At Calderwood we currently have a Scottish focus for learning. All clans will participate in a Scottish/Burns Poetry competition in clan. All children will be encouraged to participate in their own way – whether that is filmed, performed to their clan or to their champion on 27th January. The finalists will be put forward to a whole school competition on Friday 3rd February.
Please see below the options of poems the children can choose to learn.

Fallow House were the proud winners of the House Points last term.
Our Primary 6 and 7 Fallow Leaders suggested some types of parties and cast a vote across all children in Fallow House. The overwhelming majority voted for a pyjama party.
This party will take place on Friday 13th January at 9:30am. On this day, if your child is in Fallow house they can come to school dressed in pyjamas or dressed down.
The children have decided they would like cupcakes! They have also planned some fun activities like pyjama corners, musical beds and catch the teddy.
Calderwood Primary School took part in the Sustrans Christmas Challenge, ‘Leg it to Lapland’. This challenge encouraged all pupils to take their journeys to and from school by foot, scooter or bicycle. The charity launched this challenge to help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution around the school. Each day pupils travelled to school during the challenge week they earned ‘one virtual mile’ towards Lapland. Completing 30 mins of other exercise i.e. dancing, scoring goals at football practice or learning some new moves at Taekwondo practice also earned them a virtual mile! Completing other active journeys e.g. walking to football practice also earned them a virtual mile! The school who get the highest number of average miles per pupil will be the winner!
We were very lucky to have Santa and his elves deliver a special prize to a pupil in each clan who had gone over and above during the Leg it to Lapland Challenge week! Well done to all of our pupils!
