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.

Hello Mid Calder Primary school. I have posted a link to GLOW games in the Children zone area of your website. It would be good to know what you think of them and what you think you can learn by using them.

You can click on the link - GLOW Games to find them quickly.

European Day of Languages is on 26^th September and to celebrate this event Mid Calder Primary School is having a French theme. Staff and children are wearing blue, white and red and the upper primaries will be open to parents to wander through and find out about the different French activities their children are learning.

From 8.45 – 10.30am there will be a bistro, with croissants, tea and coffee on sale.

Also during these times, primary 6 have an internet café. It is hoped parents will come and have a look at the new Mid Calder Primary School blog and even leave a comment!

For one hour, between 9.00 and 10.00am, primaries 4, 5, 6, and 7 open up their classrooms for parents to move around and find out about the variety of French learning activities.

Last, but not least at 9.30am primaries 1, 2 and 3 will perform some of the French songs they have been learning with Miss Cotter.
