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:

  • Tap profile in top left
  • Account settings
  • Scroll down to the bottom and click download archived journal
Or:
  • You should be able to highlight all the files
  • Right clicking and choosing print then choosing Print to PDF from the dialogue box

Primary 1: August Family Science workshops

In partnership with the Royal Society of Chemistry, who have provided funding, Miss Connor is offering our new Primary 1 families the opportunity to take part in a Science workshop together when they start Calderwood Primary.
The workshop will allow for one pupil with one adult to carry out practical science learning together for 1 hour on a Friday after school. There are a number of dates/times available through August and September.
Please choose ONE date that you and your child can attend (pupils must attend with an adult, they cannot stay on their own). The form is here: https://forms.office.com/e/q9jsWDjGr8
There will be a maximum of 20 pupils (with their adult) attend each workshop as it is a practical session, dates will be removed once they are full. This is an exciting chance to be involved in your child’s science journey.

Capturing Calderwood: Learning, Teaching & Assessment: May 2024

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.

Glasgow Science Centre Learning Lab

On Wednesday 1st May, Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers were visited by the Glasgow Science Centre Learning Lab. We learned about different types of energy sources and took part in a number of exciting experiments. We then got to take part in our own investigations into different types of renewable energy. We would like to say a big thank you to Morrisons Construction, who kindly funded this experience for our Primary 7’s.

Be an Engineer: Dragons Den

A huge well done to all the pupils who took part in our Dragon’s Den event today. Our overall winners are children from:

Early Level: Ness Clan

First Level:  Leven Clan

Second Level: Ben Lawers

Our Dragons had a difficult decision for every level. They commented on the confident individuals who presented and pupils showed success in their learning.

Our Dragons were from Morrison construction, Education Scotland STEM team and Heriot Watt Engineering department. A big thank you to them for their time.

Schiehallion and Thistle – Ocean Literacy Trip

On Tuesday 26th March 2024 Schiehallion and Thistle Clans had our second visit to Heriot-Watt University – we explored the University as a whole (including lecture theatres!), the National Robotarium and even spent time in the Oriam with an inflatable whale.

 

During the visit we learned all about Ocean Literacy and what happens when litter enters our waterways. We also had time with Whale experts and learned more about how robots can be used to film and interact with animals in their natural habitat.

 

Below are a number of pieces of learning inspired by our trip and photos of our trip:
