Our nursery children have been enjoying our larger block play space which is now in the main foyer. There is plenty of space to allow children to build and create using the large blocks and loose parts stored in this area.
Although our nursery is a busy place, there are plenty of spaces to have some quieter play or simply enjoy a book or storytelling session.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….
Our nursery children and staff have been busy making the nursery look very festive. The children have been making decorations for their Christmas tree in nursery and enjoyed helping to decorate the tree. Lots of different items have also been made to sell at the Christmas Fayre this Saturday. Well done everyone – great effort 🙂
The Nursery children have had a little enterprise going over the past few weeks and have been working hard to make beautiful tree decorations and lot’s of other goodies to sell.
Please support the Nursery and School by coming along and enjoying a festive filled morning!
Home baking is required for our baking stall, please hand any donations to the school or nursery on Friday 13th. Many thanks.
We were delighted with the turn out to both our morning and afternoon Christmas Performances. Thank you for your ongoing support, it is very much appreciated and it makes all the hard work your children put in very worthwhile.  I’m sure you will agree they put on a great show and were all shining stars on the stage.
P5B haven’t just been working hard in math, literacy and their topic work…they have been busy making a craft to sell at the Christmas Fayre on Saturday! We are all really excited to show you what we have made. We still need to think of a price and we are going to design some eye catching posters to advertise our product!
Come along on Saturday 14th December from 10am-1pm to join in the Chrtismtas fun!
In maths we have been focusing on fractions. We have looked at fractions of shapes, equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions.
In P.E have been learning a few different Scottish Ceilidh dances, which has been very enjoyable.
In RME we have been learning about Christianity as it is important to learn about other religions; their beliefs and celebrations. We have looked at key Christian beliefs such as the Creation Story, the Ten Commandments and now the Christmas story (The Birth of Jesus).
Please see information from the East Calder Scout group about SANTA visits to East Calder and Calderwood!
Pupils in P7S enjoyed their Christmas lunch today! We were signing along to the music and some of us even chose to sing karaoke and tell jokes using the school microphone.
Afterwards we enjoyed making Christmas crafts in class while listening to music. We are having a lovely afternoon in class!
As part of the Titanic IDL, P5/4C were challenged to create a 3D model of a 1st, 2nd or 3rd class cabin from the ill-fated ship. Many pupils rose to the challenge with great enthusiasm and have shown some fantastic creativity and inventiveness in their designs.
Thank you to everyone (and their little helpers at home!) who took up the challenge – your cabins look amazing!
We have enjoyed doing drama with P5/4C and coming up with scenes based on our class novels and our topic which is all about the Titanic.
We have been able to experience working with different groups of people. We have also been experimenting with using different voices and movements to portray a character.
Today, we had to create a performance based on a scene from the book “The Titanic Detective Agency”. We just finished the novel today and we all loved it!
Through drama, we have been learning how to work collaboratively. As well as this, we focused on a number of listening skills and took part in some games to demonstrate the importance of listening. It’s been a busy week in P5B!
Remember to wear your Christmas pyjamas to school tomorrow!
