Well done to the 8 boys and 8 girls from P7 that ran at the Livingston South P7 Cross Country at Bankton Mains Park. Both the girls and boys team came in 1st place and will now compete at the West Lothian P7 Cross Country in November. A special mention to Poppy who came 3rd overall in the girls race and finished on the podium. Well done team!
5 Calderwood Pupils participated in the SSSA qualifier at Polmont on Monday 6th October. They all had a brilliant morning and worked so well together as a team to represent their school. They came 4th Overall in their category, narrowly missing 3rd place by 1 second! For our first team outing, we are incredibly proud of them all and encouraged by such a strong start. The 5 who raced have quickly picked up the racing bug and cannot wait to take part in the next event. More information will be shared in the coming weeks about skiing opportunities for pupils at Calderwood. Thank you to the parents for organising this.

On Tuesday, Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers went on an exciting trip to Foxlake Adventures in Dunbar for a leavers’ trip. P7 worked on team building and resilience, while tackling the inflatable aqua park. We had a fantastic time and lots of fun! We would like to say a big thank you to Miss Stark for organising and our parent helper for accompanying us.
We are so proud of our wonderful Stag Squad, who took part in the Scottish Primary School Glee Challenge Edinburgh and Lothians Sectionals at Central Hall in Edinburgh on Thursday the 18th of April. The Stag Squad were competing against 6 other amazing choirs.
Tummel, Tay, Rannoch, Leven and the P2s from Linlithgow had the best day at Almond Valley this week. We learned all about shale and the mining that used to happen in West Lothian. We saw lots of animals and learned about their habitat and what they eat. We also had lots of fun in the park. Thank you to all the adults who helped us on our trip. 
The Bens had a phenomenal opportunity to take a trip to the newly-opened National Robotarium. Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers had the most amazing day being ambassadors for our school, showing off their robotics and coding knowledge, and exploring new AI technologies.
Please see the Sway created by Ben Lomond all about their trip:
