Sky Academy P7B
P7B were fortunate enough to visit Sky Academy this week. Sky Academy Studios uses the power of TV and innovation to open young minds and develop young people’s Creativity, Collaboration and Communication. Our day out included
- A hands-on learning experience in which
the class will create their own TV content - A chance to work with team of experts
and cutting-edge technology - A screening of our video on the day and
the chance to watch and share the video after our trip - A behind-the-scenes tour of Sky
As you can see from the images below we have some budding Producers,Editors,Directors,Scriptwriters and there should be an Oscar nominations for our Presenters and Experts! Well done to our fantasic Cameramen/women who filmed the whole experience.
P3 Silent Disco
On Wednesday morning we were entertained with a silent disco. We danced and sang along in the playground. It was great fun!
Silent Disco P6A
P6A had an early wake-up call on Thursday morning when we took part in a silent disco. Although it was a chilly morning, we soon warmed up as we boogied our way around the park, singing and dancing to some very upbeat tunes! Although some of us drew the line at Gangnam Style, we all joined in enthusiastically with a resounding rendition of YMCA as we made our way back to the playground. There were some very bemused East Calder residents (including dogs!) but we all agreed it was a fantastic way to start the day! Thank you to Charlotte from Sustrans for facilitating the disco.
P5/4 fun on the last week!
Have a look at what we have been up to this week. We ended our week with a fun Easter Maths hunt 🙂
I have had a lovely time working with all of the children in primary 5/4 🙂 Have a lovely Easter holiday when it comes with family and friends. Take care,

Another MOTM in p4
Another superstar footballer in p4! This time Man Of The Match was awarded for great tackling and passing. Well done. ⭐️
P3 Art
We have been learning about Artists called Miro and Mondrian. We talked about the shapes they made and colours they used. We then created our own picture in their style. Some of us even tried to draw animals using the same idea. We then talked about what we thought about their artwork. Most of us preferred Miro, especially if we were creating our own, as his lines are wiggly so easier to draw than Mondrian’s straight lines. We then took our learning outdoors and created chalk drawings in their styles.
Sky Academy P7A
We had a wonderful time at the Sky Academy Studios today. The pupils worked in four studio teams using their media literacy skills to research facts, which they then brought to life in a fascinating bespoke TV report.
The pupils had allocated roles including a: producer, director, scriptwriter, camera operator, presenter/reporter, expert, eyewitness and editor.
They had to read through the studio briefs and create a teleprompter script for the presenters. The most impressive part was that the pupils did this with very little help from the experts; showcasing their pupil agency, creativity and teamwork skills.
Well done P7A, what a fantastic learning experience we had!

Well done to you, Man of the Match!

Dancing Superstars! P7B
Congratulations to these 3 dancing stars! On February 27th the girls competed in a competition in Glasgow. They came a very respectable 4th place and considering they were one of the youngest teams in the Youth category we all think this is an amazing achievement. I have watched their Cheer video and they really did themselves proud. Well done ladies!
