‘Our Clan is a Family’- Leven

Leven clan have had a fantastic start to P4, we have been working hard getting to know one another and  building our classroom community! We took part in a number of activities that allowed us to express ourselves and work co-operatively.

We explored the story “Our Class is a Family” and took part in a meaningful discussion about how we can make our clan a supportive and positive environment for all learners. We touched on important topics such as respect, growth mindset and kindness.

Leven clan also helped Mrs Bates lead our connects this week, where they introduced everyone to our first value ‘Belonging’. They presented what belonging meant to them and how they belong Calderwood.

Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond Leavers’ Celebration

Our Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond clans came together on the morning of the 26th June to celebrate their time at Primary School with their families.

The children chose to do an “Oscars” themed celebration and shared successes and achievements through giving each other awards.

Thank you to our Parent Council, who funded the gift of a personalised keyring for every child in Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond – we really appreciate this gesture.

The children gave a fantastic performance for their final Connects and we wish them the best of luck as they move on to High School!

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!

Green Skills Circular Economy Challenge

This term, Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers have been taking part in the Circular Economy Challenge which is partnership with Young Enterprise Scotland. Pupils have developed their enterprising skills in a real-life context, giving them an understanding of the world of business, design and technology and have the opportunity to create a company, carry out market research, create a business plan and advertise their product or service with its own logo and tagline.

Last week, the Ben’s took part in a showcase event where each group pitched their business plan to a panel of judges. They were impressed with how knowledgeable and creative our young entrepreneurs were. Thank you to our wonderful judges for providing us with valuable feedback.
