Talk Money Week 2024

This afternoon, we had our very first House Meetings in our four houses:
Fallow, Red, Roe and Sika.
Our Junior Leadership did a fantastic job introducing themselves properly to all of our houses and sharing more about themselves. The children then got the chance to speak to someone they didn’t already know, or find out something new about someone that they did know.
There was such a sense of belonging, particularly as the children wore their house colours.
We look forward to our next house meetings!
Last week, our P3-7 clans took part in Financial Education Sessions, kindly delivered by Money Advice Scotland.
These sessions looked at Introduction to Money, Budgeting for Events, and Banking and Borrowing.
The children thoroughly enjoyed these sessions and learning about such an important subject.
Please see the attached regarding a collection for West Lothian Foodbank.
Thank you for your support.
On Friday morning, Baird Clan 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 the Cost of the School Day and their important role in deciding how our Participatory Budget is spent. They did an amazing presentation and we are so proud of each and every one of our learners.
Baird Clan then spent some time with their adults, sharing more of their learning.
Thank you to all parents and carers who were able to come along to support Baird Clan on Friday morning.

Please see the attached flyer regarding the Open Evening at West Calder High School on 26th September.
We appreciate that the majority of our children will be at camp, and we have passed on this feedback to the High School.
Today, a number of our Muir and Mackintosh pupils took to the Arena in front of their houses – Fallow, Red, Roe and Sika – to present their ideas for House and Vice Captain.
The children worked so hard on their presentations and speeches and we are so proud of how well they all did this morning. The children from each house voted for who they wanted as their House and Vice Captains.
The votes were extremely close, but we now have our House and Vice Captains!
Well done to everyone involved, and thank you to parents/carers and champs who supported the children to go forward for this leadership opportunity.
