Dogs Trust Visit Bramble and Bluebell

Yesterday Bramble and Bluebell clans had a visit from Louise at Dogs Trust. The children had a fantastic time learning about the important work   that Dogs Trust do to help dogs find their forever homes.

During the visit, the children had the opportunity to compare human senses to dog senses, which was a fun and educational experience for all. They learned about how dogs perceive the world around them differently from us, which helped to deepen their understanding and empathy towards our furry friends.

The children also received valuable lessons on how to keep themselves safe around dogs, ensuring both the children and the animals feel comfortable and secure in each other’s presence.

Our visitors were very impressed with the children’s listening skills and their effective contribution to discussions. Well Done, Bramble and Bluebell!

  

   

   

“Hope” Anti-Bullying Production

Calderwood Primary had a visit from “Take Away Theatre” last month, who performed “Hope”, an anti-bullying production, to our P4-7 clans.  P4 and P6 clans also participated in follow-up workshops.  The performance was delivered by professional actors and was thought-provoking and entertaining for the children.  The children were captivated throughout the performance.  The workshops for P4 and P6 clans provided the opportunity for the children to explore the issues raised in the performance in greater depth.  Through Health and Wellbeing lessons, children also completed activities in clan related to the performance.

Maths Week Scotland – F1 Data for our Clans

The children in Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers, Thistle and Schiehallion and Bluebell and Bramble were given the exciting task of reading, sorting and analysing data with Formula 1 as a focal point. Through a series of rounds the children competed in groups against one another to gain points – these points then propelled them around the racetrack (or sent them off the track!).

Massive thank you to the University of Edinburgh and their F1 Data in Schools team for this support.

Ultimately this led to one team’s vistory for their year group!
