Bluebell & Bramble Request

Bluebell and Bramble Clans have a castle in their learning space as part of their Scotland interdisciplinary theme for learning.

We would like to ask families if they could donate any of the following for our castle learning area:

2 chairs to use as thrones
Any spare material for making the thrones/table cover
Any suitable dressing up costumes e.g Knights, princesses etc
Anything that can be used to make a banquet table e.g plastic cups, plastic fruit etc

If you have any of these items that you could donate to the school, please send them in with your child or drop off at the office.

Thanks in advance for you help!

Scottish Poetry Calderwood Competition

As part of our Scottish focus for learning and Burns Day on 25th January the children are participating in a Poetry Recital Competition and have taken home a range of Scottish Poems. The children should choose one poem to learn. The children should learn the poem by heart and use the following success criteria. All children should learn their poem however this is no expectation that they need to recite it in front of the clan if they feel uncomfortable. They also have the option to film their recital, do it to the teacher privately, or as a group. As you will see below, some clans have the same option of poem – this is as these classes are working within the same Curriculum for Excellence level and allows for differentiation. In clan qualifying recitals will take place on Friday 21st January and finals will take place on Friday 28th January (these will be filmed for your viewing).

First Level Success Criteria:
