This afternoon parents and friends of Primary 7 joined together for their last assembly at Mid Calder Primary. We were entertained by a quiz show, music and the Mid Calder Kids Choice Award. The grand finale was the staff music video. A big well done to the pupils and staff in Primary 7, for all their preparation and planning. We wish you all the best Primary 7, as one chapter closes and a new one begins.
The Continuing Adventures of Peggy…
What a busy, busy time the Nursery have been having. The teddies have been sailing in a boat and we are writing books. Phew….
Peggy’s Adventures
Today, we had a surprise visit from Mrs Mitchell, who is the PE teacher in the school.
We ran some races – we were too fast for the camera! Peggy needs some exercise too so we made sure she joined in. We had great fun with the parachute.
We have a new teacher. Anya has decided that today, she is Miss Cotter 🙂

Peggy’s First Day
Today, the Nursery were joined by a new pupil. She is called Peggy. We fitted her out in a school uniform as she is nearly ready for Primary 1. We wrote some story books, played some Maths matching games and started building a Den for Peggy. She is a bit different from Peggy at the Five Sisters Zoo….
West Lothian Attendance Awards
Congratulations to Ross who received a West Lothian Attendance Award for having 100% attendance during his time at MCPS. Wow! What an achievement, congratulations Ross.
Nursery Bear Theme
The children in the Nursery are still being inspired by their visit to the Five Sisters Zoo last week. They really enjoyed meeting Peggy the brown bear. We have planned activities around the theme of Bears and Teddies and will perhaps have a Teddy Bears picnic later in the week.
It looks like there may be some Bears Dens appearing in the Nursery garden too. Watch this space.
P4
This week P4 have enjoyed learning about air resistance. We made our own parachutes of different sizes and carried out an experiment to see which parachute, big or small, would fall the fastest.
We also had fun this week learning karate. We have some excellent martial arts moves!
Meeting our Buddies
Today the Primary 6 pupils met their new buddy from the nursery. They told each other a bit about themselves, read them a story and helped them to make a card.
Fractions at MCPS
This week some members of staff created a display to show how we teach fractions at Mid Calder Primary. This will go on display at the West Calder High School S1 parent information evening.
