Happy New Year! One week in and it feels like we have never been away from our Calderwood home. It has been lovely to start the new year, with new families joining us. We have had a smooth transition back to Calderwood life and next week, we look forward to all our interventions timetables fully starting, ensuring we support and challenge all of our children.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Burton

Fallow House Party 13th Jan

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.

Leg it to Lapland Challenge

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!
