We started our residential by visiting Culloden Battlefield to put our Jacobite learning into real life. We explored the battlefield, took part in a charge and shared our knowledge of the battle. We also took part in The People of the Battle workshop.

Pencil Grip and Letter Formation Rhymes – Support for Parents
In P1 it is important to reinforce the correct pencil grip and correct letter formation while in school and at home.
P5 Bowling
Rain couldn’t stop play for Mid Calder Primary School’s young bowlers on Thursday. Weather conditions meant that a planned trip to the local bowling club was switched to the school gym hall instead but that didn’t lessen the enthusiasm or enjoyment for the youngsters, who have been undergoing bowling sessions held by Mid Calder Bowling Club.
The bowling club are keen to start a junior section when the new outdoor season starts next May.
And they are also looking for size 00 bowls, to allow juniors to play in competitions. Anyone able to donate a set should contact Jim White at 01506 880412 or 07766 834 491.
The Mid Calder pupils enjoyed this afternoon’s indoor session, but are still looking forward to a trip to the outdoor green in May.
Thank you to Mr Anderson for coming to take our photos.
