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.

World Book Day!
Today we had great fun in Calderwood Primary School celebrating World Book Day. To spread the love of reading even further your child will have a £1 book token which you can find out more about by clicking here.
To celebrate World Book Day, the Ben Clans were able to be reading buddies with Mull, Orkney and Shetland Clans. The younger children became authors this morning as they wrote all about space. This fun was shared by the older children too, they were given time to free-write and could share this with their buddies later in the day.
Mull Clan, Bens Lawers and Ben Lomond:
Orkney, Bens Lawers and Ben Lomond
Shetland, Bens Lawers and Ben Lomond
In Ness and Rannoch Clan the children have been learning about different setting in books. To celebrate World Book Day they searched the libraries to find books with different setting and then used new and exciting adjectives to describe the settings they found.
