Scholastic Book Fair at Calderwood

On Monday 26th to Friday 30th September we will have the Scholastic Book Fair in our school. This will be held in the discovery den where a selection of fiction and non-fiction books will be on offer. All pupils will get the chance to visit the book fair with their clan during the school day between Monday-Wednesday. This is an opportunity for the pupils to explore and browse the different books that are available. All books can be purchased during our Champion Meetings in school on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th September.

Important Information

Books can only be purchased on the evening of our Champion Meetings.
The book fair will be held in our discovery den.
Books should be paid for online by scanning the QR code at the Book Fair. You should complete the online payment system and show your receipt to the champions hosting the fair.
If a book has sold out or is unavailable, extra copies can be ordered and paid for on the night of the book fair. These will then be delivered to the school and handed out to the pupils.
Pupils will get the chance to browse the books before the Champion Meetings and let you know of any books they like.

How does the book fair help Calderwood?

Every book purchased at the fair gives Calderwood Primary School rewards. These rewards allow us to get books for our school!

Ben Lomond Fundraiser – 30th September

Message from Ben Lomond

As part of our context for learning Ben Lomond Clan have planned and organised a fundraiser for 30th September to raise funds for Primary 7, this includes:

Purchasing Leavers Hoodies
P7 celebration events; such as a meal out to celebrate the end of Primary
All things Primary 7

So far we have been very lucky that local businesses, including Linwater Caravan Park, Stirling Developments and Taylor Wimpey have also contributed to the Primary 7 fundraising.

On the day, the clans can take part in timetabled events which you can see in the poster below.

The suggested donations for some of the activities are:

Soak the P7’s: £1 per throw
Brick a Brack and home baking: 5p-£1 donation

If you would like to contribute, please remember to give your child some change on Friday 30th September – 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p,£1 (unfortunately no change can be given). Alternatively, you can make donations through iPay impact by clicking on funds and selecting P7 Fundraiser, this account will open on 22nd – 30th September.

On this day children can also dress down, (please remember no football tops or crop tops).

All children will have the opportunity to take part in the event, the suggestion of a donation is not compulsory.

Also, on the day we are offering a champion car wash. We would appreciate it, if you could follow any cones and signs placed in the playground on 30th September.

There is still the opportunity to donate any brik a brack until 26th September.

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Tyler (and the rest of Ben Lomond)

Remembering Queen Elizabeth II

Today, across our clans we took some time to reflect on this moment in history and celebrate the life of Queen Elizabeth. Some clans made pictures of her, discussed what she did for the United Kingdom and beyond, wrote poems and reflected on her achievements.

Some of the older clans also watched a Newsround clip.
