Calderwood Connects: Our Clan is a Family
At our Calderwood Connects we discussed our Calderwood Cares approaches to celebrating successes and supporting us with our choices.
You can see some of our responses below:
Dundee Clan – Water Cycle and Money
The Water Cycle
As part of our learning about the Rainforest we explored the Water Cycle. We learnt words such as evaporation, condensation and precipitation. We discussed what each word means and what takes place at each of these points in the cycle. We created a water cycle in a bag experiment and placed it on our clan window. Hopefully we will see the water cycle in action.
Money
We have been learning about money. We have been revising the coins and notes we use, totalling money amounts and making amounts in different ways. We also created our own shops with items and prices displayed and went shopping in each other’s shops, recording items we would like to purchase, noting their cost. We discussed totalling amounts and starting with adding the pounds first and then the pence finding that this was an efficient strategy to use.

Aberdeen Celebrates Diwali
This week, Aberdeen learned about the significance of Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights. We heard the Hindu story of Rama and Sita, discussed its main message, and then made paper lanterns to symbolise the victory of light over darkness. Our special visitors brought with them a selection of items used in their celebration of Diwali and were kind enough to share their family traditions and answer some keen questions! We were even treated to a taste of some traditional coconut ladoo. Thank you for enriching our understanding of this important festival.
Book Week Scotland – Dundee Clan
Dundee clan have had a great week celebrating Book Week Scotland. We made a collaborative poster of ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ which is our class novel and have displayed this in our Discovery Den.
We also enjoyed a visit from a real-life author- Jo Wilcox who shared one of her stories with us.
On Friday, We dressed up as some of our favourite characters from books and enjoyed a book tasting session with our families. We were able to share some of our learning about the rainforest too. We shared our animal factfiles, our rainforest story and our layers of the rainforest flip book.
