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. 
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
It was lovely to see so many of our Primary 7 pupils today for their transition event. Here is a copy of your video message from all of the staff at ECPS to wish you luck moving on to High School to share with your families.
Good morning everyone!
As this is our last week I had promised you in class that we would have a fun week of experiments. The biggest request was Elephant’s Toothpaste so I will make this at home this week and I will post the video on the blog and Teams after!
Are there any fun experiments you have wanted to do at home or in school? Now is your chance! Rubber egg? Bottle rocket? Giant square bubble? Exploding volcano? Egg parachute? Dancing Raisins?
There are lots of great ideas here to try too:

Share your experiments with me on Teams or email them into school.
Have fun (and stay safe!)

Good morning everyone,
For PE this week, we will be taking part in the Youth Sport Trust’s National Sports Week. There are five different categories of activities and challenges. You can pick what categories and what activities you take part in. I recommend doing at least one activity a day as well as getting outside for walks, jogs, cycles or scoots.
I love seeing your learning so don’t forget to let me know how you got on.
Mr. Millar
This week Primary 6 and 7 pupils will participate in our Digital Careers Fayre event as part of their home learning grid activities. Over the last few weeks our parents, families and friends have shared with us their wonderful responses to our Careers Fayre video request. A huge thank you to all who participated and shared information about their job, providing the pupils with a wonderful range of information from different career paths. Here is the link to our SWAY presentation:

PE Daily Challenge – Day 33
Today's @GWR asks… how many keepy uppys can you do with a toilet roll in just 30 seconds? If it drops to the floor, you lose your score. ⚽️🧻#WLHWBathome #achieving pic.twitter.com/DAF3xW71Qw

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be blasted into space? Did you manage to catch a glimpse of the Space X rocket heading to the International Space Station 2 weeks ago? Did you watch the launch live? It was very exciting!
Now imagine you are an astronaut on board the ISS. Your task is to make it to the on-board escape pod, but first you need the code to enter. Can you solve the 14 puzzles to crack the code?
Click this link to open the web-page with the puzzles. Scroll down and you will find 14 questions. Answer them all to complete your code for the escape pod.

Let me know if you manage to escape! Send an email to school or tag me on Teams!
Good luck astronauts!
