Calderwood Play Rationale

Please find below our rationale for our play pedagogy across Primary 1 and Primary 2.

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.

For families who where at Calderwood Primary in 2022-23 we will archive those clans on Friday 19th July. This means you have 25 days to download their journal from their previous clan. You need access to a netbook, laptop or computer to do this and can do this as explained below:

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.
