Finding our way in Schiehallion
Schiehallion have had an excellent first 2 weeks settling back into Calderwood life after our summer holidays. We have been very welcoming to the new pupils and champions who are now in our clan.
We have really enjoyed playing Getting to Know You games, as well beginning our PE lessons. We have also been learning about measure and forces, making posters, which you can see below.
This week we held our pupil council elections. We discussed what would make a good pupil council representative, and then a number of the students campaigned for election. This included making posters and making a speech to the rest of the clan
‘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 Dinner at Nandos
To celebrate their final week at Calderwood, the pupils of Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers went for a meal to Nando’s with some of the Calderwood Champions. We had a lovely time, chatting and sharing our memories of the year together. 
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!

Saving Seesaw Profiles: Primary 1-Primary 3
As Primary 3s move into Primary 4 they will no longer to use Seesaw but will move to Teams, it will take them a few weeks of training on how to use Teams before they start to use it as a journal.
