HOME LINKS: 

This week we have loved welcoming back the children with new experiences in our environment. The children have been interested in learning all about birds. We have been making nests and learning all about different birds. 

When you are out and about, try to spot any birds! If you find any take a photo and share with us on Online Learning Journals. 

You can use this to help with the identification process https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/identify-a-bird/

Calderwood Compliments: 

Happy New Year! One week in and it feels like we have never been away from our Calderwood home. It has been lovely to start the new year, with new families joining us. We have had a smooth transition back to Calderwood life and next week, we look forward to all our interventions timetables fully starting, ensuring we support and challenge all of our children.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Burton

Fallow House Party 13th Jan

Fallow House were the proud winners of the House Points last term.

Our Primary 6 and 7 Fallow Leaders suggested some types of parties and cast a vote across all children in Fallow House. The overwhelming majority voted for a pyjama party.

This party will take place on Friday 13th January at 9:30am. On this day, if your child is in Fallow house they can come to school dressed in pyjamas or dressed down.

The children have decided they would like cupcakes! They have also planned some fun activities like pyjama corners, musical beds and catch the teddy.

Robertson Homes and Age Scotland Writing Competition

Our Primary 3 clans took part in a writing competition organised by housebuilder Robertson Homes. The pupils were asked to write letters to older people who may be feeling lonely this Christmas. The winner of the competition would then have their writing chosen to feature in Age Scotland’s Friendship Service Christmas cards.

We are delighted to announce that a Primary 3 pupil from Calderwood Primary School was selected for his design to feature on the card. He showed compassion, laughter and joy through his letter. We know it will spread Christmas cheer to those who need it this year. Well done!

Find out more information here at Robertson Homes.

Ben Lomond’s Christmas Festivities

The Bens have been incredibly busy with our festive celebrations!

We spent the afternoon making Christmas crafts for our friends and family: we made woolly hats, cards, jewellery, coasters and tiles.

We made our own ‘Aztec’ hot chocolate as part of our IDL topic on Ancient Civilisations. It was pure 100% dark chocolate powder with no sugar or milk. Most of us thought it was ‘bitter’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘terrible’, however a few people thought it was ‘amazing!’

 

 

We also celebrated our Christmas lunch together – the food was yummy and we were also amazing helpers – helping to serve the younger pupils!

 

We also enjoyed our Christmas party for which we planned the games, activities and playlist! We had a best dancer competition, best singer competition, hula hoop pass-the-parcel, corners, musical chairs and of course… party food!!

 

 

Our Christmas Around the World play was also one on Ben Lomond’s highlights! We chose the topic, wrote the script, designed the set, costumes and chose our song. It was directed and lead by the pupils and was a huge success – check out our vid here! https://sway.office.com/gm4BEjrfvmuvnQBw?ref=Link

 

It’s been an incredible year and we thank you for all your continued support.

 

Next term will be VERY exciting as we begin to think about leaving our Calderwood P7 Legacy behind.

 

For now, relax & enjoy the break!

 

Ben Lomond & Mrs McGarvey 🙂
