Triple P helps parents:

· Set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows

· Encourage behaviour you like

· Take care of yourself as a parent

Summer Social Story

To support our pupils over the summer holiday, here is a social story for the summer holidays.

If you require a visual calendar to support over the weeks, one has been created for July/August:

East Calder Community Listening Project

Our nurturing spaces

This year, through the participatory budget, our children chose to buy items to design their own nurturing space within their clan. This is a safe space that would be accessible to all pupils when they need it. Some clans chose to create a sensory space, others chose to make a comfortable seating area. All nurturing spaces are used to support children to self-regulate, they chose items which were calming including lights, comfortable cushions, tents, and activities such as sensory/fidget toys or books.

Community Cupboard Donations

We have recently started up our ‘Community Cupboard’ at Calderwood to support our families and community. As part of this, we have been growing our partnerships to help support and build our community cupboard stock.

We are now open to receive donations for our school. We are interested in collecting dried foods, non-perishable goods and any toiletries.

If you are able, please send these items in with your child for our dress down day. We are looking for an item per family NOT per child.

If you feel you could benefit from our community cupboard, please contact the office and ask for one of the ‘Equity Champs’ to get in touch. There is also a discrete online form you can complete and someone will get in touch with you.
