Around the World in Bluebell Clan
This term, Bluebell clan are learning about different countries around the world, their climate and their characteristics. This week we have been learning about different types of deserts that can be found. We have used this as the topic for our information report this week, using non-fiction books to gather information to use in our texts. As a clan, we wrote the general statement and evaluation for the reports, ensuring that they included interesting sentence openers and adverbs.
Learners also worked in pairs to create a diorama of different deserts. The clan had the choice to create a hot or a cold desert and used different materials to add texture and colour to their designs.
Around the World with Bramble Clan
We kicked off our exploration by delving into the intricate ecosystem of the Amazon Rainforest. The children have been researching fascinating facts about the rainforest and working on creating informative information reports. They have also had great fun designing and making tribal masks, which have really brought the topic to life for them.
Following our adventures in the Amazon Rainforest, we shifted our focus to the contrasting environment of the desert. We have been exploring how life in the desert differs from life in the rainforest and discussing the unique challenges and adaptations of desert creatures. To bring their learning to life, the children have been working on creating desert dioramas that showcase the key features of a desert habitat.

P6 Cross Country Race
Thistle and Schiehallion clans had a fantastic morning out at the West Calder Cross Country Event at Polbeth United pitches. They supported each other wonderfully and all children completed the race. To top off a brilliant morning, Calderwood Primary Boys were the winning team, coming first in the overall team event! The top 4 boys will have the opportunity to take part in a further Cross Country event when they are in Primary 7. Well done to all!

A group of Primary 3 and 4 pupils have been taking part in our Spring Art Club. We have been working to develop creative skills such as line drawing, mixing paints to create different shades and using chalk pastels to create a variety of different artworks.
Glasgow Science Centre Learning Lab
On Wednesday 1st May, Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers were visited by the Glasgow Science Centre Learning Lab. We learned about different types of energy sources and took part in a number of exciting experiments. We then got to take part in our own investigations into different types of renewable energy. We would like to say a big thank you to Morrisons Construction, who kindly funded this experience for our Primary 7’s.
