On Thursday 2nd June, Primary 6 pupils traveled to the Almondvale football stadium to participate in a world record attempt.
The attempt was to break the record for the largest Djembe drum ensemble, sustained for five minutes.
After working very hard in our music workshops, we arrived to sit in the front two rows, in our purple baseball caps. We practiced the different sections and fills. The noise in the stadium was incredible with over 400 pupils all playing the different rhythms at the same time!
We had lots of pictures and video clips taken from a variety of places, including a drone cam!
After a tense few minutes while the stewards collated their information, Anna from “Officially Amazing” announced to the excited audience that we had broken the world record and sustained the performance for 6 minutes 20 seconds!
We were delighted! What an amazing experience and we are really looking forward to displaying our certificate proudly in our school.
(Thank-you to the parents/carers who were able to come along to the event to support us!)
Today Primary 6 were record breakers as they participated in The World’s Largest Djembe Drum Ensemble along with schools from across West Lothian. We are wearing purple hats!

12 P7’s were chosen to represent Mid Calder Primary at this years sports festival held at Craigswood. They participated in both track and field events.
The children behaved extremely well and supported each other as a team. They all gave 100% and pushed themselves to meet their full potential. Kasse was victorious in the shot putt and came home with a gold medal. Well done! We all had a fantastic day and enjoyed taking our skills from the gym hall to a competitive event.
The sun was shining on Mid Calder this morning as P1-7 went up to the field to take part in Sports Day. There was a range of activities on offer including: football shoot out, welly throwing, obstacle races, hurdles and lots more. A big thank you to Mrs Mitchell, our P.E. specialist for organising such a successful and enjoyable Sports Day and thank you to all the parents and families who came along to support the event.
Congratulations to Calderwood who were the overall winners!
Primary 6 had a very exciting start to the new term, heading off to Edinburgh Castle for our “Redcoats and Rebels” workshop.
After a smooth coach trip to the castle, we left the 21st century behind when we were met by Captain Roberts the Redcoat and Mike the Jacobite. After splitting into two groups, we each explored the defences, weapons and structure of Edinburgh Castle, learning all about how the Jacobites
tried on many occasions to seize the castle from Government rule. We then participated in workshops where we learned all about the daily life of a Redcoat soldier and a captured Jacobite leader. We handled some objects which were used at the time and even had the chance to become the characters. This was a jam packed, exhilarating way to spend our first day back of Term 4. Have a look at our photos!
Primary 5 took part in a fantastic music workshop today, with musicians who will perform for us tomorrow at the Catapluf Musical event. We learned about music in Brazil and Uruguay. We used or body to play music, played call and response games and then got the chance to play some of the instruments they had brought along to school.
They were right with their motto – playing music is ‘fun for free’! P5 loved grooving to the music and had smiles on their faces throughout. We are very excited about our adventure tomorrow now!
