Please help us stop this vandalism in our school grounds! The children and staff of Calderbank Primary have been working extremely hard to improve our school and were bitterly disappointed to see this destruction which occurred on Monday the 24th March between 5pm and 6am.
If you have any information which would help us stop this from happening again, please contact the school on 01236 632084 or Airdrie Police on 01236 505100.
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.

Through taking part in a variety of events and activities, I am learning to recognise my own skills and abilities as well as those of others. HWB 1-19a
P3/4 helped Alan Kain to plan out our new garden area. They used a variety of different ways to measure length and recorded them in a plan.
MNU 1-11a I can estimate how long or heavy an object is, or what amount it holds, using everyday things as a guide, then measure or weigh it using appropriate instruments and units.
We have been working together to improve our school grounds. We planted lots of different flower bulbs and are planning lots more gardening to brighten up our playground and grow our own herbs and vegetables.
The children began painting our first playground mural today. The children made a great start and enjoyed working al fresco !
Can we please remind all children that they need old clothes and shoes, which can be kept in school, to enable them to take part in the playground improvements.
We were very grateful to B&Q for helping the staff to create 4 new planters for our school grounds.
We would like to thank everyone for the bottle donations so far but we need many more plastic bottles to complete our eco greenhouse.
I can create a range of visual information through observing and recording from my experiences across the curriculum.

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.
We are all busy creating designs for the ‘Right to Play’ mural in our playground. The Eco Committee will help to judge the winning design which will be used to produce our first school mural. Some of our Eco Committee have been writing emails and letters to ask our pupils, parents and community for help with our school grounds developments.
Representing my class, school and/or wider community encourages my self-worth and confidence and allows me to contribute to and participate in society. HWB 0-12a, 1-12a, 2-12a
Through contributing my views, time and talents, I play a part in bringing about positive change in my school and wider community. HWB 0-13a, 1-13a, 2-13a
We are delighted that a local builder has generously donated the paint and brushes for our mural.We also reminded everyone that it’s important that they bring in old clothes and shoes, as we need everyone to help us paint the mural.
We wrote to pupils and parents to ask if they would help us collect the 2000 2 litre bottles we need to complete our Eco greenhouse.

Everyone is reminded that from 15th-19th April is our Eco Action week and it is important that all pupils bring a waterproof jacket and wellies to school as we will be enjoying our outdoor learning in all weathers.
