During our last JLT session, the Community Crusaders went to Cunigar House in Mid Calder village to visit the tenants that live there. We went to Cunigar House to get to know our older community and to share our learning with them.
We brought along some games such as Kapla and Dominoes and some of our reading books and writing jotters.
Some of us enjoyed drawing pictures with the tenants.
“Cool Joe created a picture of Harry, Lucas and I.”- Naomi S, P1.
“At our table we enjoyed playing dominoes with Mrs. McCormack, Lewis and the ladies of Cunigar House.”- Ben S, P4.
“I enjoyed playing Castle Chase with Joy, and I think she enjoyed playing too.”- Erin C, P5.
“I shared my learning about Number Talks with Michael.”- Georgia S, P3.
“I drew Beth’s two budgies in a cage for her. One was green and one was blue. I also drew the school badge.”- Hana, P5/4.
At the end of our time there we joined together to sing ‘Caledonia’ and ‘Ye Canny Shove Yer Grannie’. The tenants seemed to really enjoy our singing. We all signed a card at the end to say thank you for having us and we hope to see you all again.
Have a look at some of our photos and videos of our time there! 🙂
What a fantastic idea Community Crusaders! It looks like everyone enjoyed your visit, I really enjoyed looking at your photos and watching the videos. I’m sure they are looking forward to your next visit already!
How do the children become community crusaders, as this is something my child could benefit from?
Thanks Miss Kerr for that visit it was an amazing experiance!

Mrs Brown – at the start of the school year every child in the primary school signs up for a Junior Leadership Team (JLT). The children consider which group best matches their interests and skills. Every JLT has a responsibility for driving forward different school initiatives linked to the school improvement plan.
Community Crusadors – your singing sounded great.
