Well done girls for your tremendous performance on Tuesday night! The overall winners were Christ the King Primary School but we did ourselves proud. Our Eco Committee put in a lot of effort to make our entry which was a video highlighting all of the work we do to make our school environmentally friendly. It was a great achievement to get to the final.
Please find below all the staff photographs taken at Dounans Residential Outdoor Learning Centre this year. The pupils that attended experienced many enjoyable and challenging activities that we are sure will last in their memories for a lifetime! Well done P5, you truly were a credit to yourselves and the school.
Mr Bissett
The Wild About Scotland bus visited us today! On the bus, the children from all of the classes got a chance to learn about some native Scottish animals, in particular beavers and wildcats. It was a very informative and enjoyable day!
Here are some pictures from the football and handball festivals we attended!
Today, we welcomed two children and their Eco coordinator from seven different local schools to walk around our school and see all of the hard work we’ve been putting into our nature garden and other aspects of Eco. Our Eco Committee were at the front door to meet and greet everyone as they arrived. The children took part in some den building, kindly assisted by Taylor, Jenna and Ashley-Anne. Later on we received a very informative talk from EDF energy about nuclear power.

Primary 1,2,3,4 were lucky enough to visit Vikingar in Largs, as part of their Viking topic! They got to see what it was like inside a Viking Longhouse, meet some of the Viking Gods and even had the chance to protect themselves in battle from a Viking warrior! Oh, and before the children went home, they had some outdoor fun in a local swing park! Here are some pictures of our trip!
This morning the Lidl Health Factor visited Calderbank! The boys and girls enjoyed having the opportunity to choose ingredients and create their own smoothie. They also exercised so that they could see how their heart rate is affected. Enjoy trying out the healthy recipes in the free cookery book and make sure to spend your voucher in a Lidl store!
In the afternoon, three of our P7s were leaders in learning by sharing some of their new knowledge and skills in First Aid with the rest of the children. Thank you Callum, Jenna and Kelsey for the insight and thank you Mr Lamb for visiting to take our First Aid Learning Club.
Calderbank and Tollbrae were lucky enough to get a special mention in the August to December Active Schools Newsletter, Â commending them for all their hard work! We are so proud to be one of the first schools in Scotland to achieve Gold in the Sportscotland School Sport Award!
As part of their Viking topic, Primary 1-4 have been using facial expression, body language, thought bubbles and speech bubbles in their Still Images to show what their characters are thinking and feeling. Here are some photographs of the children in action! Note: the theme was ‘A Viking Raid’ – that’s why we have some scary, angry faces! Â See if you can tell where the Vikings might be raiding!
