Mid Calder Yearbook November 7, 2008
Posted by wgordon in : Enterprise, P7 , 2commentsWelcome to the Mid Calder Yearbook Blog. It’s a blog for parents and pupils to debate what should appear in the Class of 2009’s books which will be printed and ready before leaving in June. Use it to bounce ideas off each other, put together plans or ideas for what could feature this year - it’s for you, so don’t be shy. We have a basic template from last year which worked well, but the great thing about yearbooks is that they can evolve over time. Post your thoughts, any thoughts, and the outcome will be a yearbook, exactly as you want it!!

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.
