This week in P2 we have been busy creating for our East Calder project all about East Calder Main Street. We have been creating some of the businesses and houses you might see on the street. We have created leaflets all about what you might see on East Calder Main Street. We were lucky to have Dog’s Trust in to speak with us about how to take care of dogs and keep them happy as well this week. It was great!

This Week in P2
It has been a busy week back from the Easter holidays in P2. We have been working on capacity in maths and measuring different sizes of containers to see what they would hold. We played maths games in numeracy to continue working on our addition and subtraction skills and we have enjoyed working on our handwriting on the desks.
Primary 3 Learning
This week we worked with partners on our division. The calculations had missing numbers so we had to use our knowledge of family sums to work them out.
We started learning about Information Handling and made big pictographs showing our hair colour and then our eye colour. We then used the information to work out which colour was the most recorded and by how many more.
During Free Play some children have been playing barber shops and over the last few months have made a collection of razors. They spend their play taking turns to be the barber or the customer.
UNCRC – Silver Accreditation – Rights Aware
A huge well done and thank you to Miss Mannion and our Rights Respecting School Hub pupils, who today secured our Silver – Rights Aware award status. This is a fantastic achievement and we are all very proud.
Achieving this level means:
- We explicitly embed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in our policy, practice and culture.
- We promote knowledge and understanding of the Convention throughout our school community.
- We are seeing the positive impact of our actions on children and young people, staff, and on the school’s ethos, practice and environment.
- Our children see themselves as rights respecting global citizens and advocates for fairness and children’s rights, both locally and globally.
Digital Schools
We are absolutely delighted to be amongst some of the first schools in Scotland to achieve endorsement of our continuing excellence and development in digital learning and teaching!
