This week our three Primary 7 Junior Road Safety Officers attended a West Lothian JRSO Induction Event at Broxburn Primary School.
During this event our JRSO’s developed their knowledge of Road Safety, received brilliant resources and were given training on how to present information to an audience. The JRSO’s really enjoyed their afternoon and are very excited to share what they have learned with the JRSO Junior Leadership Team and with the rest of the school.
As part of Scottish Book Week Primary 1 to 7 invited their family and relatives to teach them all about reading. Parents got to experience what a reading lesson is like in their child’s class and the range of activities and resources available. They were also given tips on how to support their child at home.

Primary 4b pupils at Mid Calder Primary School have come first in the West Lothian SumDog Maths competition run across all West Lothian Council Primary Schools. Donna McMaster, Head of Education (Development) at West Lothian Council representatives from SumDog visited the school yesterday to congratulate the class and to present them with their winning trophy.
At our Pupil Council Meeting this week we looked at the School Improvement Plan and what this would look like, sound like and feel like in our school. The pupils worked together in small groups to use OneNote to collaborate together using the one document, with the other pupils supporting the younger ones.
Here is a copy of our School Improvement Plan in a child friendly version: pupil-version-sip-16-17
This year, Primary 5B have been using Yammer to share their learning through their IDL contexts, George’s Marvellous Medicine and the Romans. We use Yammer to access useful websites, contribute our thoughts and ideas and to share new facts we have learned.
Today, we took part in a live YamJam session where we had the opportunity to ask questions about Yammer to some of the administrators of the Glow Yammer Network. We asked some thoughtful questions, and were able to answer other people’s questions as well.
Yesterday, Primary 4 and 5 invited our Nanas, Papas and relatives of the older generation into school to join us for a Novel Natters session. We read a piece of our own writing linked to our IDL context for learning, George’s Marvellous Medicine. We had been asked to use our prediction skills to write chapter 7 of the book, using clues from the text and our knowledge of the author’s style to help us to make a realistic continuation of the story.
Our Grandparents gave us ‘Nana’s Notions and Papa’s Praise’ feedback, sharing what they thought we had done well in our prediction, what their favourite part was and ideas of how we could have made our piece even better. They even gave us a star rating.
We absolutely loved our Novel Natters session, so a big thank you to all those who attended. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
The children in the nursery have been raising money for Children in Need 2016. They had a dress down day as well as having some Pudsey fun.

Following our trip, P5B created a short video to share their views on the film.
