Every one has settled into St Mary’s well and we have all been enjoying learning and playing together. We are all doing very, showing the school values, and are super proud of how we have settled in. I am sure you will agree we all look very smart in our school uniforms.
We have enjoyed learning numbers, especially writing numbers 1 to 4, concentrating

Our P7 Buddies have helped us during break and lunch time as well as spend time with us in class, this week we read stories together.
We have had time to explore the our door classroom and use the school “Trim Trail” as well as having a go of the school bikes and scooters. During the first two weeks we have also enjoyed PE, Music and French as well as lots of time to play together. It has been such a busy time for us all.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Welcome to Primary 3!
What a fantastic first day we had. It was great to see everyone so smart and ready to learn. We were excited to explore our new classroom which is upstairs this year. It was great to see our friends and have time to play and chat together and catch up after the holidays.
It is the Feast of the Assumption today and we said some prayers and sang one of our favourite hymns for Mary. Today we celebrated when Mary ascended, body and soul into heaven. We made some prayers and pictures to add to our wall display.
P6’s last few weeks!
P6 have had an amazing last few weeks!
We have enjoyed some great outdoor learning sessions – climbing trees and making s’mores. We also enjoyed a fantastic trip to Edinburgh zoo where we enjoyed a picnic in the sunshine and got to see lots of amazing animals. We took our performance of Shrek the Musical to the stage and loved every minute of it – well done to all our actors and set designers! Then we rounded it all off with a ‘goodbye P6’ party before receiving our P7 ties.
Our future’s so bright, we gotta wear shades!!! P6 – Yoda Best!
Last week in P2
Well were almost at the end of P2 and what a week we have had.
On Monday we walked all the way to morning mass in West Calder. We were very good and all listened very well. We then went to the park at the back of the community centre where we had snack and got soaked in the heavy rain but had great fun playing with our friends from P1. We then walked to the community garden and went around the stick man trail and enjoyed exploring the fairy garden.
On Tuesday we had our last session with Mr Lockhart. We enjoyed playing and our s’mores which were delicious.
Today we had our picnic. We made our own sandwiches and then enjoyed them in the trim trail and had a play.
Thank you for a fantastic year, I hope you all have a fantastic summer😊
Another amazing performance of Shrek the Musical by our P4-7s!
Parents and carers were treated to another amazing performance of Shrek the Musical Jr! Once again it was an ‘all hands on deck’ situation and our P4-7s really showed that teamwork makes the dreamwork.
Feedback was amazing, with parents and carers saying they were blown away by the brilliant acting, singing and dancing and by the beautiful costumes, set designs, face painting and scenery.
Well done to every single member of P4-7 for working so hard these past few months to create such a memorable event.
P4-7 put on a Shrek-tacular show!
Tonight was the opening performance of Shrek the Musical and what a show! All pupils have worked hard for months to bring the show to the stage! As well as learning lines and dancing, pupils made all the scenery and props, created a giant Fairy Tale book and did important behind the scenes work including lighting, sound, scene changes and more! Well done everyone! It really was a Shrek-tacular show!
Tay Class update
It’s been another busy couple of weeks in Tay Class. We all had a lovely day out at Edinburgh Zoo yesterday. We especially had fun at the play park. Thank you again to all the parents who came along!
We had fun outside too at the trim trail.
Here are a few photos of our learning activities in class. Great effort Tay Class!
Zoo fun in Primary 1!
WHAT A DAY! Primary 1 had a brilliant day at Edinburgh Zoo yesterday. We enjoyed a visit to the Education Centre for a whole school quiz about endangered animals, then visited the penguins before sitting under a big shaded tree for some lunch. After lunch we played at the play park before setting off to further explore the amazing Zoo! We saw so many beautiful animals. We especially loved seeing the penguins, koalas, tigers and giraffes. Sadly, the pandas were settled in the long grass, and even though we couldn’t see them clearly, we could hear them munching on their food! There were lots of steep hills and we did a lot of walking and our teachers were very proud of all of us for keeping up. A quick visit to the gift shop followed, before getting back on the bus for our return to school.
A super trip for our super Primary 1s.
