Common Cold Study -Elvis Kids

Recently, it was published evidence that nasal irrigation with salt water helped reduce the cold in adults. We have also shown the mechanism for how salt water helps with the common cold when applied on the nasal epithelium. Our research showed that cells use the chloride from the salt water to fight viral infections.  Hence, we are now testing if salt water nose drops helps children fight the cold.

If you have a child under 7 years of age, you may be able to join the fight.

The Children’s Hospital in Edinburgh are doing a study of salt water nose drops to see if it helps get rid of the cold faster.

Your child does not need to have a cold right now to take part!

You can join right now by calling/texting 07973657457 for an appointment to sign up and to be taught what to do the next time your child has a cold.

Your child does not need to attend.

Families completing the study will receive travel expenses and a £30 voucher to compensate for any inconvenience.

House and Vice Captain Election 2022

This morning we had another moment in history for Calderwood Primary as we had our first ever house election!

We gathered together in our houses and listed to the Primary 7 children who wanted to be our house and vice captains.

The manifestos from each of the children where fantastic! They had to prepare a 3-5minute speech which included including the following information:

  • Some information about yourself and your interests inside and outside of school
  • 3 values which are important to you and why
  • 2 things you want to improve while you are house captain – why do you want to change them and how will you do this
  • What you see the role of house captains being at Calderwood
  • Why you feel Calderwood Primary is unique.

Our Health and Wellbeing Hub – Name Reveal!!

Over the past few months our Equity Champions have been working hard to design and create a health and wellbeing hub (a space which all pupils would have access to at times during their time at Calderwood).

Our Mini HWB Champs launched a whole school competition to create a name for this space.

We had lots of great suggestions of names! However, our mini champs decided on one they felt captured Calderwood most…. in true Calderwood style with all C’s!

At Calderwood Connects our Mini HWB Champs announced the winning name.

THE WINNING NAME WAS………
