P6 – Learners Leading Learning

I was delighted to receive this message by email today from our P6 class. Our school are working on developing reading skills and we have purchased some puppets to help the younger pupils understand the skills we are learning about. Our pupils in P6 have come up with the great idea of creating videos to help introduce the younger pupils to the skills they are learning about and using in their reading. I’m looking forward to seeing how the videos turn out! Well done P6 for a great idea – another example of our young learners leading learning in ECPS 🙂

Children In Need Day – Friday 13th November 2020

East Calder Primary School is supporting Children In Need Day by inviting pupils and staff to wear something sporty and/or spotty to school on Friday 13th November.

Any donations for this charity will be much appreciated 🙂  P7 pupils will collect donations on the day.

 

Wearing face coverings

Following on from the new guidance issued, face coverings will be worn by adults in school when they are in communal areas shared with pupils.

We ask that parents and carers still continue to wear face coverings when collecting children from the school grounds. Thank you for your support.

London Mini Marathon Challenge

We did it!

A massive congratulations to all the pupils for completing this challenge. The children showed determination and resilience while running their laps. Some individuals where even able to go beyond 2.6 miles!

Each class was presented with a certificate to keep in their room as a reminder of their achievement.

Well done!

 

 

Maths Week P7S A webinar on 3D shapes and their properties

P7S had fun this morning creating their own 3D origami modular shapes whilst following instructions on a webinar. Japan is our current context so the link to cross curricular tasks allowed us to encompass a range of outcomes. The class had to listen very carefully to each sequential instruction, other skills they demonstrated were resilience and certainly perseverance. It was great to see teamwork coming into play with our origami experts sharing their knowledge with some of their peers and teacher!! We reinforced our knowledge of shape vocabulary using terms such as nets,vertices,parallel and faces and this was brilliantly times as our next context in Maths is shape. I am sure we will all be experts now. Well done P7S a great effort.

 

London Mini Marathon Challenge

This week, classes are taking part in the London Mini Marathon Challenge. It involves jogging or running 2.6 miles across two weeks from the 28th of September until Friday the 9th of October. In PE, students have been developing their stamina and the Mini Marathon is a great opportunity for them to apply their knowledge and embrace the challenge.

Please check back after the 9th to see how the classes got on!

(Please note that we are not completing this challenge as a fundraising event just for fun!)

Farewell Mrs O’Neill

After many years as a Nursery Nurse at ECPS Mrs O’Neill is now retiring. Some of us visited Mrs O’Neill today to hand over the many cards, gifts and pictures that have been handed in by both families and staff members.  She really was overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity.  I’m sure you would all join me in wishing Mrs O a very long and happy retirement. 

 

 

 

Well done in PE

Thank you for all your hard work completing all the PE tasks during home learning. Although it wasn’t the normal Health Week,  Sports week and East Calder Marathon, I am so proud of how you accepted the challenge of PE home learning.

I hope that you have an active and fun summer. I can’t wait to see you in August and hear all about your summer adventures.

Mr. Millar
