Thank you to everyone who managed to add some items to our recycling unit for the Rag Bag Collection last week. Your help is much appreciated 🙂

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.

NURSERY TRIP 2019

We had a fantastic time on our first family trip. We went to Almond Valley Heritage Centre for the day. The wet weather didn’t stop the children from having lots of fun with their family and friends, splashing around in the puddles, visiting the animals, jumping on the trampolines, digging in the sand and exploring all the new outdoor adventures.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our families for their continued support throughout the year and wish the nursery leavers all the very best in their new adventures at school.

Have a fantastic summer, hopefully with lots of sun!

We will look forward to seeing our nursery returners in the new term.

House Point Winners 2018-2019

House Point Winners 2018-2019

The house points for this school session have been counted and the overall winners are….. CALDERHALL. Well done!

If your child is in Calderhall House they will receive their ‘house treat’ on Thursday afternoon (27th June). The house treat this year is a DVD in the hall with a small snack provided for them. If your child would like they can bring in a small blanket/cushion or cuddly in with them on Thursday to take to the hall for the DVD.

It was very close so well done to all our pupils on receiving so many house points throughout the year for their effort, positive attitude and behaviour in school.

Primary 7 Leaver’s Treat

What a week for Primary 7 last week! Due to their fantastic fundraising skills all pupils raised enough to cover the cost of their party! The evening was a huge success (even Miss Conner and Mrs Stewart had a bounce).

They were well and truly spoilt with an hour of play, hot dogs or pizza and lots of sweet treats too! Despite all the energy used on Wednesday night they still managed to pull off two outstanding performances in their Leaver’s Assembly on Thursday!

Well Done P7!

Creating New Games in P5J

Today Primary 5J had a fantastic day in the sun. Last week, we took our learning about instruction writing and created our own new games as part of our Health learning. Today, every child taught a short lesson about their game. We then evaluated their instructions and provided them with Stars and Wishes. We will be putting all of our fantastic ideas into a book to provide pupils and staff with different games that they can play!

NURSERY SPORTS DAY

The sun was shining on Tuesday for our Morning Sports Day. The children had great fun and were all stars! Thank you to all the families that came along to cheer their children on, we appreciate your continued support.

We are looking forward to our Afternoon Sports Day on Thursday at 2pm. Photo’s of this will follow.

P4 visit to Partnership Centre

On Monday all the Primary 4’s went to the Partnership Centre in East Calder to celebrate the completion of the Artwork being displayed. Back in November we were asked to take part in the design process with artists from Bespoke Atelier. We helped them by discussing and designing our own bags which were used as inspiration. The artwork has now been installed in the Centre and we were given the opportunity to view it and share in some refreshments.

Health week in P2C

P2C had an amazing health week with lots of exciting activities. We were involved in sports day, cycling with our smoothie bike, playing rugby and learning football skills! A very busy week.
