Hello everyone,
We hope you have had a nice relaxing weekend after all your efforts last week for Sports Day and Health Week.
This week’s grid is based around a theme park context – as well as the grid, you will find a spelling list and some money / numeracy questions.
We look forward to seeing more of your hard work this week,
Mrs Campbell and Miss Beattie
Good morning P3R/ P3/2C,
We hope you have all had a great weekend!
Here is the learning grid for this week 8th June.
You can ask an adult to help with estimating litres.
This is East Calder Gala week so we have included an activity for you to dress up , run races or make some bunting to hang up. We hope you have fun and enjoy some time with your family.
Keep up the good work and remember we love to see photos of what you are all doing at home.

Hello everyone,
I hope you and your families are well and have enjoyed taking part in some of the Health Week activities this week. Well done if you have taken part in the virtual Sports Day and earned points for your house. Thank you for all the home learning you have sent this week. It is lovely to see so many people working so hard during lockdown. You should all be so proud of yourselves! I am very proud of you. Here are some more examples of your fantastic home learning.
You used numbers on your magnetic easel to calculate how many days you have left until Primary 3. This is fantastic addition and subtraction Phoebe. Well done for choosing a creative way to practise Numeracy.
A few weeks ago, you used your toys to create your own enchanted woodland. This is so creative and looked like you had lots of fun. Well done!
After watching a “Let’s Go Live” episode with Maddie Moate and Greg Foote, you used your learning to create your own volcano model. This looks amazing and I can see you worked very hard on it. You look so proud of yourself and you should be. Well done!
A few weeks ago, you created this lovely poster to show your support for our fantastic NHS. I hope you displayed this proudly because you did a great job. Well done!
Keep sending me examples of your learning Primary 2. I really enjoy seeing all your learning and the interesting things you have been doing at home. Thank you to everyone who has been sending home learning so far. Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Marra
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
Good morning P3/2C,
Hope you and your families are doing well this week and you have been able to take part in and enjoy the health week activities. I know a lot of you joined in the Virtual Sports Day so well done and you earned points for your school house.
Thank you for sending in more of your home learning this week. It is always great to see what you have been learning about at home.
Here are just some of the examples of home learning that have come in:
I look forward to seeing more of your home learning soon.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Cameron
Sports Day has finished! Well done to everyone that took part.
The scores will be counted and there will be an announcement tomorrow morning.
Good Morning
Here are some suggested activities to give a try.
Kim’s Game – Kim’s Game is a memory game using everyday items.
Collect 6 or so items from around your house and lay them out. Discuss each item with your child(ren) to see what they can tell you about them e.g. colours, purpose, texture, what it’s made from e.g. we use a spoon to eat food with or stir things, it’s silver, you hold it in your hand, it feels smooth, it’s made of metal, etc.
Once you have discussed all the items, ask the child(ren) to have a good look and to try to remember what items there are.
Then the child(ren) cover their eyes while the adult removes one item. The child(ren) need to guess what item is missing. Whoever gets it right, is the next person to hide an item, etc. Natural items can also be used when playing this game outdoors. L.I I am developing my concentration skills and memory.
Online games – Click on the following link to play online games which will develop many different skills. L.I I am developing problem solving strategies, navigation and co-ordination skills, as I play and learn with electronic games, remote control or programmable toys. https://pbskids.org/games/
Life Cycle – Jenson has been doing the butterfly project. “We have been looking after baby caterpillars, watching them eat and grow bigger, forming their chrysalis then emerge as beautiful butterflies for us to release. We have been reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar book, painting caterpillars and butterflies with handprints and learning all about the life cycle.” L.I I have observed living things in the environment over time and am becoming aware of how they depend on each other.
I know some other children in the nursery are doing this as well, it would be great to keep us updated on your learning journal. If you are interested in this, you could always learn more about this by reading a book about the life cycle or watching a video on YouTube.
#GlobalDayofParents – Monday was National Parents’ Day to recognise and appreciate parents for all that you do. We know how hard you work, especially so at the moment. Be kind to yourself and take a moment to recognise all that you do for your family, no matter how big or small it may seem.
All the Ladies at East Calder Nursery would like to say a HUGE thank you to our parent/carers, for all your hard work through this challenging time. You are doing an amazing job, teaching your child life skills, supporting your child when they need reassurance, creating memories your child will remember forever and soo much more! All the Ladies have loved seeing your updates on your Learning Journals. We are thinking of and missing all our families at East Calder.
Sports day – We are having a virtual sports day on Wednesday the 10th of June so next week the blog will only be updated with lots of sports day ideas from the Ladies. We will post these on Tuesday to allow you to get resources ready for Wednesday (don’t worry we have all had to improvise, please just use what you have got in your house). We would love you to join in the fun and share your sports day on your Learning Journal. L.I I am enjoying daily opportunities to participate in different kinds of energetic play, both outdoors and indoors. I am developing my fine and gross motor skills, coordination and balance.
Remember to have a look at http://blogs.glowscotland.org,uk/wl/snonursery for more learning at home ideas.
Take Care
