Glasgow Institute of Architects Awards

We are super excited to share the news that JM Architects who designed Calderwood Primary & Nursery, have received two awards as shown below.

Children from our Thistle Clan, did an excellent job of showing the judges around our Calderwood home, enthusiastically sharing why we love it so much! At the time, they didn’t realise they were showing around the judges/

Congratulations to JM Architects!

East Calder Scouts Santa Sleigh Event

East Calder Scouts are delighted to bring back our annual Santa sleigh event.
Santa has again kindly agreed to fly through the streets of Calderwood, Linburn, Kirknewton and East Calder, handing out sweets to children.
If you live in the Calderwood area of East Calder or in Linburn Santa will come to you on Sunday 11th December between 4 to 8. You can find this event on Facebook here:https://facebook.com/events/s/santa-sleigh-event-east-calder/2118316608360443/
If you live in Kirknewton or East Calder (not Calderwood area) you can see Santa the day before, on Saturday 10th December between 4pm to 8pm – you can find this event on Facebook here:https://facebook.com/events/s/santa-sleigh-event-kirknewton-/1455805141553049/
We will be making plenty of noise so you will likely hear up coming and you may notice ‘Santa Stop Here’ signs, popping up a few days before.
We are also in tricky negotiations with Santa’s lawyers on whether we can GPS track him this year, so you can see when he’s close to your home. If you show interest on Facebook for an event, we’ll keep you updated on this.
We look forward to seeing you then.
Signed
Santa’s little helper
