Perfect Planting Promotion Challenge

As part of their Rainforest IDL, Primary 3 have been learning all about what plants need to grow and survive. As P1, P2/1 and P2 are going to be learning about ‘In the Garden’ this term, we were challenged to share our knowledge with them by creating a tutorial video about how to plant a plant.

We had to script, film, direct and edit our tutorials, using our digital skills to help us to add background music, transitions and sound effects when filming was complete. Check out our amazing videos!

Pirano Tribe:

We shared our tutorials with P1, P2/1 and P2 and then wrote invitations to ask them to come and help us to plant the plants that our tribe have been growing and nurturing for the last 2 months. Both Primary 3 and Primary 1-2 loved planing the plants and we can’t wait to see how well they continue to grow in their new home in our playground.

P6/7 investigating data analysis for IDL!

This week during our IDL, P6/7 have been using the Scotland’s Census website to find out information about Scotland and West Lothian. We found out for the last census in 2011, there were more females than males living in Scotland.
We are learning how to analyse the data from the census to help us understand what kind of country Scotland is in the 21st Century.
We discovered that health, education, labour, age and gender were all different around Scotland. We also were able to find out our nations population in 2011.
We are reading and interpreting the data and using it to help inform our understanding of the diverse nature of our nation.
This has been a really good way for us to include BYOD into our learning this week!!

Welcome to Mid Calder Nursery and Primary School blog.

 Our school vision creates a very positive ethos within our school; all members of our learning community ‘Believe’ in themselves and thus ‘Achieve’ the best they can which will ultimately enable them to ‘Succeed’ in all they do.

 

Our nursery vision is ‘Playing to Learn, Learning to play‘.

We aim to prepare all our young people for the challenges of the future. Our learning environment aims to stimulate, challenge, support and provide opportunities to develop life skills.

We take positive steps to promote effective partnerships between home, school and the wider community. We have an open door policy and you will, as parents, be made most welcome at all times. We hope you enjoy looking at ‘life’ within our school and nursery and we would welcome comments under any blog posting.
