Calderwood Communication (for information)
- Today we marked the first anniversary of the official opening of Calderwood Primary and Nursery by launching our Calderwood Capsule Challenge. All clans have the opportunity to record their magic moments from Calderwood, why we are unique and future dreams. We look forward to seeing what you all come up with!
- We are aware that there are proposed strike days are on the same days for Champion Conversations and Clan Connections, we will make a decision early next week if we need to reschedule any events, and keep you updated.
- If your child would like to play on the grass areas at break and lunch times, please ensure they have outdoor shoes to change into, as their feet may get wet. You might also want to include a change of clothes in their school bag.
- A gentle reminder that lunches should be ordered on iPay at home, this includes noting if your child has a packed lunch from home. Children take part in a range of Stag Start learning activities in the morning, therefore stopping them to order their lunch interrupts their learning time and uses unnecessary admin time. Friday packed lunches should be ordered by 9:30am on a Thursday. Advice on how to use iPay can be found here.
Calderwood Compliments:
- Tummel Clan shared their learning about Scottish Inventors with our clans and their families at Calderwood Connects. What an informative, engaging, creative performance!
- This week saw our first ever Calderwood residential, with Ben Lomond going to Lockerbie Manor for two nights. The clan demonstrated a have a go attitude, resilience, determination, but most of all, had fun making memories. Thank you to all the champs who made this residential possible. We have some photos on Twitter and will make a sway capturing their adventure very soon.
- Thank you to West Lothian College and their HNC CP students who worked with some of our children in the forest this week. Fantastic examples of team working, den building and snack making. We can’t wait to use this to develop outdoor learning in our school.
