Morrisons Vouchers
The Eco Committee were busy counting the vouchers our friends and family have helped us to collect.
We have over 800 vouchers so far and would ask if anyone else has any more vouchers to donate, they should be sent to school by Friday the 8th November. Thank you.
Whitelees Wind Farm
P5/6/7 visited the wind farm as part of their investigation of renewable energy.
By considering examples where energy is conserved, I can identify the energy source, how it is transferred and ways of reducing wasted energy. SCN 2-04a
Through exploring non- renewable energy sources, I can describe how they are used in Scotland today and express an informed view on the implications for their future use. SCN 2-04b
Lanarkshire Foodbank Visit
Calderbank and Tollbrae responsible citizens visited the Foodbank to help sort the grocery donations.
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 1-12a, HWB 2-12a
As I explore the rights to which I and others are entitled, I am able to exercise these rights appropriately and accept the responsibilities that go with them. I show respect for the rights of others. HWB 1-09a & HWB 2-09a

Harvest Assembly
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our food collection and who came along to help us celebrate and give thanks at our Harvest Assembly. P3/4 gave a wonderful performance and shared the important message of caring and sharing.
They explained that as a Rights’ Respecting School we want to help ensure that people in our local community have the right to nutritious food. Therefore, we are delighted to be making our donation to the Lanarkshire Food Bank in Airdrie.
Our parents & friends enjoyed refreshments in our Fairtrade cafe’. We are extremely grateful to everyone who entered our raffle for a Fairtrade hamper, we raised £53 and the lucky winner was Mrs Reid !
I have experienced the energy and excitement of presenting/performing for audiences and being part of an audience for other people’s presentations/performances. EXA 1-01a

Classroom Charters
As a Rights’ Respecting School it is important for us to know our rights in school and the actions we need to respect each other’s rights’.
Each class has created their own pledge.
I know that friendship, caring, sharing, fairness, equality and love are important in building positive relationships. As I develop and value relationships, I care and show respect for myself and others. HWB 0-05a / HWB 1-05a / HWB 2-05a
Our Harvest Produce !
P5/6/7 have visited our community allotment to harvest our vegetables. Unfortunately the hot summer weather was not good for our crops and we lost a lot of our produce. However, we were delighted to discover our potatoes and turnips have thrived and we are looking forward to cooking them soon.
When preparing and cooking a variety of foods, I am becoming aware of the journeys which foods make from source to consumer, their seasonality, their local availability and their sustainability. HWB 1-35a / HWB 2-35a
