Families Learning Together – Wednesday 16th May – 3:15pm
Primary 5 STEM learning
Our STEM topic this term is to design and create a new healthy dish for school lunches. We have been learning about Scottish and local produce. We have interviewed staff from the lunch hall to find out the most popular types of lunches as well as collecting data from all the classes in school. We are using this information to help us design new dishes.
Learning Intention
We are learning to design a new, healthy school lunch dish with Scottish produce.
Success Criteria
I can use Scottish/local produce in my design
I can use my knowledge of healthy foods to help me in my design
I can make my dish interesting
We have been researching ingredients and different produce found locally/around Scotland – we even found chillies being grown in Dumfries. All the children are really keen to test their dishes to see how they taste. I can’t wait either.
Mrs Andison and P5
Pumphie Pals – Have your say!
At our Pumphie Pals session this morning we used How Good is our School to create key questions to help us reflect on our year. We then used this time to answer the questions reflecting on what went well and how we could be even better.
This information will be collated along with our staff and parent/ carers views to help form our priorities for next session.
P1-P7 Families Learning Together
Wednesday 16th May 3:15pm
You are invited to our final Families Learning Together session of this year.
You will have an opportunity to see some of the learning which your child has been involved in this session and to help them to set targets to improve and progress.
FLT is a great chance to spend time sharing learning with your child, talking about their progress and next steps and understanding more of what they are learning before parent appointments – any member of the family is welcome.
Your child will shortly receive a slip in their school bag, please complete the slip and return to school so we know who to expect on the day.

Triathlon Coaching Session
Today, we welcomed a coach from Triathlon Scotland/West Lothian Tri to come into school and coach some of the children in P5-7 who have expressed an interest in the upcoming West Lothian Schools Triathlon. They learned about what to expect on the day and had a chance to practise some transition drills. The children taking part all really enjoyed the session and we have had a message from the coach to say how well-behaved the children were. Well done to all that took part!

Calder Pyjama Party!
As Calder received the most Dojos last term, they requested a pyjama party. Jessica and Katie organised a range of games, pyjama corners, pass the pillow, stuff the pillow and bed sheet parachute games. We also had lots of nice treats for snacks. Thank you to all the Primary 7 Young Leaders who helped to organised the party.
