Calderwood Can Certificates
Well done to our Calderwood Can achievers this week! We are so proud of you! ⭐️
World Book Day – Quick & Easy Dress Up Ideas
The best costumes don’t have to cost a fortune! Look for inspiration in dress up boxes or get creative with some bits n bobs from around the house. There are lots of characters from stories that are everyday children in normal clothes. Add a simple prop and that would be enough to suggest who they have decided to dress up as. Why not try to create the book or add a few cut out, painted shapes to an old t shirt.
