Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond Leavers’ Celebration
Our Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond clans came together on the morning of the 26th June to celebrate their time at Primary School with their families.
The children chose to do an “Oscars” themed celebration and shared successes and achievements through giving each other awards.
Thank you to our Parent Council, who funded the gift of a personalised keyring for every child in Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond – we really appreciate this gesture.
The children gave a fantastic performance for their final Connects and we wish them the best of luck as they move on to High School!
Calderwood Play Rationale
Please find below our rationale for our play pedagogy across Primary 1 and Primary 2.
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

End of Term Collection
If your child has any medication in school please collect at the school office before end of day on Friday 28th June. If it is not collected, it will be destroyed.
A medication letter reminder has been sent to those pupils who don’t have an inhaler in school, as these can now be kept securely in school over the summer. If you wish to collect any inhalers, please get in touch with the school office.
August: Medication Drop off
Miss Connor will be in school on Thursday 8th August 12noon to 4pm and Friday 9th August from 8am-12noon if you wish to drop off medication for the year ahead, get updated photos taken for any allergies and complete new paperwork where required.

Clan Championships: Indoor Update
Dear parent/ carer,
Due to ongoing rainfall this weekend and with further rain forecast, we have made the advance decision to hold our Clan Championships indoors tomorrow (Monday 17th June) with no parents or carers attending.
Pupils can wear house colours as planned and will take part with their clans in the Arena.
As no parents or carers can attend, we will share a Sway through our Blog and twitter feed to keep you updated.
This will hopefully help to ensure parents/ carers don’t waste a days leave.
Thanks
Miss Connor
