Some pupils from the Caledonian Centre had the pleasure of going to Tony Macaroni in East Kilbride.
They enjoyed making their own pizzas starting from simply a ball of dough and then selecting their own toppings. After devouring their pizzas, they all enjoyed some ice cream. Thank you to all the team at Tony Macaroni at St James Retail Park, East Kilbride.
Everyone was made feel very welcome and enjoyed this experience very much.
Since Wednesday we have been excitedly welcoming new ducklings in to the Ness Room. We have them for the next 7 days before they go back to the big wide world.
They have been named Cole, Sonny, Dwayne and Custard. We are eagerly awaiting the last duckling. It was great fun putting them in the water for their first swim.
Keep an eye out for more updates.
We were learning about Shrove Tuesday and the origins from around the UK. We finished this off by putting our own toppings on our own pancakes.
These are so cute. The Caledonia Centre received duck eggs from Incredible Eggs; they have now hatched!
The project lasts 10 weeks in total and their S1&S2 pupils will be watching the ducklings growing all the way. At the end of the ten weeks the ducklings go back to Incredible Eggs where they “provide a local service by supplying poultry enthusiasts, hobbyists and smallholders with quality livestock.”
The students will have a variety of learning experiences from the project including the science of living things growing, animal welfare, safeguarding biodiversity & wildlife conservation.
The Caledonia Centre will post updates on this article as the ducklings grow.
For the past few weeks and over the next few the Caledonia Centre has been training students from S3 to S6 on Car Valeting. A professional car valeting training team has come to the school on Tuesday mornings and the students have been trained by the team with 2 or 3 staff members having their cars cleaned.
The S6 Class has been running it as an enterprise scheme as part of Personal Development and Car Valeting National Course with invoices given to staff to contribute to part of the cost. One of the S3 students has been described by James (the Car Valeting Instructor) as one of the best pupils he has ever seen. The student’s ability to take leadership and their attention to deal has been outstanding. James has taught over 7000 pupils and he is very impressed.
The students have very much enjoyed the car valeting and have looked forward to every session. Mr Anderson from the Caledonia Centre said that a wonderful job had been done on his car, it was beautifully clean and shiny, inside and out.
