P3a Learning

This week in P3a we have been working on numbers to 100, talking about number before, after & between. We have been sharing out strategies for adding within 20. In Literacy we have been learning about nouns & adjectives and how to write a description.  We have been introduced to Epic Reading on the iPads, which we love!  We have been continuing to discuss the wellbeing indicators and talking about how we feel. We worked as a class to decide what would be our first topic. We chose The Geography of Scotland and then thought about questions we would like to investigate. Another fun week with lots more learning!

P3a HWB

This week we have been learning about the well-being indicators Safe, Healthy, Active and Nurture. We discussed how we feel in different situations. We thought about how we know we are nurtured and how we are all unique. We designed back packs to show how we all look different and all like different things.

Learning in P2/1

This week P2/1 have been learning about the school rules. We wrote the words and drew pictures to show how we are Ready, Safe and show Respect. Some of us presented our learning at the school assembly. 😁

‘We are ready when we sit still’ Belle.

‘We are safe when we walk in the corridor’ Jay.

‘We show respect when we look after the toys in the classroom’ Eli.

We listened to the story of The Rainbow Fish. It’s all about friendship and sharing. We linked our story to our class charter and made our display with our own fantastic Rainbow Fish.

First Aid Training

Our fantastic Pupil Supports workers along with myself took part in a refresher emergency first aid course to ensure we can continue providing the best care for all of our children!

A big thank you to Crown Safety for educating us all further with important life skills. Adults learn too 🙂

Welcome to P2/1!

We’ve had a great week in P2/1. The boys and girls have had lots of fun in their new classroom and are settling well into the school routines after summer.

We had a chat about our favourite parts of the week.

‘I liked playing with the puppets.’ Emily G

‘My favourite part was the reading corner. I liked reading The Bug Collector.’ Abby

‘I liked the car park.’ Harris

‘I like the construction area.’ Harrison

We had a great time with Mr Millar during our PE lesson too. Our PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays.

 

Primary 7A Place Value

What a week we have had in P7A! It has been lovely to get to know each other and get stuck into our learning. The pupils have contributed great ideas and input this week, helping to plan how we will meet our learning outcomes for the term. Here are some videos and photographs from our numeracy lessons; recapping on, and having some fun with place value.

Congratulations Everyone! We did it!

Huge Congratulations everyone!

I am delighted to announce that East Calder Primary has been awarded a Silver Reading Schools Award from the Scottish Book Trust.

Thank you to all staff, pupils and families who have been reading, talking about books, enjoying libraries and sharing their love of books and reading with others.

Classes completed the Reading Schools Attitude Survey and it was great to see many of you enjoy reading more now. You said you have more interesting things to read and describe reading as relaxing and fun.

Thank you for your involvement and enthusiasm, and a special mention to those who find reading a bit tricky but keep trying.

Now that we have an award it’s important to continue to build on our Reading culture at East Calder Primary. There will be lots of opportunities to carry on sharing our enjoyment of reading and books next session.

 

I am so proud of you all and remember KEEP READING!

P5/4 Achievements Outside of School

I am very proud of these pupils for their fantastic achievements outside of school. One pupil got these trophies for her amazing racing which we enjoy hearing about each week. She got 5 1st places at Ireland. The next pupil got this wonderful medal for his martial arts competition – a massive well done!
