Our ‘Terrific Tens’ were treated to a morning with the ‘World Of Wings’. We were delighted that all our children achieved 10 full green weeks and were able to take part in the visit from the birds of prey.
We had a wonderful end of term treat when the Animal Man visited our school today.
Personalisation & Choice
The curriculum should respond to individual needs and support particular aptitudes and talents. It should give each child and young person increasing opportunities for exercising responsible personal choice as they move through their school career.  Education Scotland
Fantastic Fives
The children enjoyed a choice of film and refreshments as their reward.
Here is a taste of the clubs that our children can choose from, as a reward for their good behaviour and effort throughout the week.
On the last day of term we congratulated the children who had been consistently on green in term 1, never receiving an amber warning or red card. We are very proud of their efforts and hard work and they received a special certificate in recognition this.
We are extremely pleased with the effectiveness of the daily diaries in keeping the children on track. There has been a significant improvement in the overall behaviour within the school and we are delighted with the childrens’ willingness to strive to improve.
As you are already aware, the school offers weekly rewards in the form of our learning clubs. These are chosen by the children and offer a wide range of stimulating and enjoyable learning activities to motivate the children. However, in addition to this, we are delighted to announce that all children will be receiving the end of term, ‘Fantastic Five reward !
This end of term reward offers a longer term goal for all children to work towards. During term 1, the children were required to have 5 full green weeks to be a ‘Fantastic Five’.
We are delighted to announce that EVERY CHILD IN THE SCHOOL has been successful and will receive this reward!
This amazing achievement will be celebrated on the 25th October when all children will be enjoying a cinema afternoon. They will choose from  one of the three films on offer and will receive popcorn, a hotdog and a drink to enjoy too.
We are delighted with the standard of behaviour  and effort from our pupils in the first few weeks back to school. Everyone has started the new term with a positive attitude and we are so pleased that no one has lost any privilege time so far ! We thank parents for your continuing support and encouragement.
The children have started their first block of ‘Privilege Time Learning Clubs’. The children were asked to chose from 5 clubs, stating their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. Most children received their first or second choice of club and enjoyed choosing from a wide range of fun activities. Â The clubs run for three weeks at a time and the children will be encouraged to offer their ideas and suggestions for future clubs.
At Calderbank Primary we are committed to helping every child reach their potential. This term we are extremely grateful to all the parents and carers for supporting the introduction of the new home/school diaries. We are grateful for the parental feedback this term and have seen an increase in the amount of greens each child has achieved, showing the positive impact the daily communication between home and school is having on the children.
Each week all children are given privilege time as a reward for their good behaviour and effort. However, in recognition of the effort in maintaining this over a term, we felt it was important to introduce  an additional reward for all children who had managed to achieve 7 or over full green weeks out of the possible 10.
The Pupil Voice group meet to decide on the reward and the children received an inflatable fitness session and cooled down with an ice cream or ice lolly.
