After School Sports Clubs

Now that COVID-19 guidance for schools has changed, we are excited that after school sport clubs run by Active Schools and Local Clubs will commence on week beginning 21st February and run for 6 weeks.

The clubs were allocated on a first come first saved basis. If your child has received/not received a place in an after school club they will receive a letter today (9.2.22) with further information.

P1-3 children can wear their P.E. kit to school and P4-6 children should bring their P.E. kit to change into.

Parents should collect their child at 4:05pm outside the main school entrance & office. If possible, they should also wear a mask.

 

Calderwood Nursery – Sharing our Learning

Our nursery groupings have been exploring lots of different learning in their clans, showing curiosity and gaining new experiences.

You can find out more about the learning the children have chosen using the links below. We will continue to update these Sways whilst we are in groupings.

Scottish Poetry Calderwood Competition

As part of our Scottish focus for learning and Burns Day on 25th January the children are participating in a Poetry Recital Competition and have taken home a range of Scottish Poems. The children should choose one poem to learn. The children should learn the poem by heart and use the following success criteria. All children should learn their poem however this is no expectation that they need to recite it in front of the clan if they feel uncomfortable. They also have the option to film their recital, do it to the teacher privately, or as a group. As you will see below, some clans have the same option of poem – this is as these classes are working within the same Curriculum for Excellence level and allows for differentiation. In clan qualifying recitals will take place on Friday 21st January and finals will take place on Friday 28th January (these will be filmed for your viewing).

Buy Ness Clan’s Fantastic Christmas Decorations

Ness Clan have been working very hard to create stained glass decorations. They created their own posters to advertise their product, using persuasive language. They included bossy verbs and boastful adjectives to try to persuade their audience to purchase their products.

Please send in a small donation (suggested: ยฃ2) with your child to purchase their creation on Friday 17th December 2021.
