Calderwood Goes Planting!
Today all the Clans had the opportunity to get outdoors, braving the rain, and plant bulbs. We were really excited to spend time with different Clans – Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond should be so proud of the support they gave to younger children in our community.
We did this to play our part in the nationwide Edina Bulb Project – you can find out a little more about this by clicking here. We were really excited to explore our learning about the needs of a plant even further and cannot wait to see these bulbs begin to sprout in spring!
Running Week at Calderwood
Click Here for our Promo Video!
This week is WL Running Week. Our partner Active Schools have set us a challenge to complete a running race of various distances. Our results will be shared across West Lothian up against the other schools.
We’ve also been working on these 3 challenge questions to stimulate our interest in running and its benefits.
- How can we promote our Running Event?
- How can we record / measure our runs – any digital ideas?
- What makes an effective runner?
Click the Sway below to see the launch of Running Week. We will update this Sway throughout the week with any action!

Halloween at Calderwood Social Story
Creepy Calderwood Event
Sumdog in Calderwood
We’re delighted to announce that very soon your child will take home a card detailing their username, password, and school code for Sumdog.
There are some exciting competitions in the not-so-distant future (during which we get the opportunity to try our tenacity against schools in the whole of West Lothian Council) – the first begins on 29th October and ends on 4th November and the second starts on 26th November and ends on 2nd December. We cannot wait to see what Calderwood is made of!
These competitions and Sumdog will be familiar to some but please do read on if you need further information or just fancy a refresher:
Our clans can develop their Calderwood Communicates skills through accessing Grammar and Spelling on Sumdog. They can also explore their Calderwood Counts understanding through challenging themselves in Numeracy and Maths activities. The fun doesn’t stop when the children exit their clans – they are most welcome to explore learning on Sumdog at home using the log in details supplied on their cards; Children will be periodically set tasks by their Champions on Sumdog to complete at home and can also extend and support their learning through free-choice activities.
