Come and See Aladdin!

We are going to tell you about Calderwood’s first ever school show, Aladdin. 

Bramble and Bluebell have been practising a lot for their upcoming show. We have been trying really hard with our singing, dancing and acting so we can do our very best for our show. We can’t wait to perform in front of our parents and school and show them all of the new skills we have learned. 

At the Scottish celebration, P5 raised over £200 we were so happy we got all the money from the raffle. We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated items. With your help we have been able to buy face paint, costume and props to make our show even better. 

You should buy tickets to see the show for yourself. It will take place in the Arena on Monday 11th March at 2pm and Wednesday 13th March at 6pm.Tickets are £2 and will be on sale via iPay on 29th February. Get your tickets quick to make sure you don’t miss out. You will be amazed! 

We are proud of ourselves and our teachers for helping us create this show just for you.

Litter Pickers in the community.

During the February break- a group of 6 local children completed some litter picking in the local area- on one of the streets close to school (Cameron Gardens) which had been impacted by a lot of rubbish!

There was some amazing feedback regarding the six pupils. They gathered the rubbish with such enthusiasm and they managed to fill 12 rubbish bins of litter!!
This was also reported on the Calderwood Facebook page and received lots of praise from the local residents.

Aberdeen’s Budget Challenge

Aberdeen Clan have been learning to recognise money and its value. After discussing the difference between needs and wants, we worked in groups to create our own shops. We had to consider how best to market our products including different pricing strategies. After some window shopping, we were set a budget and had to work out if we had enough money to buy the items on our wish list! We worked out how much more money we would need or if we would receive any change.
