This week Primary 3-2 had a visit from Mary our local park ranger. She brought the park into our classroom and we had an imaginary walk with her using many of the objects found in the park. This was a very informative talk and the children really enjoyed it.

This is Lukalu Umea Primary School in Uganda. The other photo is the primary two class. Over the coming months the whole school, at Mid Calder will be working on a variety of ways to raise funds to help Lukalu Umea refurbish their P3/2 class. At present Mid Calder’s P3/2 has produced playground books, P4 are making calendars and P6 will be writing a novel in collaboration with their French partners. Primary seven have designed a logo which will go on all fundraising items. We hope to set up a working partnership with Lukalu Umea where many classes will be examining culture and diversity.

This week as part of their technology work, the children made these junk models of the Church, play park, school building and Torphichen House. They worked in groups to discuss what to make and selected suitable materials to use.
