Calder Movie Afternoon

Calder were the term 1 house points winners. Summer and Kyle surveyed the children in Calder to find out what they would like their treat to be and they selected a movie afternoon. They then did a survey to find out which movie and they picked Nanny McPhee. We also picked juice, popcorn and ice lollies for refreshments and dressed in our pjs. We had a fun, relaxing afternoon with our house buddies! Thank you to Kyle, Summer and the P7 Young Leaders for helping to organise and set up the party.

Congratulations Calder!

This week during our Junior Leadership Teams meetings, Miss Burton had prepared an afternoon tea to celebrate the leadership skills of our house and vice captains. We shared our favourite memories of the year, and our hopes for the future. It was lovely to hear them talk so positively about their Primary 7 experience and how they hope they have the same opportunities at high school.

A big thank you from Miss Burton for your leadership, support and laughs over the year, I really will miss you!
