Dear Parent/Carer,
With a heavy heart I am writing to inform you that at the end of this school year I will be leaving Mid Calder Primary School. I am returning to Northern Ireland to take up a head teacher post close to my family.
As most of you will know, I came to the school in 2013 and have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and your children. I feel so privileged to have been part of your child’s life and to watch them learn and blossom. Your children are such a credit to you and I am proud of every one of them as they strive to succeed in everything that they do.
I am also very proud of everything that the school has achieved in such a quick timescale. This is largely due to the dedicated staff team at Mid Calder as well as the support from our parent body and local community.
I will miss everyone here and would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for making me feel so welcome. I know that you will all do the same for my successor. An advertisement for the post will go out very soon with a view to appointing a new head teacher as soon as is possible.
Yours truly,
Nicola Thompson
Head Teacher
This morning, MCPS opened its doors to parents, carers and friends in order for pupils to exhibit their learning through our STEM (Sciences, Technologies, Engineering ad Mathematics) contexts for learning. This included:
P1: The Garden
P2-3: The Great Deserted Island
P4-5: Project Planetarium
P6-7: CSI
Our guests spent time in their children’s classes taking part in a wide range of activities including; designing space crafts of the future, information sessions, demonstrations, Science investigations and lots more.
We also used this time to ask parents for their input into our Curriculum Rationale, the the results of which will be shared soon.
Thank you to everyone who came along to support the event.
The sun shone on Mid Calder on Friday as we opened our doors for our annual Spring Fair organised by our PSA. Pupils past and present, families, staff and members of the local community joined together at MCPS and took part in a range of activities and events from the bouncy castle to tombola, various stalls to face painting.
A big thank you to the PSA who organised the event and to everyone who attended. We raised a huge £1773.97.
To celebrate Digital Learning Week, today some of our Technical Troopers took part in a Glow Meet with Williamston Primary School to share our progress with Bring Your Own Device so far. Both schools shared how they have been using BYOD to enhance teaching and learning, and it certainly inspired our thinking and gave us some great ideas about what we could do next. Some of the pupils in Williamston have been using online tools to create their own profile pictures for their Yammer accounts, which has inspired P5 in Mid Calder to do the same.
Thank you to the pupils who gave up some of their lunch time to share some of the great examples of learning through digital technologies happening in both schools.
This afternoon we invited the parents and carers of our Nursery children who are transitioning to Primary 1 to a transition workshop. The Primary 7 pupils took the parents on a tour of the school and they had the chance to visit the P1 classrooms. We also shared some hints and tips for P1 from the current P1 parents which you can find below.
