Perth Clan have been involved in ‘Roots of Empathy’ – The programme consists of guided observations of an infant’s development and emotions. Perth Clan showed great kindness, patience and empathy throughout the project. They enjoyed the regular visit from baby and mum. Pupils related the baby’s emotions to the emotions of others.
A big ‘Thank You’ to the Parent Council who helped us to buy new reading books. There was a wide range of books purchased for all learners across the school. We added extra copies of popular collections and added new fiction and non-fiction titles too.

Today our champs joined in with Wear It Green Day for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek remembering – It’s okay not to be okay!
Recently we had a Capturing Calderwood Day, gathering evidence about learning, teaching and assessment. One of our pupil council children shared ‘Our champions help us feel our learning in our heart’.
Thank you to Broxburn Primary for joining us.
You can see some of the evidence in the Sway below.

Yesterday Bramble and Bluebell clans had a visit from Louise at Dogs Trust. The children had a fantastic time learning about the important work that Dogs Trust do to help dogs find their forever homes.
During the visit, the children had the opportunity to compare human senses to dog senses, which was a fun and educational experience for all. They learned about how dogs perceive the world around them differently from us, which helped to deepen their understanding and empathy towards our furry friends.
The children also received valuable lessons on how to keep themselves safe around dogs, ensuring both the children and the animals feel comfortable and secure in each other’s presence.
Our visitors were very impressed with the children’s listening skills and their effective contribution to discussions. Well Done, Bramble and Bluebell!
