Our chicks will be strong enough to be rehomed very soon. We have loved caring for them and watching them grow and change.
Look at them now !
Chick Update !
Fundraising total !
We are delighted to announce that our non-uniform day raised £56 for UNICEF. A big thank you to all our pupils and families for your generosity and support !
Baby Chicks
We now have 8 baby chicks which are doing well and getting stronger by the day! The children are enjoying watching them grow and are learning how to care for them.
Badminton Coaching for P3/4/5
The children have been enjoying their first few sessions and our coach Shirley has been teaching them how serve.
Calderbank Primary is ‘Glow’ – ing
Glow is a safe and secure website that can be accessed by all pupils and members of staff in Scottish schools who have a username and password. So you can imagine how very proud we all were today to see Ellis’s painting of our school on the Glow login screen. Mrs Donnelly submitted a copy of the painting to the Glow site just a few days ago and was absolutely delighted that it was posted on the site today !
Tweeting the new arrivals !
We were delighted to come into school this morning to discover we had three new chicks in our hatchery. During the school day the children of P1/2 were able to witness the hatching of another chick taking our total to 4 ! I wonder how many we will have by tomorrow ?
Our eggs have arrived !
Primary 1/2 are mother hens for the next fortnight ! As part of our Science focus we have received 10 eggs to care for from Living Eggs – Scotland. We will be watching their progress and caring for the new arrivals. Mrs Donnelly has set up a camera day and night so that we don’t miss the big moment when they hatch ! Watch out for our film appearing soon on the blog.
Valentine Disco
A big thank you to the Parent Council for organising the Valentine disco!
The Parent Council donated t-shirts and all children wore their designs on the night. All children had great fun, dancing and playing party games. They had the opportunity to make their own Valentine cards and had lots of treats to take away with them.
Unicef Day for Change !
On Friday 15th February we will be joining children around the world in the Unicef Day For Change. He are having a non-uniform day and will be donating all proceeds to the charity. We’ll be looking at UNICEF’s vital nutrition work that helps hungry children around the world get enough food to eat.
Caring for our teeth
All children at Calderbank primary are involved in the Childsmile programme and brush their teeth each day in school.
