Last term Cunnigar won the house cup, so after a vote they decided they wanted to have a Candyland Party. Owen and Ryan worked hard to plan a fantastic party which included chocolate corners, pass the parcel, selfies, wrap the captains and lots and lots of Candy! A big well done to the boys and the P7 helpers for organising our party.

Visit from DR Sam Vettese 
On Thursday DR Sam Vettese came in and told us about here 3D printer and how it uses recyclable potato starch. DR Sam Vettese works in art and design at Napier University with 3D Printers. She brought a 3d printer in to show us then we made models out of plasticine. We were wee replicators for a while.
Dr Sam Vettese used to make bracelets and looked very pretty, Now she makes 3D models and researches new materials. Her favourite printing material is laminated wool.
We explored design ideas of what we would want printed in 3-D using Plasticine and got to take them home. What do YOU think of 3D Printers?
Thank you so much to DR Sam Vettese for the amazing art lesson/visit we hope you enjoy every moment.

The Budgies had a fantastic time at school camp. Every child took part on all the activities and lived by our school values. I had a great time working with this group.
At the end of our IDL topic about Dinosaurs, Primary 2 invited P1 and P7 to their Museum.
First, we made posters to inform the classes that the museum was about to open, and we put them up all around the school.
     
Then, we discussed the things we particularly enjoyed about our own visit to the National Museum of Scotland, and we talked about the kind of things we thought would have made our visit even better. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â For instance, we really enjoyed handling the dinosaur bones and looking at the huge skeleton models, but we thought that a short film about dinosaurs would have been really interesting too.
Thinking about these points, each Dino Discovery Team planned their own display. They had lots of  amazing ideas! Soon, we had displays that included
Primary 2 wanted their visitors to have lots of opportunities to pick things up and handle them, to play and to be creative as they learned about dinosaurs. They also created Fact Files about different dinosaurs, and carefully chose non-fiction books to display as well.
A big thank you to our PSA for organising such a fun and creative Halloween Party. Two of our house and vice captions attended a PSA to discuss what the pupils would like at the Disco and the PSA used this information to plan our exciting parties. Thank you to all the pupils, parents and staff who attended the discos.
Dear Parent/Carer,
Welcome to Term 2 in Mid Calder Nursery. We had a busy first term, getting to know each other, making new friends and enjoying our new building. We learned new routines, both inside and outside the nursery. The children risk assessed each area themselves and decided how they could play safely and learn successfully. We learned more about what we could do in each area and how we could use the new resources. The children and staff also talked a lot about what values we aimed to live by in the nursery and we created our nursery charter. This helped us during our first planner about friendship. We have all been showing qualities of a good friend, listening well, being kind and caring and sharing our space and resources with others.
