PE Days Term 4 – 2023/24
Dundee Clan – Similarities and Differences
Dundee clan have been learning about what makes us all different and unique.
We began with creating our own unique fingerprint showing what makes us unique as a person. No two fingerprints were the same!
We explored our similarities and differences further by working with others in our clan to find out what we share with each other and what is different. We loved finding out more about each other – our families, religion, and languages spoken amongst many others.
We completed our learning with Autism Awareness Week, exploring autism to understand this further.
We created paper chain people, which we decided to link together and display in our clan, to celebrate our differences and how we are all unique.
Stirling 28.3.24
This week in Stirling we have been learning all about what makes us different and unique. As it is Austism Awareness and Acceptance week we have been learning about how to better understand autistic people. We have also been exploring what makes us all the same and what makes us different from one another.
Autism Acceptance Week: Aberdeen
In Aberdeen, we have been learning to respect each other’s differences. To celebrate Autism Acceptance Week, we discussed what autism is and shared our experiences. We understand that everyone is unique and we try our best to treat everyone with kindness. We created people paper chains and tried to include as many differences as we could. Our people paper chains will remain on our wall as a reminder to respect each other’s differences and treat people with kindness.

Calderwood Compliments:
- We had our Dragons Den: Be an Engineer Competition this week. The children who represented their clan in the competition were fantastic and the judges had a very difficult task of picking a winner for each level. Thank you to our judges for supporting the event. A huge congratulations to our winners! You can find out more in this blog post.
- This week our Primary 6 clans had our second visit to Heriot-Watt University – we explored the University as a whole (including lecture theatres!), the National Robotarium and even spent time in the Oriam. You can find more about the visit here.
We can’t quite believe it is the end of another term. It has been a busy time for us with lots of achievements and improvement progress made. I hope all our children and families enjoy the Easter holidays, thank you for all you support this term!
