The stars were out on the red carpet tonight at Mid Calder Primary as the Primary 7s dressed up as movie stars for their leavers disco. We were entertained by the DJ and refreshements came come our local chippy and ice cream van. A big thank you to all the staff and PSA who help to organise and attend the event. Also a big well done to Primary 7 who raised all the funds to pay for this event.
Primary 7 rewrote the lyrics to the song ‘See You Again’ for their Leavers Assembly and performed it for the school and their parents while this slideshow played behind them. The pictures capture the happy times that Primary 7 have shared in their final year at Mid Calder Primary School 🙂
This afternoon parents and friends of Primary 7 joined together for their last assembly at Mid Calder Primary. We were entertained by a quiz show, music and the Mid Calder Kids Choice Award. The grand finale was the staff music video. A big well done to the pupils and staff in Primary 7, for all their preparation and planning. We wish you all the best Primary 7, as one chapter closes and a new one begins.
Congratulations to Ross who received a West Lothian Attendance Award for having 100% attendance during his time at MCPS. Wow! What an achievement, congratulations Ross.
Today the Primary 6 pupils met their new buddy from the nursery. They told each other a bit about themselves, read them a story and helped them to make a card.
This week some members of staff created a display to show how we teach fractions at Mid Calder Primary. This will go on display at the West Calder High School S1 parent information evening.
The Primary 6s were visited by a team from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service today who taught them all about the dangers of deliberate fire setting, making hoax calls and general fire safety. They were also able to learn about the job that this team does and had a chance to look at some of the equipment that they use to help them. Everyone was reminded of how important this job is when the team had to leave half way through the session when they received an emergency call out. Thankfully it was a false alarm and they were able to return to finish their presentation. Thank you to the firemen for an interesting and informative talk.
Yesterday we had our Achievement Assembly for Term 4. Each class nominated one pupil to receive the Achievement Award for their class. Parents and carers were invited along to watch the assembly.
We also gave out Star Writer Awards, Top Scorer prizes, sporting trophies and announced the winning house for the term. The school was also awarded a certificate for our continued support for the Smoke Free Home and Zones project.
Well done who everyone who received an award!
Today Primary 6 pupils were involved in Buddy Training to prepare them for being P1 Buddies next term. We discussed the role of a buddy and why they are important. Pupils completed a carousel of questions including:
We then took part in a community builder which helped us consider the emotions P1s might feel when they start school, we found out who our buddy will be and finally we made our buddy a card.
