Look at this amazing piece of art created by one of our P7 pupils at East Calder Primary School! The pupils in P7 studied different famous artists. This masterpiece was inspired by Picasso. Well done – what a talent !

Learning in P1
Primary 1 made a fantastic effort taking part in the half marathon. We managed two laps and loved our medals and goodie bags! Well done.
We hope you enjoyed our Sun, Moon and Stars assembly as much as we did!!!
Our very busy Free Flow was a huge success – thanks to everyone who came along.
P4 Half Marathon
We were very energetic this morning and completed our 4 laps of the field as our part of the half marathon. It was great fun. Some of us even joined Mr Millar at break and ran some more!
JUPITER ARTLAND
Some more photo’s from Thursday’s visit from Jupiter Artland. The buddies joined in, which the children were delighted with.
JUPITER ARTLAND VISIT THE NURSERY
Jupiter Artland visited the Nursery
Jupiter Artland visited this week and the children had the opportunity to make their own models from clay. They collected natural materials to use from the wooded area in the school grounds. The children were all very excited as their buddies accompanied them during this experience. More photo’s to follow from Thursday’s visit.
P4S
We have been exploring magnets and forces and now are working collaboratively to design a game that shows our learning. We will then create a power point to share our knowledge with the rest of the class.
Sharing Learning in Primary 5
A huge thank you to all of the parents, carers, friends and relatives who came along to Primary 5’s Sharing the Learning afternoon today. It was great to see such a big turnout, especially on a dark and rainy afternoon! We shared a variety of activities, including making nets of 3D shapes, assembling a skeleton, Powerpoint research presentations and dressing up as Burke and Hare, to name but a few…The children had a great afternoon and Miss Jamieson and Mrs Campbell have enjoyed reading all of the lovely positive comments you wrote – thanks once again for coming.
Visit to Primary 1
While Primary 1 children were out on their trip last week, we had a last minute opportunity to take some pre-school children up to the primary 1 class for a visit. They enjoyed playing in the classroom and listening to a story being read by Mrs Donnelly.
The transition for pre-school children will be happening in the next few weeks. Please check the parents board in the cloakroom for more details.

P7/6C Homework
Primary 7/6C have been working on an Island project as part of their homework this term. In week 1 they designed their own Island with either a map or model showing key landmarks and features of the island. Some children even used computer software to design their 3D Island while others completed detailed drawings with a description and a key. Here are some of the finished Islands:
Week 2 asked pupils to complete a piece of imaginative writing explaining how their character arrived on the Island! We enjoyed sharing these stories and diary entries with the class demonstrating their use of descriptive and emotive language.
P1 Parent Information Evening
Primary 1 Information Meeting for Parents/Carers
We are looking forward to welcoming our pre-school parents/carers to our school on Tuesday 28th May at 6.00pm. We are delighted that your child will be starting Primary 1 at East Calder Primary in August. We hope that our Information Evening will provide you with all the information you require and that any questions you have will be answered.
Our Information Evening will begin with a presentation which will outline the arrangements for your child starting Primary 1 in August. It will also give you some practical ideas about how you can help your child get ready for the transition to school. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for parents/carers to visit the P1 classrooms and meet the Primary 1 teachers. For anyone who would like it, there will also be an opportunity to have a tour of the school.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evening!
