Community Information: Appeals for Ukraine
Some advice from our Parent Council
Many parents have been in touch looking to see what we can do to support and help those in need in Ukraine.
We want to be sensitive with drawing attention to this, with some children whose families would rather not make them aware of what is going on as it would cause distress, however there are still many ways in which families can help.
If you would like to help please find below some links that may be useful.

Big Walk and Wheel Event
Dear Parent/Carer,
Please see below information about the Big Walk and Wheel Event Calderwood Primary and Nursery will take part in from 21st March – 1st April.
Reminders
Dear parent/ carer,
I hope you had a lovely weekend, just a wee email with a few updates and reminders.
Outdoor shoes
A lot of our children are keen to play on the grass areas which can be muddy and damp at times. A gentle reminder that if your child wants to play in this area they should have a pair of outdoor shoes (that they can keep in school) – wellies or old trainers with a change of socks. This will help ensure they are comfortable during clan time and prolong the life of our carpets.
Planting – Wednesday 16th March
Miss Christie has organised a Super Spud planting session through RHET on Wednesday. All clans will take part in this, please ensure your child has outdoor shoes to change into, a warm jacket and it might be advisable to wear comfy bottoms – like what they wear on P.E days.

If you are sharing your photos on Twitter, please don’t put your child’s name on the tweet. It is okay to add the clan name. This will help keep everyone safe.
Tempest Photos: Clans: 24th March
On 24th March Tempest will take official group photos of our clans for you to purchase. Please ensure your child is wearing school uniform on that day and not P.E kit. They take their shoes off for the photo, so their socks will be on display.
Have a lovely week!
Kind regards,
Miss Burton
