Our Primary 6 class are taking part in a Kosher Rap competition, where they have been tasked with recording their own rap video, based around something that they have been learning in school. This is a national competition, so we will be competing against other schools throughout the UK. If we are successful in winning this competition we will win the chance to record our song and film with a professional recording company. This is a great chance for our Primary 6 class, and also a great chance to raise the profile of our school and our Kodesh curriculum. Please take the time to visit www.kosherrap.uk to vote for our entry. If you click to watch the videos then you will see at the beginning of the video which one is the Calderwood Lodge entry. Please encourage as many of your friends and family as possible to do this, as some of the other schools that we are competing against have a much bigger role than ours, with more children and families to rely on for votes.
There will be school disco on Thursday 18 June, organised by the Parent Council. Please see the flyer below for more details.

Next week in Calderwood Lodge sees us turn our attention to all things healthy as we participate in our very own Health Week. This has been organised by Miss Dunn, and includes exciting activities such as zumba, yoga, handball, rugby, karate, hip hop taster sessions, alongside smoothie making, oral health sessions and visits from parents to talk about sporting achievements. We look forward to what should be an exciting week of activities. Please could you ensure that your child has a change of clothing for each day that is suitable for both outdoor and indoor wear. We anticipate the children will be working up quite a sweat so would like to ask that you also ensure that they have a bottle of water with them each day to stay hydrated.
As we move into the final term here at Calderwood we begin to look forward to all of the events coming our way. On Monday 15th June the whole school will take part in our sports day. This will take place at Muirend Pavilion and will begin at 1pm. We look forward to seeing you there.
On Thursday 26 March at 2pm the staff and pupils at Calderwood will be joined by the Roizman family in a celebration for Noya. All parents of Noya’s and Ely’s classes have been invited to attend. We look forward to welcoming the Roizman family back into our school and sharing some special memories with them.
Just a reminder to all parents/carers that school will close at 2.30 on Friday 27 March. We will be closed for the Spring Break for two weeks and we will re-open on Monday 13 April.
We are currently upgrading some aspects of the main school office. This will hopefully only take a short time, and normal arrangements for use of the office will return as soon as possible. In the meantime we apologise if this causes any disruption.
Just a quick reminder that Parents’ Evening will be on Thursday of this week. This will run from 3.45 until 8.30, and once again the book fair will be open for business. The appointment sheet will be up in the nursery next week to make appointment times for our anti pre-school children.
The excitement is starting to build in Primary 3 as the children put the finishing touches to their Messibat Siddur performance.  The evening is due to start at 7.00pm on Wednesday 18th March, and the children should arrive back at school at 6.30pm to get ready to go on stage.East Renfrewshire Child Protection Committee are hosting three major events to tackle the concerns of parents, young people, staff and those in our local communities about exploitation in a number of ways, and at a time of increased media attention. Please see the attached flyer for more information on the events.
