Burns and Scottish Celebrations at Calderwood
Scottish Contexts for Learning
Scottish Poetry Recital Clan Competition
Our children have been busy learning their Scots and Burns poems the past two weeks, at home and school. Today the children who wanted to enter the clan competition recited their poem for their clan. Congratulations to all our children who recited their poems, their was a real buzz of excitement across Calderwood!
The clans then had a secret vote for who they thought should represent their clan at the Calderwood competition, they used the success criteria to help with this. Tay clan used an online form for their votes.
Congratulations to our clan competitions! These children will represent their clan in the Calderwood Poetry Recital next Friday which will have a panel of judges.
The children were also very excited to make a phone call home to share their news!

Bluebell & Bramble Request
Bluebell and Bramble Clans have a castle in their learning space as part of their Scotland interdisciplinary theme for learning.
We would like to ask families if they could donate any of the following for our castle learning area:
- 2 chairs to use as thrones
- Any spare material for making the thrones/table cover
- Any suitable dressing up costumes e.g Knights, princesses etc
- Anything that can be used to make a banquet table e.g plastic cups, plastic fruit etc
If you have any of these items that you could donate to the school, please send them in with your child or drop off at the office.
Thanks in advance for you help!
