This week as part ‘Safer Internet Day,’ we have been thinking about different ways in which we can stay safe online. We had lots of wonderful ideas and we made our own e safety posters to show how we can stay safe when we are using the internet.

Getting our business heads on in the Middle Area

This afternoon, P4, P5/4 and P5 were lucky enough to have a second visitor to come and help them with their IDL topic, Grand Designs. Mrs Deerness, the school’s Business Manager, spoke to the middle area about her job of helping Mid Calder Primary to make the most of our school budget from West Lothian Council. We learnt all about council tax and what this is used for, how much money our school is given to spend each financial year and what this might be spent on. Mrs Deerness even told us how much money is given to spend on each individual pupil in the school, which made us appreciate all of the resources we have even more! We asked lots of thoughtful questions to deepen our understanding about budgets and finance.

A big thank you to Mrs Deerness for coming in to speak to us. We know that this knowledge of budgeting will help us when we are making the tough decisions in our classroom designs.

During their writing time Primary 6 have been investigating the features of report writing. During planning time this week they had to create a range of questions using higher order questioning skills, that they could ask staff and pupils about Mid Calder Primary School. This morning they interviewed a range of people in the school community. We look forward to reading the final report!
