Primary 1’s First Day at Calderwood!

A huge warm welcome to our Primary 1 pupils who joined our Calderwood Family today. We want you to know, they all had a fantastic first day filled with fun, laughter and lots of smiles. They played with old friends and new friends, had a lovely lunch and enjoyed time with their champions. Not even the rain dampened our spirits! They took great pride in their Calderwood Couture and we look forward to sharing some special photos with you later in the week of this special moment in time.

Thank you for your participation in the transition events leading up to the big day! This ensured that we were ready to for the children arriving into the clans.

World Book Day!

Today we had great fun in Calderwood Primary School celebrating World Book Day. To spread the love of reading even further your child will have a £1 book token which you can find out more about by clicking here.

To celebrate World Book Day, the Ben Clans were able to be reading buddies with Mull, Orkney and Shetland Clans. The younger children became authors this morning as they wrote all about space. This fun was shared by the older children too, they were given time to free-write and could share this with their buddies later in the day.

Mull Clan, Bens Lawers and Ben Lomond:

Orkney, Bens Lawers and Ben Lomond

Shetland, Bens Lawers and Ben Lomond

In Ness and Rannoch Clan the children have been learning about different setting in books. To celebrate World Book Day they searched the libraries to find books with different setting and then used new and exciting adjectives to describe the settings they found.
