Digital Learning Week 2019
Leah is Leading the Learning in Second Level French
on the 14th of february Leah lead the learning in French with her Cloze procedure worksheet all about St.Valentin. Pupils in three classes had to use a FRENCH dictionary and research skills on the netbooks and their own devices to find the missing words and to translate these into french. This was part of our mid calder loves languages week. please come and look at the wall display in the upper area to see what else we got up to?!
Mardi Gras Carnival and Celebrations for Scotland Loves Languages Week!
Pupils in P6/7 and P7 have participated in a week long programme of learning opportunities, incorporating many different skills for life and learning, across curriculum areas. We have been focusing on applying our spoken French language skills, whilst learning about French culture and celebrations. We have created elaborately designed masks for Mardi Gras; we have used and learned French vocabulary for describing our school, resulting in a fantastic “Voici Mon Ecole” video; we have learned how to participate in a Mardi Gras carnival procession, including our drumming and dancing skills; and finally have been learning how to cook crepes!
Lots of very exciting IDL learning, shared also with Mrs Green from the 1+2 Modern Languages development team, who brought her conversational French skills into our classes! We loved speaking French with her!

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.
