Today we were delighted to host the Primary Science Development Officers from authorities across Scotland. They were all given a tour of our school building and heard all about the amazing STEM learning which is going on every day at Calderwood Primary School!

Request for items for UPCYCLING CRAFT STALL at C in the Park

The Bens have decided to run an upcycling craft stall for C in the Park and are looking for some items that you may have lying around and no longer use.

The items that we are looking for include:

-Old nail polishes

-Plastic take away tubs

-Used or unwanted art sets with acrylic paints, glass paint, paintbrushes etc

-Unwanted strings of beads, jewelry, used or unwanted jewelry making sets

-White or cream tiles from 95mm x 95mm to 150mmx150mm

-Clear varnish

Any small items can be sent in with your child and brought along the Ben Lawers or dropped off at office, making clear what the items are for.

Jubilee Celebrations

A gentle reminder that the children can dress up/down in party clothes tomorrow (2^nd June) to celebrate our Jubilee Lunch for a small donation.

Ben Lomond’s Cross Country Challenge

The West Calder High School Cluster Cross Country Competition took place on 24th May 2022 and saw the children from Ben Lomond Clan take on 1.3km of undulating terrain. All the children in this Clan completed the race, hit the targets they had set for themselves and showed huge positivity throughout.

The results are in and we are delighted to announce that a child from Ben Lomond Clan came first in the Boys Race! As a result, they will be attending the Pan-West Lothian event next session to compete against the winners of the other Primary School Clusters.

Many thanks to Kat Stark and all at Active Schools West Calder for organising the event and supporting us on the day.
