Calderwood Connects – Calderwood Primary and Nursery

Aberdeen Clan Connects – 15.09.2026

Yesterday afternoon, Aberdeen Clan came together to share their learning with their families through their Clan Connects.

The children told us all about “Music Through the Decades”. They did an amazing presentation and we were treated to some amazing singing and even some piano playing from one of our learners!

The children have already learned so much in a short space of time and we are so proud of each and every one them.

Aberdeen Clan then spent some time with their adults, sharing more of their learning from the term so far.

Thank you to all parents and carers who were able to come along to support Aberdeen Clan yesterday afternoon.

House Captain Elections

Yesterday was an exciting day in school as we held our first House Meeting for our House Captain elections!

It was fantastic to see the children proudly wearing their house colours and getting involved in the election process. Our Primary 7 candidates did a brilliant job delivering their presentations, sharing their ideas and explaining why they would make great House Captains.

The children in each house then had the opportunity to cast their votes, and we were delighted to announce our successful House Captain candidates at Connects today. A huge well done to you all!

A special thank you also goes to our Primary 7 pupils and especially to our Calderwood Chiefs, who helped to support our younger pupils throughout the meetings and voting process. Your leadership and care for others were fantastic to see.

We are looking forward to seeing our new House and Vice Captains grow into their roles and make a positive contribution to our school community.
