We were very grateful to B&Q for helping the staff to create 4 new planters for our school grounds.
New planters made by Calderbank staff
Orienteering
P4-7 braved the cold and wind and thoroughly enjoyed their first orienteering session with our Active Schools Coordinator, Stephen Hughes.
300 plastic bottles so far !
We would like to thank everyone for the bottle donations so far but we need many more plastic bottles to complete our eco greenhouse.
Please, please, please keep collecting !
Team building
P3/4/5 enjoyed team building games with our Active Schools Coordinator, Stephen Hughes. We practised our skills, showing how we can cooperate with each other and work as a team.
Yoga sessions
We all enjoyed the yoga during Eco week. We learned how important good breathing, balance and relaxation is for the body.
Look how we have grown !
Our little chicks are now growing hens and roosters! Take a look at their new home.
New Playground Amphitheatre
We are delighted to announce the arrival of the latest addition to our new look playground. This new theatre style seating will be of great use to our children both in class time and during breaks.
Sugar Awareness Workshop
P4-7 pupils were finding out about the sugar content in a range of popular foods and drinks. We discovered that there are over 52 different terms/names for sugar and it is often difficult to tell how much sugar is in many of our favourite drinks and snacks.
Tuesday – RSPB visit, Zumba & Dental Health Talks
We braved the wind and rain this morning when we visited the RSPB site, Baron’s Haugh in Motherwell. Despite the bad weather we had a great time and the children’s behaviour and attitude was praised by our guide Stephen.
Eco week gets off to a flying start !
We started our Eco week on Monday with a visit from St Andrew’s Hospice.
We also  had First Aid training for P6/7 with our St. Andrew’s Ambulance trainer, Ralph and a woodland walk with our  NLC Forest Ranger, Jackie.
