This week we launched our Calderwood Can Certificates, for those children who have went above and beyond or for achievements in learning.
Congratulations everyone!
Calderwood joined many schools across West Lothian to take part in West Lothian Running week as organised by Active Schools.
The children used apps and measuring tools to measure out the distance for their clan:
P1 Pupils – 100m
P2 Pupils – 200m
P3 Pupils – 400m
P4 Pupils – 600m
P5 Pupils – 800m
P6 Pupils – 900m
P7 Pupils – 1km
Our Ben Clans advertised the event.

The children below placed in the top 15, across all schools, for their age. A huge congratulations to them all!
Today a member of our Ben Lomond Clan had the special privilege of announcing the start of the Sumdog Maths Competition to all our Clans during our Calderwood Connects.
This Competition is open to all primary aged children in West Lothian Council. It began today (26.11.21) and will run until Thursday 2nd December. All members of our Calderwood Community can access Sumdog by clicking here and using their unique username and password. Our School Code is calderwood2.
Within minutes of the competition opening we had a member of our Ben Lawers Clan on the leader board! We very much hope this was the start of a very exciting trend for our Calderwood Community – good luck and happy competing.

Today all the Clans had the opportunity to get outdoors, braving the rain, and plant bulbs. We were really excited to spend time with different Clans – Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond should be so proud of the support they gave to younger children in our community.
We did this to play our part in the nationwide Edina Bulb Project – you can find out a little more about this by clicking here. We were really excited to explore our learning about the needs of a plant even further and cannot wait to see these bulbs begin to sprout in spring!
