Dundee Trip and Enterprise

Dundee clan’s trip to Dynamic Earth was fantastic!  We enjoyed a tour around the centre finding out about our amazing planet.  We loved the 4D cinema, the planetarium and the rainforest section.  There was so much to explore.  We were also able to show off our knowledge about the rainforest in the rainforest workshop, showing the leader what we had already learnt in school.  Mrs Scobie was very impressed with everything that we had remembered.

We have absolutely loved working on our enterprise project creating Christmas craft to sell to other clans.  We decided on the crafts we wanted to make and sell, working together in groups (like little hard-working elves) to complete as many items as we could, alongside creating a persuasive poster and price list.  We have worked on skills which will support us as we journey through our lives such as teamwork, creativity, focus, concentration, resilience and perseverance.  We had a great time selling our crafts and used our skills of persuasion during the sale.

Dundee Christmas Party

Dundee Clan had a fantastic time at their Christmas party.  We created a playlist together with all of our favourite party tunes and loved dancing to them.  We played musical bumps and corners which was great fun.  We enjoyed some food and a drink together in the café which was well-deserved after all that dancing.  We are well and truly in the Christmas mood.

Calderwood Compliments:

  • Our clans have all enjoyed their Christmas Parties over the past two weeks. Thank you to the Parent Council for providing our Christmas Party food and snacks, and for organising a visit and present from Santa and Mrs Claus for our Primary 1 and 2 clans.
  • A huge well done to our Primary 2-7 clans who entertained our community at Christmas Around the World last Friday.
  • Merry Christmas from our choir!
  • Our Primary 4 clans held their own Christmas Fayre this week, selling items they designed and create as part of their interdisciplinary learning.

It’s hard to believe that we have had our third Christmas together at Calderwood, time really does fly. As a community, we have achieved so much together in such a short space of time and I am forever grateful to our champions, for all they do, to make a difference for our children. Thank you to our families and the community for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated. I hope you all enjoy the holiday period and I can’t wait to see where 2024 takes us!
