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!
P7/6L Achievement

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.
