Capturing Calderwood: Learning, Teaching & Assessment: May 2024

Recently we had a Capturing Calderwood Day, gathering evidence about learning, teaching and assessment. One of our pupil council children shared ‘Our champions help us feel our learning in our heart’.

Thank you to Broxburn Primary for joining us. 

You can see some of the evidence in the Sway below.

Dogs Trust Visit Bramble and Bluebell

Yesterday Bramble and Bluebell clans had a visit from Louise at Dogs Trust. The children had a fantastic time learning about the important work   that Dogs Trust do to help dogs find their forever homes.

During the visit, the children had the opportunity to compare human senses to dog senses, which was a fun and educational experience for all. They learned about how dogs perceive the world around them differently from us, which helped to deepen their understanding and empathy towards our furry friends.

The children also received valuable lessons on how to keep themselves safe around dogs, ensuring both the children and the animals feel comfortable and secure in each other’s presence.

Our visitors were very impressed with the children’s listening skills and their effective contribution to discussions. Well Done, Bramble and Bluebell!

  

   

   

Business Ambassador Visit

Primary 7 have been taking part in the Green Skills Circular Economy Challenge. Each group has been working hard to create a sustainable product/service which  follows the Circular Economy principles. After working on creating the perfect business pitch, we were kindly visited by our Conor Gray from Morrison Construction, who listened to our pitches and gave us feedback. We will now be continuing to improve our pitches, in preparation for the final competition.
