What a fantastic start to term 4 for Thistle Clan!
We have got straight in to exploring our Cultivating Calderwood Focus. Have a little look at our journey so far
In PE we have been investigating cross country running, spot us developing our stamina, endurance, pace and strength here:
In Literacy we have been investigating information reports. We have had a go at our cold piece, remembering what we knew from last year. We then marked this against our targets and got to work investigating the key language features of an information text. Once this was done we used our notes from reading to build a plan as a whole clan and then write a model piece all together. This will now help us as we begin to write with more independence.
Calderwood Basketball
What a year it has been for our very first Basketball Teams. We have been lucky enough to have not just ONE but TWO teams competing this year – KNICKS & LAKERS
Mrs Morrison and Mrs Robertson have been so proud of how every team member has developed throughout this past year. We have demonstrated fantastic teamwork and an abundance of core basketball skills. Through participating in our conferences at WCHS and Armadale Academy, we have also been able to demonstrate excellent sportsmanship, resilience and utter determination.
Our Knicks have one final conference to attend and will hopefully progress onto the silver playoff weeks – GO KNICKS!
Thank you to all parents who have come along to support us over these past few months!
Thistle 31.3.23
What a fantastic term we have had in Thistle. Our Engineering focus has been so much fun and you can follow our lesson and journey here:
We have also really enjoyed learning all our new skills in Basketball. We have developed our triple threat, defence tactics and applied them all to games. Check out our progress here:
We are also all so grateful for all your donations, we began our planting journey this week and hope to continue this after the spring holiday.
