Winter Clothing Donations

 

Sustainability Station

At Calderwood we want to do our bit to help our planet. We are setting up our uniform and winter clothing SWAP SHOP which will be located at the front door of the school next to the school office.

Parents can swap good quality school uniform and winter clothes or just take what they need.

There will be a selection of uniform in different sizes, winter jackets and wellies.

If your child has grown out of last years winter wardrobe and you wish to DONATE good quality:

WINTER JACKETS, WATERPROOFS, FOOTWARE or UNIFORM

Please drop it into the green buggy also located at the front door. 

 

 

Thank you!

The Book Fair Update

Thank you very much for your contributions to the Scholastic Book Fair during our Champion Conversations last week. Due to the purchases made on both nights, we have received a fantastic reward of £961.22 towards new books for our school. This is an amazing opportunity that allows us to develop the reading books and clan libraries across our school. A massive thank you to all for giving Calderwood this fantastic opportunity. We are so excited about the impact this will have on reading across our school community!
Our Rewards
As a school, we are going to investigate and collect data on how our reward money should be spent. Our literacy champions team will work collaboratively with pupils across the school to gain pupils’ and champions’ views on what reading texts and reading genres we would all like to see as part of our learning. We are excited to update you on our journey with this!
Awaiting Orders 
We are aware many of the books at the book fair had to be ordered in from Scholastic. We are still waiting on many of the orders to arrive. As soon as these arrive, all orders will be handed out to the pupils in school. We appreciate your patience with this.

The Ben’s – Math through stories

Maths week Scotland took a creative literacy turn as The Bens developed their understanding of decimals, fractions & percentages through a story called ‘Pezzettino’ by Lio Lionni.

We explored the idea of the ‘part, part, whole’ model through Pezzettino’s quest to find someone he is part of, only to discover he is a whole made up of parts.
The Bens enjoyed working collaboratively in their groups to create their characters which were parts of a whole. It was joyful when they realised that they would need to collaborate with other groups to make wholes and complete the story.

We can’t wait to show everyone our very own Pezzettino inspired story soon!
