Here is a selection of our mural entires. The Eco committee will judge the competition and we are hoping to start the painting during our Eco Action week, when we return in term 4.
Our Eco greenhouse can only happen with your help! We put posters on the school fence to remind everyone that they need to keep collecting. We need over 2000 2 litre bottles to complete it. We thank everyone in the community for their support.
We had a fun filled day on the last day of term. The children made Easter bonnets, baskets from recycled bottles, took part in an egg designing ‘House Challenge’ and had an egg hunt.
We have been working together to make our playground a more interesting, fun place to play. Here are a few quotes from the children.
I wasn’t sure about playing in the ‘Houses’ but it’s really good now because we’re getting the chance to play with other people. – Chloe P7
I ‘m happy that we get a chance to play with different people in different areas. I like to help the younger ones or choose to play with my own friends. – Megan P7
I like playing with the big ball – T’Jay P2
I think it’s better that we play in our House groups so it’s not all the little ones versus the big ones. – Cameron R P7
I didn’t really like playing football in the Houses with the little ones because we have a harder shot and we could hurt them.’ Ellis P7
I like to get the chance to play in the nursery garden. I like to sit in the shed in the peace and quiet. – Kelsey P5
I would like to do tennis and badminton in the sport’s area. Now that we know how to play badminton, we can teach the younger ones. – Ailidh P3
It’s good that everyone gets the chance to play with different toys. I like to sit in the shed on the benches and the big blow up ball is fun too. – Kirsty P7
Here is a plan of the playground zone areas.
This is the current rota for the zoned areas. We are keen to ask the playground supervisors and the children’s opinions to make sure we are keeping everyone safe and happy.
By exploring the ways in which we use and need rules, I can consider the meaning of rights and responsibilities and discuss those relevant to me. SOC 1-17a

Primary 6/7 are putting their ICT skills to good use by producing a range of posters to present information about the United Nations Rights of the Child.

All children will receive a leaflet outlining the benefits of Glow and how it can be accessed at school and home. On the back of the leaflet you will find your child’s own login and password. Please contact the school if your child encounters any problems logging on or if you have any other questions.
Calderbank pupils joined children from our partnership school, Tollbrae  at a showcase event at the Shawlands hotel. They enjoyed meeting children from Rights Respecting Schools across North and South Lanarkshire who are also working hard to develop Global Citizenship.
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 0-09a, 1-09a, 2-09a
Two of our pupils will be attending a  showcase event at the Shawlands Hotel. They will be sharing their experiences with children across Lanarkshire and telling them all about our development of the ‘Rights Respecting School’ culture  in Calderbank primary.
Opportunities to carry out different activities and roles in a variety of settings have enabled me to identify my achievements, skills and areas for development. This will help me to prepare for the next stage in my life and learning. HWB 2-19a
Here is an idea of some of the children’s roles and the activities they have been involved in this term.
I explore and discover where foods come from as I choose, prepare and taste different foods. HWB 0-35a
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
Primary 1/2 have investigated chicks and eggs through their purposeful play activities. Amongst the wide range of activities, the children have been cooking eggs and baking lots of yummy treats.
