After School Sports Clubs

Now that COVID-19 guidance for schools has changed, we are excited that after school sport clubs run by Active Schools and Local Clubs will commence on week beginning 21st February and run for 6 weeks.

The clubs were allocated on a first come first saved basis. If your child has received/not received a place in an after school club they will receive a letter today (9.2.22) with further information.

P1-3 children can wear their P.E. kit to school and P4-6 children should bring their P.E. kit to change into.

Parents should collect their child at 4:05pm outside the main school entrance & office. If possible, they should also wear a mask.

Scottish Poetry Recital Clan Competition

Our children have been busy learning their Scots and Burns poems the past two weeks, at home and school. Today the children who wanted to enter the clan competition recited their poem for their clan. Congratulations to all our children who recited their poems, their was a real buzz of excitement across Calderwood!

 

The clans then had a secret vote for who they thought should represent their clan at the Calderwood competition, they used the success criteria to help with this. Tay clan used an online form for their votes.

Congratulations to our clan competitions! These children will represent their clan in the Calderwood Poetry Recital next Friday which will have a panel of judges.

The children were also very excited to make a phone call home to share their news!
