Seesaw in Primary 1 – 3

A remember to our Primary 1-3 families, our champions are using Seesaw to profile your child’s learning journey, therefore you will be able to view more information about what your child is learning through the app.

We would encourage you to like to the post, so the champion can see you have read it and feel free to leave a comment.

The video below shares some advice on how you can use Seesaw at home.

Chefs @ Calderwood

This week Rannoch Clan worked alongside Ness and Tay to begin our new IDL learning.  First of all, we had a feel in Mrs Scobie’s big bag and described what we felt inside it, using interesting adjectives.  Inside the bag were different cooking items and we learnt what we would use them for.

In the next few weeks we are going to learn about food and develop our culinary skills to become cooking champions and the finest chefs in Calderwood.

Our first task was to complete our chef ID cards.  We watched a video and then afterwards reflected on the skills and qualities that a chef might have.  We wrote our names and drew our faces on our own ID cards.  We also wrote our favourite food and our current cooking skills.

We then wrote down 3 things that we would like to achieve and develop through our learning about food. Hopefully over the coming weeks we can get better at cooking and maybe help out at home.

Internet Safety Week

L.I  I am learning how to develop healthy and respectful relationships online.

As it was internet safety week, Rannoch clan learned about how to develop healthy and respectful relationships online.  We discussed in groups, what kindness looks like, feels like and sounds like online, why it matters and what we can do if someone is being hurtful online.

We made a looks like, feels like and sounds like grid to put up in our clan room which included all our ideas.  We can refer back to this when needed.  We then looked at unkind comments and tried to find a way to change these so that they are acceptable to share online.  Finally, we played a game on google called ‘interland’ and explored the kind kingdom level.  This game aims to help children to stay safe and be kind online.  We picked up some helpful hints on how to be kind online.
