LI. We are learning to record data using tally marks
Primary Two have been learning all about data handling. We are learning how we can use tally marks to record data. We used our knowledge of tally marks to record the different coloured cars we saw driving by then we used this information to create our own bar charts.

A big thank you to Mr Porter and Cameron Martin for coaching the team, and to everyone who showed up to support the team. Congratulations boys!
Celebrating 100 Years of Mid Calder Gala
Nursery to Primary 7 have been working on a mini learning context about Mid Calder, as they are celebrating their 100th year of Gala Days this year. Classes have been taking part in lots of different activities from walks through the village to orienteering, map reading to investigating the history of Mid Calder. Each class produced a photo frame of their learning, photos of the frames will be displayed at the front of the school on Gala Day and the Gala committee will display the frames in the village.

West Lothian Track and Field Competition
Today, 13 Primary 7 pupils represented Mid Calder Primary at West Lothian’s first Primary Track and Field event….and boy did they set a high standard for next year! Alix Fairley won both the long jump AND the shot putt events for the girls, and the girls relay team also came in first place, making Mid Calder the fastest relay team out of all of the 17 schools that took part. All 13 children were a credit to the school and themselves, showing each other fantastic support and good sportsmanship….despite the rain and hail that they had to compete in. Well done to all who were involved. Another fantastic achievement for Primary 7 this week.
