- A huge well done to Bramble Clan for their Connects today on Road Safety, this was an important message for us at Calderwood, helping us to be safe in our community.
- Calderwood Ski Team: A huge congratulations to Aaron, Ruairidh and Niamh who travelled to Sunderland to compete in the NSSA school race and placed third in the mixed teams category. It was extremely competitive, so we are super proud of them all especially as this is only their second school race.

P1 Curriculum Evening
Here are the two power points from our P1 Curriculum Evening on Tuesday 28th October.
Calderwood P1 playful pedagogy:
What P1 curriculum looks like:
P7 Cross Country
Well done to the 8 boys and 8 girls from P7 that ran at the Livingston South P7 Cross Country at Bankton Mains Park. Both the girls and boys team came in 1st place and will now compete at the West Lothian P7 Cross Country in November. A special mention to Poppy who came 3rd overall in the girls race and finished on the podium. Well done team!
Calderwood Ski Team
5 Calderwood Pupils participated in the SSSA qualifier at Polmont on Monday 6th October. They all had a brilliant morning and worked so well together as a team to represent their school. They came 4th Overall in their category, narrowly missing 3rd place by 1 second! For our first team outing, we are incredibly proud of them all and encouraged by such a strong start. The 5 who raced have quickly picked up the racing bug and cannot wait to take part in the next event. More information will be shared in the coming weeks about skiing opportunities for pupils at Calderwood. Thank you to the parents for organising this.
