The Great Mid Calder Bake Off

3 Comments

This week, the whole school community got their baking hats on to take part in the first Mid Calder Bake Off. A group of invited judges had a very tough job on their hands choosing the winners and runners up in each category, as the standard was exceptionally high. A huge well done to all who took part and supported this event, and a big thank you to our guest judges. We certainly have some talented bakers in our midst. The Great British Bake Off, here we come…

Our worthy winners were:

Christmas Fair 2015

On Friday Mid Calder community braved the weather and turned up at MCPS for our Christmas Fair. The PSA had organised lots to do from face painting to Christmas crafts, shopping to delicious refreshments, and there was a special visitor too! A huge thank you to our PSA and staff for organising the fair, and to our P7 helpers. Also thank you to everyone who came along to support our school, there was a real community atmosphere.

If you couldn’t make it along there will be a chance to enter the raffles during our Christmas Concerts this week.

Dahlicious Dress Up Day

2 Comments

If you wandered into Mid Calder Primary School this morning, you might have seen some slightly unusual sights. Mr Willy Wonka, for example, taking the register to the office. Or Violet Beauregarde, Fantastic Mr Fox and Matilda playing spelling games. Or even an Oompa Loompa lighting a candle to celebrate advent! But, it was all for a very good cause. As Primary 5, Primary 5/4 and Primary 4 have been learning all about the life and work of Roald Dahl through their IDL context of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we decided to hold a ‘Dahlicious Dress Up Day’ to commemorate 25 years since his death. We dressed up as our favourite characters from his many fantastic novels and made a donation which will go to Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity. We raised £53.10 and we had a fantastic day full of fun and laughter.

A big well done to all those who made such a Wonkatastic effort for a very worthy and relevant cause!
