Calderwood Book Hunt

Due to the fantastic reward of £961.22 from our Book Fair in September, Calderwood Primary has been busy shopping for new books! Our Calderwood pupils have been searching for texts they would like to see in their clan libraries and as part of their guided reading groups. We are very excited that we have the opportunity to add to our selection of books at Calderwood!

We would love for our families to get involved in this too! For Primary 1-3, we are expanding our clan libraries and for P4-P7 we are building our reading group texts. Please use the website links below and type a comment with which texts you would like to see your pupil engaging with at school.
