Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 3 in Primary 4. All of the children worked hard during term 2 and we are looking forward to a busy and fun term 3. The highlights of last term included our George’s Marvellous Medicine IDL context, especially our ‘Natter to Nana and Papa’event. This term we are looking forward to our From Field to Fork context and our STEM context later in the term.

Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 3 in Mid Calder Nursery. We had a very busy time in Term 2, looking at different materials and how we could use them to build and using vocabulary such as hard, soft, rough and smooth. We participated in several science experiments, where we investigated how a car would move down a ramp when travelling on different surfaces and we also looked at the changes in ice as it freezes and melts again in changing environments. We loved the excitement in the run up to Christmas and enjoyed sharing this special time with your children. The children enjoyed taking part in a variety of Christmas activities and we hope you agree, performed brilliantly at their Christmas show. This term as part of the school Burns celebrations the children are learning “Wee Willie Winkie” in Scots. The children are working hard to learn this and will be sharing it with the other children in the school. Please help your child to learn this poem. A copy can be found on the school blog. Please feel free to wear some Tartan to nursery on 25th January.
Kind regards,
Mrs Murray, Mrs Diamond, Mrs Aikman and Mrs Findlay.
Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 3 in Primary 2/1. The highlights of last term included our Cops and Robbers IDL context for learning. Thank you to everyone who came along to our Open Afternoon during Scottish Book Week. The children very much enjoyed sharing their learning with you. Performing in the Nativity and the BFG Christmas was another highlight of Term 2, and I’m sure that you will all agree that the children did a fantastic job.

Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 2 in Primary 3/2. We started by getting ideas for our new film and digital literacy Reading topic! We look forward to a fantastic term with P3 and P3/2 pupils and enjoyed our trip to Edinburgh Zoo to see a film and talk about conservation and asked great questions about life in a rainforest. Amazingly, we also caught a glimpse of a male panda! Please continue to comment in your child’s homework jotter or contact us directly. It would be helpful if pupils could bring in a box of tissues to help fight infections.
Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 2 in Primary 5. All of the children have settled well into P5 and we are looking forward to a busy and fun term 2. The highlights of last term included our Romans IDL context, and our P4/5 school camp to Dalguise. All pupils have also now joined a Junior Leadership Team and look forward to making positive changes within our school this year. We are excited to share our learning about the Romans during our class assembly on 18th November.

Welcome to Term 2 in Primary 3. This term our topic is The BFG which is also the theme of our P2-3 Christmas show. We will be spending time each week preparing for the show and letters will go out over the next few weeks with your child’s part in the show and any costume/clothing they may need.

Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 2 in Primary 7/6. Last term, the children were incredibly motivated and enthusiastic whilst learning all about World War Two. They demonstrated that they are successful learners and effective contributors through a variety of learning experiences. Our focus for IDL learning this term is our production of Alice the Musical. Pupils are currently working very hard to learn songs, lines and dances to create a fantastical and magical production, which we are all excited to share with you! As usual, in the build up to Christmas, the school will be a hive of activity. Particular events are detailed at the bottom of the page.

Welcome to Term 2 in Primary 2/1. The highlights of last term included our visit from Buddy Bear and our trip to Almondell and Calderwood Country Park. We hope you enjoyed reading about our activities and looking at the photographs on the school blog. This term we are looking forward to exploring our IDL context of ‘Cops and Robbers’. We are also beginning to practice the P1 Nativity and P2 – P3 Christmas show.
