We’ve had a very special visitor today going in and around all the classes at ECPS! We were delighted when Book Bug came to see us to help us celebrate Book Week. Some of us read him stories and others just wanted a big cuddle. Thank you Book Bug, we hope you come back to visit us next year!!
We are looking forward to welcoming our parents/carers to our Primary 2 & 3 Reading Event on Thursday 21st November at 9.00am. Please access the hall via the doors from the quad playground. After a short presentation in the hall with Mrs Donnelly, parents/carers will join their child in their classroom to participate with some literacy activities. Primary 2-3 children will be gifted with their ‘Read, Write and Count Bag’ on Thursday also. We hope they enjoy reading the stories and playing the games at home.

Two of our P7 pupils made some posters at home to advertise our Halloween Discos. These are now displayed in our school.
We are looking forward to seeing many of our pupils tonight for the Halloween Discos. Thanks to our parents from our Parent Staff Council for organising this fundraising event for the pupils of East Calder Primary School.
Please remember that we ask that children do not wear masks or bring props/weapons with them to the discos.
Thank you 🙂
Our P5 residential trip to Lendrick Muir is fast approaching. Please click on the ‘Parent Guide’ below to get more information about Lendrick Muir and the activities your child will be taking part in.
We hope your child is looking forward to their adventure at Lendrick Muir. You should have all the information you need and a copy of the activity timetable and kit list. Please ensure we have accurate information about any medical or dietary needs your child may have. If you require any further information or have any questions please contact Mrs Donnelly at the school.
The countdown is on. Our school app is now available for download and will be formally launched in a matter of days 🙂 More information will be available tomorrow at our open afternoon but in case you are as excited as we are – you can download the app for both android and ios now (paid for by our parent council, thank you!)
As mentioned in our monthly newsletter, we will be opening our doors tomorrow afternoon for you to join your child’s class. This is an opportunity for your to see your child, their friends and their teacher during a school day and get a feeling of what school is like. You may enter through the main school doors, or P1-P4 may enter through the P2 door and P5-P7 may enter through the P5-7 door. We know that not everyone can manage along to school – no matter when we plan it – but hope to see many of you, or someone from the extended family. Doors will be open from 2 – 3pm.
Please check your emails as term 1 termly overviews have all been sent this morning. If you have not received yours, please contact the school to ensure your email address is accurate. Many thanks.
