FAO: Primary 2-4 families who were at Calderwood Primary last session

Dear parent/carer,

Now that we have almost completed our enrolments for 2022/23, we will begin to move on our Seesaw accounts to new clans.

Primary 4 children, will begin to learn how to use Teams to profile their learning and their Seesaw accounts will be achieved. You can download your child’s profile by clicking on the ‘Print PDF’ option on your child’s journal. This will allow you to print or save your child’s profile, please do this by Friday 26th August.

Primary 2-3 children, your child’s profile will continue, but you may wish to also download their profile, to have one for each year/ clan. You will continue to use the same log in.

Primary 1s and new families to Primary 1-3 will be issued with their logs in over the next week or two.

Kind regards,

Miss Burton

Rannoch Clan – Multiplication and Division

Rannoch clan have been learning about the different strategies we can use when multiplying and dividing such as making arrays, repeated addition/subtraction, skip counting and making equal groups.

This week, we explored the relationship between multiplication and division. We created arrays, using different items, to show multiplication calculations and learnt that if we swap the numbers round, we get the same answer. We explored even further and found that we could use the same array to find division facts. This led us to exploring fact families. We built arrays and found all the multiplication and division facts related to them and put these into our fact family houses.

We realised that a fact family is made up of 3 numbers and that we can solve division calculations if we know the related multiplication facts. This might help us to solve division calculations more quickly.

Bring Your Own Device- P4s Tay and Rannoch

At Calderwood, digital technologies is at the heart of our curriculum as we believe it is a fundamental tool for supporting learning and providing pupils with the skills for life, learning and work. Therefore, we would like to offer the Primary 4s from Tay and Rannoch the opportunity to participate in ‘Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)’, where the pupils are permitted to bring their own personal device in to school to support their learning in the classroom.

The P4s from Tay and Rannoch have been discussing BYOD at school by exploring the risks and benefits for their learning. The pupils and champions have collectively created a BYOD charter that highlights the rules and expectations of using your own device. The pupils have also created a video to further explain what BYOD is and to demonstrate the rules that must be followed. Please take some time to read the charter and video we have created with your child. The video can be accessed through this link:

If you would like your child to participate in the BYOD programme, please fill out the form below by Wednesday 18th May 2022. Please get in touch if you have any questions regarding the BYOD programme.

Rannoch Clan Writing

Writing – The Naughty Troll

Rannoch clan were shocked this week to find that one of their learning spaces was extremely messy and Mrs Scobie showed them a picture of the school playground with lots of litter lying around in it. Mrs Scobie suggested that it might have been a cheeky troll that was up to mischief and caused the mess. We decided that we needed to catch the troll so that this didn’t happen again. In groups, we used different materials to create troll traps. Once we made our trolls traps we decided to use this for the subject of our shared story writing. Our whole clan worked together to plan and write a story about ‘The Naughty Troll’. We made sure that we followed the correct structure of a story which we had learnt about earlier in the week. We also edited our story as we went along, changing words to make our story more interesting. We wrote a fantastic story together. We have shared it here to let you enjoy it too.
