

Please find a social story that you can use with your nursery child to support them with the nursery closure tomorrow and the adverse weather conditions.
This morning, Leven and Rannoch Clans came together to share their learning with their families and the rest of the school community through their Clan Connects.
The children told us all about Resilience and Growth Mindsets and the importance of thinking positively. They did an amazing presentation and we are so proud of each and every one of our learners.
Leven and Rannoch Clans then spent some time with their adults, sharing more of their learning from the year so far.
Thank you to all parents and carers who were able to come along to support Leven and Rannoch Clans this morning.
On Friday morning, all pupils across the school came together in their House groups for our first House Meeting of 2025!
Following on from our Connects on values, the pupils looked at each value and discussed what they might look like, sound like and feel like.
It was great to hear pupil voice and see our values of Caring, Integrity, Resilience and Belonging in action.
