Today, our Primary 5 pupils headed to East Calder Sports Center to demonstrate their handball skills against other schools in our cluster. P5 did a fantastic job representing Mid Calder Primary, demonstrating all of our school values as well as great sportsmanship, team work, communication skills and motivation to achieve. Well done Primary 5!

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.
