West Calder High School

Leave a comment

On Tuesday the primary 7 s went up to West Calder High School as part of the to  ‘Big Get Together’. Several other schools went to the event including all of our cluster schools and some S1’s, who previously came to Mid Calder, were also there. While we were there we got taught some social dances including The Dashing White Sergeant, The Virginia Reel and The Heel and Toe Polka. First we danced to traditional music which was quite easy then we changed to some modern music which was a bit confusing. We had a snack of crisps and a drink of juice as we were so exhausted after all our dancing. Afterwards we went back to the hall and  played a series of games which were corners ,best dancer,musical statues and the Macarena. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we look forward to going up to high school for transition and seeing some of our other  old and new friends.

Today we turned the upper area into a movie theatre, where only the best actors, directors and cameramen were invited. The children have been working hard to create their own blockbuster movies featuring either, Dizzy, Fluffy or Spike. Each group focused on the three C’s and S’s…….colour, character, camera and sound, story and setting and today was the day where they showcased their talents.  Showing in our cinema was, London Crisis, Spike Bond and Fluffy Dimension, to name but a few, however there could only be 3 winners. Each child voted for the movie they felt demonstrated the skills that we had been learning in class, portrayed a good storyline and also made us laugh.  And the winners were…….

Well done to everyone on completing their film. It was evident, from the movies, that the children has used a lot of what they had learned throughout their topic and that they thoroughly enjoyed making their own movies. I am sure that we have some budding actors and actresses in our midst.131143142141138139140136135134016130132133

P7 Internet Safety

2 Comments

On Tuesday the 9th of February it was Internet Safety Day. P7 took part in some activities based on Internet Safety. Miss Anderson gave us some cards with actions on them such as, you are annoyed, disagree with everyone, you are sad, agree with everyone. We then had to walk around the classroom and when someone spoke to you we had to act them out to create the online feel. Miss Anderson then showed us some online messages and comments,we then had to go to the emotion that it made us feel; upset, happy, curious, laugh it off, not bothered, angry and worried. We then discussed why the messaged made us feel a certain way. Finally we watched a video about the ‘Magna Carter’ ( a document that establishes the principle that everyone is subject to the law) of online rules. As a class we then thought about what rules we would like to see the internet have to ensure that everyone is safe online.
