Can you help?
LOST JACKET
One of our P3 pupils jacket has gone missing. It is a khaki green North Face jacket. The pupil’s name is written on the label inside. Could we please ask that you double check that your child hasn’t brought it back home by mistake.
If found please hand in to the school office. Thank you 🙂
Hopscotch Performance
We are looking forward to welcoming Hopscotch to our school on Monday 2nd September to perform their new show ‘SPRING-Y’ to our P1-7 pupils.
This adventurous tale will show how friendship and bouncing back from adversity can be supported in Scottish schools. ‘SPRING-Y’ will be an amazing way to support our schools resilience message.
‘SPRING-Y’ is a touching tale about friendship, bouncing back and bending with the wind! It follows the story of Ash and Holly who have been best friends for years but now Holly has to move away. How will the two cope without each other? Together they come up with a plan so that their friendship will last forever.

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.
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!
East Calder Primary Half Marathon Success
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.
