Our Health and Wellbeing Hub – Name Reveal!!
Over the past few months our Equity Champions have been working hard to design and create a health and wellbeing hub (a space which all pupils would have access to at times during their time at Calderwood).
Our Mini HWB Champs launched a whole school competition to create a name for this space.
We had lots of great suggestions of names! However, our mini champs decided on one they felt captured Calderwood most…. in true Calderwood style with all C’s!
At Calderwood Connects our Mini HWB Champs announced the winning name.
THE WINNING NAME WAS………

Thistle Maths Week Scotland 30.9.22
This week we have been enjoying Maths Week Scotland. We have been hearing number through stories and then using the number concepts to help us better understand challenges in our own learning. For example, we read “A Million Dots” by Andrew Clements and then challenged ourselves by trying to do our own million dot wall, number ordering to a million and finding the craziest facts around one million. Some pupils enjoyed finding the roman numerals and others tried to work out what could be bought for £1,000,000.
We loved celebrating Calderwood Primary’s first birthday on Tuesday with a conga and a silent disco.
We have been working really hard on a research project on 3D shapes. Pupils have been using the assignment on teams to work to a criteria and then find a new and creative to share their learning. We are really excited to see what they come up with!
In STEM we have been exploring the respiratory system and investigating how our organs all work together.
We have been continuing to work on our Calderwood Cranium Consultants project, this week we have been using oil pastels to create artwork of neurons.
In PE we have enjoyed testing our stamina and balance and have been comparing our skills now to what we could do at the beginning of term.
The Ben’s Book Covers
The Ben’s have been inspired by their favourite books to create book covers that are now displayed in the discovery den. They have been creative with their work, some using free hand painting and colouring, others tracing, and some clan members used technology to design their covers. They have used their own ideas of what it means to be successful as a means to set a standard at this task, all students have completed it above and beyond these expectations. At home, you could discuss what your favourite book is and why you have chosen this – you could even have another read of that book to remember why you love it so much.
