Eco Action at Calderbank

We are all busy creating designs for the ‘Right to Play’ mural in our playground. The Eco Committee will help to judge the winning design which will be used to produce our first school mural. Some of our Eco Committee have been writing emails and letters to ask our pupils, parents and community for help with our school grounds developments.

Representing my class, school and/or wider community encourages my self-worth and confidence and allows me to contribute to and participate in society. HWB 0-12a, 1-12a, 2-12a

Through contributing my views, time and talents, I play a part in bringing about positive change in my school and wider community. HWB 0-13a, 1-13a,  2-13a

We are delighted that a local builder has generously donated the paint and brushes for our mural.We also reminded everyone that it’s important that they bring in old clothes and shoes, as we need everyone to help us paint the mural.

We wrote to pupils and parents to ask if they would help us collect the 2000 2 litre bottles we need to complete our Eco greenhouse.

Within and beyond my place of learning, I can reduce, re-use and recycle resources I use, to help care for the environment. TCH 0-02a

Throughout all my learning, I take appropriate action to ensure conservation of materials and resources, considering the impact of my actions on the environment. TCH 1-02a

Having analysed how lifestyle can impact on the environment and Earth’s resources, I can make suggestions about how to live in a more sustainable way. TCH 2-02a

Everyone is reminded that from 15th-19th April is our Eco Action week and it is important that all pupils bring a waterproof jacket and wellies to school as we will be enjoying our outdoor learning in all weathers.

Karate taster sessions

All of our children were given the opportunity to try out some karate moves during the recent taster sessions. Classes are available at Tollbrae primary school and a leaflet with details of the group is displayed on our parent noticeboard in our school reception area.

I am learning to move my body well, exploring how to manage and control it and finding out how to use and share space. HWB 0-21a

I am discovering ways that I can link actions and skills to create movement patterns and sequences. This has motivated me to practise and improve my skills to develop control and flow. HWB 1-21a

As I encounter new challenges and contexts for learning, I am encouraged and supported to demonstrate my ability to select, adapt and apply movement skills and strategies, creatively, accurately and with control. HWB 2-21a

Red Nose Day !

A huge thank you to all our family and friends who helped us by donating toys, games and books to our Bring and Buy sale. We had great fun designing red noses, decorated ‘Red Nose Day’ biscuits and spent lots of pocket money at the Bring and Buy sale. With everyone’s help we raised a fantastic £121.75 for Comic Relief !
