This week we have been informed on which p6 and 7 enterprize groups are going into the Dragon’s Den (Miss Thompson and Miss Burton are the ‘dragons’) to present their work. We have teams who are presenting such things as smoothieS, a lolly lucky dip, tea, coffee, cakes, car wash, popcorn, tattoos, pik n’mix and other exciting things too. This is all going to be presented at the P7 fair this Friday on the 12th of June. We are all very excited and I’m sure a lot of the P7s are too because we are doing a new activity called…SPONGE THE P7S!!! so as you can see it’s clearly going to be a very funny and exciting morning for everyone.

Today was Day 2 of our Magical Mediators training programme to prepare us for our Responsible Roles when we go into Primary 7. We returned to St. Ninian’s Primary School and we completed lots of different tasks to prepare us for the role. We also made action plans, we will meet with Miss Burton to put these plans into place for the next school year.
A big thank you to St. Ninan’s for hosting the training and we hope to have a Magical Mediator Debrief session in November to check up on how everyone is getting on in their new role. Also thank you to our trainer Carol from the Scottish Mediation Network.
In preparation for the Responsible Roles that they will be taking on when they return as Primary 7s next session, some of the Primary 6 pupils have been learning how to be good playground games leaders today. Mrs Keogh, our Active Schools Coordinator, delivered a training session to teach the Playful Pals how to be a good playground buddy and to lead a variety of games with confidence. The P6s involved had an opportunity to try out some of their new skills with their peers and are looking forward to showing the rest of the school what great Playful Pals they can be in August.
This week Primary 6s are under going a training programme to prepare them for their Responsible Roles when they go into Primary 7. Today 14 children went along to St. Ninian’s Primary School to be trained in Peer Mediation. The pupils had a very busy day doing different tasks and learning about the role of a peer mediator.
A big thank you to all the children, parents and staff who turned up on Saturday (despite the weather) to represent our school at the Mid Calder Gala Day.
A big well done and thank you to the Primary 6 and 7 pupils who represented our school tonight at the Mid Calder Gala Queen Crowning by singing a melody of songs from our recent school show.

This evening boys from Primary 6 and 7 were selected to play in a school football tournament as part of the Gala celebrations. The boys successfully defeated East Calder Primary and Parkhead Primary, winning the final against Parkhead Primary.
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!
