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!
