This competition is a fantastic way to compete against lots of other Primary students, have fun and develop numeracy/maths skills at the very same time. If your child has forgotten their details, please do get in touch with the school office as we’d be more than happy to assist.
We have a winner!
We are extremely proud to announce that an invention created by a child from Ness Clan won the East of Scotland for their age category. Their invention, The Automatic Pencil, will be displayed at the University of Edinburgh Exhibition on 18th May and they will also recieve their certificate and trophy at an Award Ceremony later that day.
We had a huge number of entries of an extremely high standard so all children involved in the If you were an engineer what would you do? competition should be extremely proud of themselves. A special thanks also goes to Mr Clarke (Calderwood Parent) for giving the children in Ness, Rannoch and Tay Clans inspiration to begin inventing through presenting to the clans on the topic of his STEM career.

Term 3 PE in Tay and Rannoch
Autism Awareness in P3 and P4
L.I. I am learning about autism and that we all have differences and similarities.
Ness, Rannoch and Tay clans have been finding out all about autism for World Autism Acceptance Week. We shared our prior knowledge about autism and then read some stories to find out more. We recognised that autism is one of many things that make someone unique and we celebrated this by making venn diagrams to show our similarities and differences. Some of the pupils were keen to share their knowledge with others so we made a video showing our understanding and ideas about autism and why awareness is important.

Calderwood Connects: 25/03/22
This morning we gathered together in clan clusters to begin preparations for our first in person Calderwood Connects next Friday. Our children recognised how lucky we are to have a spacious and comfortable Arena to gather in.
Our clans all demonstrated good listening skills and were very respectful of everyone in the Arena. Congratulations to Shetland, Bluebell and Rannoch received clan certificates for being ready, respectful and safe at Calderwood Connects.
