P1 – P7 pupils participated in a sponsored half marathon event and with the help from EiC events (the Edinburgh Marathon organisers) we achieved a whole school time of under 2 hours.
Well done to all our staff and pupils who took part and a big thank you to Mr Millar for organising the event.
We were learning to dribble with the ball and play games to improve our skills. Then we worked with partners to try to dribble the ball to each other. After that we played a game of cat & mouse. The cat had to run around the circle and get back to its space while the mouse had to try to steal the balls. At the end we had to play a match against each other. We had a great time and it showed us different ways to improve our fitness.
We had a great time making our Smoothies. We talked about how healthy they were to eat. We also used the bike to discuss what we had learned about forces and how they were moving the wheels and then the blade of the blender. Very yummy smoothies!!!
Well done on receiving your football trophy!
Following our Textile Workshop earlier in the year, Primary 4 have been asked to celebrate the completion of the project by visiting the Partnership Centre to view the final artwork. While there, they will take part in a short workshop and will be provided with refreshments. This will take place on Monday 17th June at 1.30pm – 2.30pm.
Our next ‘RAG BAG COLLECTION‘ is on Wednesday 19th June.
Through Rag Bag your are able to help recycle textiles and clothing that may have ended up going to landfill. It is estimated that approximately 1.75 million tonnes of clothing waste is produced in the UK every year.
Please support the school by adding any old items of clothing etc to our collection point. Our Rag Bag Collection Unit can be found on the grass pitch towards the school gates near leading to Main Street.

Some Nursery children visited the school this morning. They helped Mrs Rafferty with a job. We met some of the Primary 1 teachers on the way and stopped for a chat. The children were interested in the artwork on the walls and this generated lots of chat too.
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.
Today we had a fabulous Sports Day! The sun shone and the children took part in many different activities.
We got to see all the hard work the children have been doing in P.E.
Well done!
