Calderwood Ski Team – Glencoe Ski Event

Niamh (bluebell clan) took on her first ever race on snow at a school ski event at Glencoe. This was a daunting race for her as not only was it her first time racing on snow but she was representing the school on her own. Added to this Niamh was also bib number 1 meaning she was first out of all the primary aged kids to run the race course. We are delighted to say she over came the challenge and managed to secure third place for the females in P1-4 category. Well done Niamh!

WOW Badge Design Winners

WOW have launched their badge design and this year’s theme is Walk the Senses – we wanted pupils to tell us what they see, hear, smell, taste or feel as they walk or wheel to school. That might be the sound of birds singing, the smell of flowers or a tasty snack eaten on the way to school. Or it could be the feel of raindrops or snow on their skin – or spotting a rainbow in the sky!  Our JRSO’s had the unenviable task of choosing 3 winners for Calderwood Primary School. Here are the winners whose design will now be entered into WOW’s badge design competition.

Well done and good luck to…

  • Parking: We would request if you are choosing to use the car park, please use it safely and be mindful of the no parkingareas which are there to help ensure that all of our children are safe when crossing the road. The cones along Nethershiel Road are to note a no parking area.
  • Communication: A reminder to parents/ carers that if they have an issue or concern to please raise this directly with the school so that it can be addressed and resolved.
  • Connects: This week we held daily bitesize online Connects reminding each other how to be ready, responsible and safe as we move around the school, playground and cafĂ©. We would appreciate it if you could also have these conversations with your child at home, which includes:
    • Putting their litter in the bin
    • Respecting and caring for school resources and spaces
    • Positively communicating with others; please, thank you, good morning, etc
    • Walking calmly indoors/ lining up calmly at the end of break and lunch times
  • Change of clothes: A reminder that in younger clans, you may wish to send your child in with a change of clothes for accidents.
  • Playground: Following our Parent Council meeting I have asked West Lothian Council for support and advice around our playground concerns and will update families when we have further information. In the meantime, I would recommend children keeping outdoor shoes in their cloakroom space and if your child does enjoy playing in these areas, to send them in with a change of clothes. On the days when we have wet weather we do encourage children not to play in the mud, and we would appreciate your support with this please.
  • Positive Relationships Policy: You can find our Positive Relationships Policy Here and Anti Bullying Policy Our Parent Council and leadership had been working together to make more parent and child friendly version of these documents, including a flow chart of processes.
