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.

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!

Crowning of the Gala Queen

On Friday evening 2 of our groups of pupils performed for the newly crowned East Calder Gala Queen. Up first were our choir, who are becoming seasoned performers now, with their lovely upbeat summer song. Secondly our newly formed Primary 6 and 7 dance group took to the stage to dance. This was their first performance and they were fantastic!
Well done to all children who participated- it takes a lot of courage to perform to such a large audience.

      

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.

Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for parents/carers to visit the P1 classrooms and meet the Primary 1 teachers.
