Calderwood news!

Calderwood

As we were the winning house last term, we will be having another House Party!  This will be on Friday 11th May, 9.30am until 10.30am.

We have decided we would like to have a Pyjama Party, so if you are in Calderwood House, please bring your pyjamas/onesies/slippers to change into that morning.  We will be playing games and having fun (and food!) in the Hall.  We will come round classes and remind you nearer the time.  Thank you 🙂

Olivia – House Captain

LUSH in school

LUSH Livingston will be in school on Tuesday 24th April (this was previously arranged as part of Fairtrade Fortnight, was then cancelled due to snow/school closure and has now been re-scheduled) and after a presentation with the whole school, they will have a LUSH stall, where some products will be available to buy.  If children wish to buy anything they should bring money in a purse/wallet/envelope.  It would help if the younger children also brought a note of what parents would like them to buy and if the older children knew too.  Please note that these products are subject to change depending on their delivery so LUSH can’t guarantee full availability on the day.

P7s Health and Well Being

Primary 7s enjoyed their first session today with Michelle from the West Lothian Drug and Alcohol Service.

Together, we created Ciggy Simon to record the impact tobacco can have on a person.

Michelle recommended websites for us to look at:

www.bbc.co.uk  What’s in a cigarette?

www.landed.info

www.ashscotland.org.uk

Our Homework is to give something up for a week and replace it with a healthy alternative.  We will record our progress daily and discuss this next time.

We discussed the chemicals in cigarettes – we learned that tar is in cigarettes and it is also found on road surfaces.  It kills cilia, the small hairs that protect the lungs.  It causes breathing problems and stains fingers and teeth.  We also learned that it’s in a cigarette because tar is created when you burn two or more chemicals together.

Michelle will be with us again next week and we have more questions for her.  We look forward to seeing her.

Tidy Toilets!!

Our House Captains and Vice Captains were keen to improve the school toilets for everyone and they’ve been working with other members of the school community to improve things and ensure they are a nicer place to be!  After discussions at House Meetings, they decided on rotas and rewards and put this in place a couple of weeks ago.  After counting up the scores today, they announced that the Upper Girls Toilets and the Infant Boys Toilets had the highest points.  They will have ‘fancy’ toilet paper and hand wash in their toilets next week.  A very big well done to everyone for trying hard and leaving the toilets as they would like to find them!
