Calderwood Can: 11/03/22
Our Ben Lawers and Lomond Clans started British Science Week by organising and teaching a Science Friday Takeover with all our clans.
They nominated children from each clan for a certificate for their contribution and participation in the science tasks!
Congratulations everyone and thank you to our Ben Clans for organising such a successful event.
