To promote Book Week Scotland and to help raise funds for nursery we are holding a book sale at Nursery this week.
This is set up in the cloakroom area of the Nursery.
Please support the Nursery by purchasing a book or two which can be used to read at home or use as part of the ‘Look for a Book’ initiative. The money raised will benefit your child by either purchasing new books or equipment.
Many thanks
We are relaunching our bedtime reading initiative during Scotland Book Week this week. You will find this set up in the reception area of the Nursery. These are a set of 5 books for you and your child to borrow and share at home as part of their bedtime routine.
The Big Bedtime Read’s aim is to ensure children read a bedtime story at least 4 or more times a week.
You and your child will have access to our Big Bedtime Read packs whenever you wish. You are free to change your pack at any time. All we ask is that you record the pack you have borrowed by writing your child’s name and the date you take the pack, in the lending folder.
We hope you take the opportunity to borrow the packs and take advantage of this activity which will greatly benefit your child by
Well done to Primary 7/6L who came 5th in the West Lothian Sumdog contest last week with a fabulous score of 717. A great effort at home and in school.
We are looking forward to welcoming our parents/carers to our Primary 1 Reading Event on Wednesday 20th November at 9.00am. Please access the hall via the doors from the quad playground. After a short presentation in the hall with Mrs Donnelly, parents/carers will join their child in their classroom to participate with some literacy activities. Primary 1 children will be gifted with their ‘Bookbug Bag’ on Wednesday also. We hope they enjoy reading the stories at home.
As part of this week’s homework grid we had to design and build a firework. Here are some of our creations.

This week we worked together to build actual models from instructions. We learned about working together and cooperating through Lego.
Today we came into school wearing odd socks. We raised money for charity.
We thought about what bullying is and how it can make other people feel.
We had great fun completing our challenges today. We were trying to build houses and street scenes. One had a bank which had eight levels of security while another house came with a pond in it’s garden!
Primary 7/6L had an excellent workshop yesterday looking at the importance of Remembrance Day and Armistice Day. We learnt all about the Poppy and why it is a symbol of Remembrance. We also learnt a lot about World War 1. Alan Hamilton from the Royal British Legion visited our class yesterday to share with us his wealth of knowledge and personal experience in the armed forces and of East Calder Primary School and local area as a former pupil himself. Not only has Alan served in the army but he shared with us the experiences of both his great uncle who fought during World War 1 and his father who fought during World War 2. After lunch we learnt all about local people from East Calder who had been soldiers during the war and visited East Calder Cemetery to lay poppy crosses. Before leaving Alan shared with us the wonderful story of his Uncles army whistle he was given in 1916! What a journey his whistle has had! A very valuable learning experience yesterday which taught us all the importance of Remembrance Day.
