Calderbank’s Annual Christmas Show – The Little Match Girl!

We are pleased to announce that our Christmas show this year – The Little Match Girl was a success! We are so proud of all of our pupils who put in a lot of hard work to prepare for the show and put on an excellent performance on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday evening! Many thanks to all of the parents and staff who helped out behind the scenes, we couldn’t have done it without you! To all who attended, thank you! We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did!

Primary 3 – 7 Visit to Dynamic Earth.

On Wednesday, Primary 3/4 and Primary 5/6/7 went to Edinburgh on an educational visit to the Scottish Parliament and Dynamic Earth. Both classes have recently been learning about Space and were able to apply and extend their knowledge through a space workshop. Here the children were involved in designing space rovers for different planets and moons and they had the chance to present their designs to the rest of the group.

Whilst Primary 5/6/7 were at the Scottish Parliament, Primary 3/4 enjoyed exploring Dynamic Earth and were lucky enough to get covered in foam during their 4D video of the Arctic! Miss Ross certainly did not expect it!

Almond Valley Visit

Our blog is back up and running after a brief Glow update! Hooray!

Before the October holidays, Primaries 1-4 were learning about the Harvest. They visited Almond Valley Heritage Centre and got the chance to learn about where their food comes from and how it is gathered. Here are some pictures of their day! You will notice that they got the chance to be ‘Tattie Pickers’ for the day and all the vegetables that they collected were used to make some delicious soup!

Kilbowie – Day 3

Day three has come to an end and P7 have enjoyed more fabulous activities and even more fabulous weather. We hope you enjoy today’s pictures!

Hi again everyone. Today I went kayaking and canoeing – I didn’t really want to do the kayaking at first but eventually I gave it a go and loved it. I’m still having a great time. Miss you all. Lewis x

Hi mum. I went kayaking today and thankfully I didn’t fall in. Derek took us on a safari and we saw some animals that he had caught. Derek was really funny! Goodnight and see you soon. Ethan x

Hi mum and dad. We went on a safari and it was very funny because the instructor called Derek asked me a question and when I answered he called me a numpty and to stand up. Nobody chose the same answer as me and it turned out I was right and they were the numpties. I am gorge walking tomorrow and can’t wait. Love Callum.

It was Mr Bissett’s last full day today so this evening we all walked down into Oban and got some ice cream together. We also got to see a pipe band practising in the middle of the town. My trainers have dried out now. J Thomas x

We got to see some trapped animals at safari today. We also got to go down to Oban for an ice cream. I had a raspberry one – it was good. Miss you loads. Liam x

My teammates and I went canoeing and we went to some huge rocks and jumped off them. It was really high and took me a while to build up the courage. I did it though! We all went down to Oban and got some ice cream. We saw a pipe band while we were there. See you soon! Jenna x x x

We went canoeing to some cliffs today and I climbed to the top and jumped off. I wasn’t going to do it but the instructor said it would be a cool thing to tell everyone I had done and that helped me be a little braver. I also went rock climbing and climbed up some cliffs near the beach. We also walked into Oban for some ice cream. I got mint choc chip and it was yummy! Lots of love, Savannah  x x
