This P6 pupil has found a creative way to share his image of a poppy. Well done!
We asked our P7’s what they thought Health and Wellbeing looked like at East Calder Primary. Using the HWB recovery curriculum as a springboard the classes produced individualised posters demonstrating what Health and Wellbeing means to them. Under the headings Recover,Reflect and Re-explore and using the wellbeing indicators,our school rules and our LEARN values they created these child friendly go to reminders. These have been shared with the West Lothian Health and Wellbeing team. I think you will agree they did a great job not only on the artwork but also making relevant and viable links to our Wellbeing Indicators.
Fantastic to welcome Maureen Liddell fromWest Lothian Museum Services to our class today. She shared with us a range of aretefacts and stories relating to our current context of WW2. We learnt about how our country prepared for war,discussing rationning,evacuation and shelters. The class were fortunate enough to handle a range of artefacacts including a gas mask,identity cards,ration coupons and even an ARP warden helmet. This visit links closely to the work we are doing in PM writing at the moment where we are looking closely at the features and layout of a recount.
Look at some of our fantastic Maths entries for a competition we did in school. Well done everyone!
Congratulations to these 2 very active members of 7B! On Saturday 6th November they both attended a dance show at Howden Park Theatre. They have not participated in one for over 2 years, due to Covid, and said it was fantastic to be back.They had lots of different outfits,telling me all about the sparkles and glitter! There were lots of different types of dancing involved from cheer,jazz,to hiphop and highland. The girls explained that as the curtain lifts your heart begins to beat so quickly but as soon as the music starts you begin dancing and you have the time of your life! Amazing,wish I could of watched you. Sounds fantastic.
Have a look at the task some of us completed using Pixton for West Calder High. We had to write our own mini conversation in French.
We had a Spooktacular Friday dooking for apples and creating our very own spider Oreos. Our favourite part was eating them!
Spooky happenings in P7! Happy Halloween everyone
We welcomed Michelle Sutherland from West Lothian Drug and Alcohol Service on Wednesday. Michelle spoke to us about identifying the different kinds of risks associated with the use and misuse of a range of substances.We discussed the impact that the misuse of substances can have on individuals, their families and friends. Moving forward East Calder has been chosen as a pilot school to work alongside WLDAS to create a HWB action plan which will then be used acoss West Lothian. Watch this space!
Well done to this creative and talented pupil who used leftover tin foil from her snack to create these amazing models!
