Lunchtime Clubs

We are currently running a couple of lunchtime clubs. Children do not need to sign up for these clubs they can simply pop along at 12.45 after their lunch.

  • Tuesday- Primary 5 Netball (with Mr Millar in the hall)
  • Wednesday- Primary 6 and 7 Netball (with Mr Millar in the hall)
  • Thursday (fortnightly)- Homework Grid Club (with Mrs Lewis in the library)

After the October holiday we will also be running a Choir again with Miss Melaisi and Miss Beattie on a Monday lunchtime as well as beginning to offer our after school clubs.

Thank you, Primary 5!

Just a wee note from Mrs Hearne, Mrs Sandison, Mr Millar, Miss Beattie and Mrs Campbell to say thanks to all our fabulous P5 children who attended camp at Lendrick Muir last week.

They all conducted themselves beautifully, with most children listening well, following instructions and remembering their manners. We also saw many children showing great resilience, whether through attempting a challenging activity or overcoming a wee bit of homesickness at bed time!

All of the P5 parents and carers can be very, very proud – well done, P5s!

We hope your child is looking forward to their adventure at Lendrick Muir. You should have all the information you need and a copy of the activity timetable and kit list. Please ensure we have accurate information about any medical or dietary needs your child may have. If you require any further information or have any questions please contact Mrs Donnelly at the school.

P7 Improving gender balance and equalities

Today P7 welcomed Fiona Shaw  who is a Development Officer for Education Scotland. Her role is to work with schools to ensure everyone has equality of opportunity, particularly with careers and subject choice. We engaged with a variety of tasks which raised our awareness of stereotypes . There was a lot of thought provoking conversations which really made us all think about unconscious bias. Many thanks to Fiona for joining us.

Crowning of the Gala Queen

On Friday evening 2 of our groups of pupils performed for the newly crowned East Calder Gala Queen. Up first were our choir, who are becoming seasoned performers now, with their lovely upbeat summer song. Secondly our newly formed Primary 6 and 7 dance group took to the stage to dance. This was their first performance and they were fantastic!
Well done to all children who participated- it takes a lot of courage to perform to such a large audience.

      

P7S 20th Century Artefacts

As part of our current context 20th Century Highlights P7S were fortunate enough to have a visit from Mrs Liddell from West Lothian Council Museum Service. She brought with her a whole range of 20th Century artefacts for us to handle. Maureen brought in items from each decade,some of them with a little discussion we could work out what they were…some we had no idea! Mrs Stewart felt very old when Mrs Liddell showed the class a Walkman and a Polaroid camera from the 1980’s…these are now classed as history!
