The Book Fair Update

Thank you very much for your contributions to the Scholastic Book Fair during our Champion Conversations last week. Due to the purchases made on both nights, we have received a fantastic reward of £961.22 towards new books for our school. This is an amazing opportunity that allows us to develop the reading books and clan libraries across our school. A massive thank you to all for giving Calderwood this fantastic opportunity. We are so excited about the impact this will have on reading across our school community!
Our Rewards
As a school, we are going to investigate and collect data on how our reward money should be spent. Our literacy champions team will work collaboratively with pupils across the school to gain pupils’ and champions’ views on what reading texts and reading genres we would all like to see as part of our learning. We are excited to update you on our journey with this!
Awaiting Orders 
We are aware many of the books at the book fair had to be ordered in from Scholastic. We are still waiting on many of the orders to arrive. As soon as these arrive, all orders will be handed out to the pupils in school. We appreciate your patience with this.

Ben Lomond’s Fundraising Day

 

Ben Lomond have been working incredibly hard over the last few weeks to plan their fundraising event to raise money for their P7 jumpers.

They have taken full responsibility to plan, decision make, calculate costs

and delegate tasks to ensure everything has been covered.

In their own words, here is what they have been up to:

Jude, Aiden & Matthew have been in charge or the games section out in the field. We created a timetable for each class, decided what games the children most wanted to play and picked spaces for them all. We also helped make signs and poster advertisements for the day.

Rosie and Amy have been in charge of Soake the p7  it when you throw a sponge  at a P7 it can be any of the P7s or some teachers. It’s £1 per throw. We had to do market research and source buckets and sponges from the parent council.

Tyler and Zack have been in charge of the Brick-a-Brack stall for the fundraiser. Some of the things that people have brought in are teddy bears, action figures and books. we are very happy with the amount of stuff that has been donated, thank you for bringing things in

Saskia and Jack are in charge of the baking and selling. We have been going around classes to ask what allergies students have. As well as finding the students favourite desserts. We will be following popular demand by selling chocolate cake, cookies, etc.  We have booked the stem room for 2 days prior to the date September 30th to bake. Our favourite part was the market research, where we asked students about their allergies. However, we still need to bake the food, I think we’ll have a good time doing so.

Georgie & Elle: We are in charge of the staff car wash. We needed to write loads of emails, checked where we could do it, decide on price, get some of the teachers registration plate, make a register and make signs. We both really enjoyed organising and planning the car wash.

Lacey, Sanaya & Lexi: We are doing an  arts and craft stall and it will have, Bookmarks, twinkle pictures and a white board task. this stall all for free so everyone can join in. so far we have done some market research, we made a sign and got a list of materials. Thank you for reading this.
I’m sure the day will go down brilliantly, it has been amazing to watch them take ownership of the project.
7 days to go!
