Basketball at Calderwood
Congratulations to all the players who took part in this years basketball club at Calderwood. From taking part in the training to turning up to tournaments we are so proud of your effort, determination and teamwork.
We have celebrated some great moments this year; our first win as a team, getting through to the play-offs for the west lothian cup and individual moments of achievement.
Miss Quinn, Ms Morrison and Mrs Bryson are so impressed. We hope to see you back at the club again after the holidays or joining the high school team. We are also really looking forward to seeing plenty new faces in the new term too!
P6 Cross Country Race
Thistle and Schiehallion clans had a fantastic morning out at the West Calder Cross Country Event at Polbeth United pitches. They supported each other wonderfully and all children completed the race. To top off a brilliant morning, Calderwood Primary Boys were the winning team, coming first in the overall team event! The top 4 boys will have the opportunity to take part in a further Cross Country event when they are in Primary 7. Well done to all!
Aberdeen: Outstanding Olympians
In Aberdeen clan, we have been learning about the ancient origins of the Olympic games through our IDL focus, “Outstanding Olympians”. We were interested to learn that the upcoming Olympic games in Paris were inspired by the ancient games held in Olympia around 2800 years ago! We designed modern Olympic logos to represent the ancient beginning of the games and created short performances to re-enact a significant moment from the history of the games. Some clanmates also chose to build miniature Olympic stadiums inspired by ancient Greek architecture.
We have also enjoyed learning about some of the sports included in the Olympic games. In P.E., we have been perfecting our shape, balance, rolls and jumps in gymnastics. This week, we loved demonstrating our precision and agility on the balance beam!

Well done Calderwood Knicks!
Mrs Morrison and Mrs Robertson were so proud of our super basketball team ‘Calderwood Knicks’ when they played in the silver playoffs on Friday 26th May. From only forming our teams in October, to now making it into the playoffs, is a huge achievement that they should be proud off. We came 6th in the silver league and got in some tremendous baskets – even some of the professional players were impressed! Well done to all of you, we cannot wait to see how Calderwood basketball teams develop next year!
