Health Promoting Day

Leave a comment

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.

P1/2 Green Fingers !

Leave a comment

P1/2 were helping to weed our raised beds and plant flowering bulbs for us all to enjoy. We spotted some creepy crawlies and even had some time for a play in the  nursery garden.

I have helped to grow plants and can name their basic parts. I can talk about how they grow and what I need to do to look after them.

JRSO – New Cycle Shelter

Leave a comment

Our JRSO representatives meet with the NLC Road safety team to discuss plans to build a cycle shelter in the school playground. The JRSO conducted a vote to decide on the shelter colour. The highest votes was for the colour blue and the new shelter should be ready in March.

All children are reminded that they are welcome bring their  cycle or scooter to school each day. We recommend that the wear a safety helmet and bring a bike lock to secure their property during the school day.
