As part of World Thinking Day, pupils in P1-3 and P4-7 wore their rainbows, brownies, guides and scouts uniforms to school.
We celebrated them at Connects and share their photos below
Tay clan had a fantastic Christmas party on Monday morning.
To kick off our Christmas party, we put on our playlist of chosen songs, and had a wee boogie to get us warmed-up. After that, we had a fantastic game of Christmas Corners. We also had a best dancer competition. Dancing and taking part in the games made us thirsty and hungry so we took time out for a snack and juice, provided by our lovely helpers, which was served on our Christmas placemats we had designed ourselves. Finally, we took part in some fun dances – chu chu wa and the Macarena. We loved dancing to these! The time went by so fast and were sad to see it come to an end. We had a blast together.
We loved learning, practising and performing our song for the Christmas Celebrations – Count on Me at Christmas. We loved exploring the value of kindness and spreading kindness to others because…..kindness costs you nothing! We hope you all enjoyed it too.
We also had a fantastic Christmas lunch together too. Such fun and wholesome times to spend together as a clan.
On Friday morning, Burns Clan came together to share their learning with their families and the rest of the school community through their Clan Connects.
The children told us all about Equity at Calderwood and their important role in deciding how our Participatory Budget is spent. They did an amazing presentation and we are so proud of each and every one of our learners.
Burns Clan then spent some time with their adults, sharing more of their learning from the year so far.
Thank you to all parents and carers who were able to come along to support Burns Clan on Friday morning.
