Primary 4A Gerbils
Primary 4A have been preparing for the arrival of our class gerbils.
We have been doing research in class and using our notes to create Power Points about caring for gerbils. We have been thinking about names for our 2 new gerbils and after creating a list of our favourites we used Microsoft forms to vote for our winning names.
Here are our responses:
The winning names were Salt and Pepper. We cannot wait to meet Salt and Pepper when they come to school on Tuesday after the long weekend.

Whole School ‘Nativity Assembly’
This morning we held our usual virtual Assembly on TEAMS, however today’s assembly was very different as it was our first Nativity Assembly which was led by the pupils of East Calder Primary School. The Christmas Story was told by pupils from every class and we think that our P1-7 pupils did a fantastic job! You all learned your parts so well and spoke clearly and confidently – great job everyone!!!
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
Health and Sports Day
To all East Calder pupils,
You have been incredible during Health Week. Together you ran 255km, took part in a wide range of activities and scored a combined 35577 points at Sports Day! It was so nice to receive so many emails, photos and videos of your Health Week learning.
You are all fantastic. I am a very lucky and proud PE teacher!
Mr. Millar
