To celebrate their final week at Calderwood, the pupils of Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers went for a meal to Nando’s with some of the Calderwood Champions. We had a lovely time, chatting and sharing our memories of the year together. 
Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond Leavers’ Celebration
Our Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond clans came together on the morning of the 26th June to celebrate their time at Primary School with their families.
The children chose to do an “Oscars” themed celebration and shared successes and achievements through giving each other awards.
Thank you to our Parent Council, who funded the gift of a personalised keyring for every child in Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond – we really appreciate this gesture.
The children gave a fantastic performance for their final Connects and we wish them the best of luck as they move on to High School!
Calderwood Play Rationale
Please find below our rationale for our play pedagogy across Primary 1 and Primary 2.
Saving Seesaw Profiles: Primary 1-Primary 3
As Primary 3s move into Primary 4 they will no longer to use Seesaw but will move to Teams, it will take them a few weeks of training on how to use Teams before they start to use it as a journal.
For families who where at Calderwood Primary in 2022-23 we will archive those clans on Friday 19th July. This means you have 25 days to download their journal from their previous clan. You need access to a netbook, laptop or computer to do this and can do this as explained below:
- Tap profile in top left
- Account settings
- Scroll down to the bottom and click download archived journal
Or:
- You should be able to highlight all the files
- Right clicking and choosing print then choosing Print to PDF from the dialogue box
