Do you ever wish that you had all the key school dates at the start of the school session?

Dates include: Christmas parties, Sports days; School nativities etc

Calendars are available to buy from the school office at a cost of only £5. Closing date for orders will be Friday 20th May 2016.

Community Crusaders visit Cunigar House!

6 Comments

During our last JLT session, the Community Crusaders went to Cunigar House in Mid Calder village to visit the tenants that live there. We went to Cunigar House to get to know our older community and to share our learning with them.

We brought along some games such as Kapla and Dominoes and some of our reading books and writing jotters.

Some of us enjoyed drawing pictures with the tenants.

“Cool Joe created a picture of Harry, Lucas and I.”- Naomi S, P1.

“At our table we enjoyed playing dominoes with Mrs. McCormack, Lewis and the ladies of Cunigar House.”- Ben S, P4.

“I enjoyed playing Castle Chase with Joy, and I think she enjoyed playing too.”- Erin C, P5.

“I shared my learning about Number Talks with Michael.”- Georgia S, P3.

“I drew Beth’s two budgies in a cage for her. One was green and one was blue. I also drew the school badge.”- Hana, P5/4.

At the end of our time there we joined together to sing ‘Caledonia’ and ‘Ye Canny Shove Yer Grannie’. The tenants seemed to really enjoy our singing. We all signed a card at the end to say thank you for having us and we hope to see you all again.

Have a look at some of our photos and videos of our time there! 🙂
