Christmas at Calderwood
Tay Clan’s Christmas Craft Sale
Tay clan have been making Christmas baubles for our Christmas craft fundraiser. We got to decide on the creation we wanted to make and what treats we wanted to put inside. Some of our clan have created baubles for their pets. To advertise our Christmas baubles we have created sways. Please take a look at our Sways below.
You can purchase them on Friday 17th December at a price of £2.50 each.
Tay Clan’s Gymnastics Show
To showcase our learning in PE, Tay Clan performed a gymnastics show. The pupils worked in groups to create and perform their own gymnastics routine. They had to make sure their routine included jumps, balances and rolls. Miss Redmond was very impressed to see tricky movements being used such as a pike jump, a teddy bear roll and an arabesque balance. Each group selected their own song for their performance and joined a series of movements together. The pupils shared their routines with the rest of Tay Clan and we gave peer feedback using yellow for yes and green for growth.
There was lots of creativity and confidence being demonstrated by Tay! Miss Redmond was proud to see all the learners trying new things and persevering when movements were challenging! Well done!
Tay Clan should share their routines with family and friends at home. I would love to see you performing these different movements in safe and new places!
Launch of Calderwood Careers
This week children in P4-6 were given the opportunity to apply for a Calderwood Career at lunch time, to develop their creativity and leadership skills.
On Friday the children were very excited to receive some training and find out more about their role.
We are all set for our new playground routines on Monday.
Calderwood Can Certificates – 03/12/21
