We will be sharing Home Learning resources via Google Classroom. This is a fantastic way for the children to keep in contact with each other and their teacher, as well as have to opportunity to complete a variety of different activities to help support their learning at home.
After the First Minister's announcement, we are delighted that our P1-3 Calderwoodies will return to school on Monday 22nd February. More information about their safe return will be issued shortly. We hope that it won't be long before our P4-7 children will be able to join them. In the meantime, we have made some changes to the timings of Google Meets for our P4-7 children. Please click here to find out more.

Home Learning Guidance - added 12.11.20
Please check school bags tonight for two very important letters; a Home Learning Grid and Home Learning Guidance for Parents and Carers. The Home Learning Grid provides all of the information you will need to support your child's learning at home. We wanted parents and carers to have all of this information in one place. Please keep this information safe and update it with any changes to passwords. The Home Learning Guidance for Parents and Carers outlines every possible home learning scenario we may come across this session. The aim of the leaflet is to ensure we have shared expectations of each of these. Please click here to view the guidance leaflet. Please note: We are working on the assumption that we will remain fully 'open for business' - we just want to be planned and prepared for whatever may come our way over the course of the year.

All is explained in the guidance. If you have any further feedback or ideas, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Challenge Mr Samson - 21.04.20A very well known face around Calderwood Primary School is Mr Samson. If you are up for a challenge, Mr Samson will be posting a weekly challenge on the Whole School Google Classroom for you to take part in at home. You might even see some of your teachers and familiar faces from our Calderwood family taking part too. Make sure you keep an eye out for the challenges on Google Classroom and on the school Twitter page, and get uploading your videos!
Google Classrooms - 19.04.20
We are delighted to see so many of our Calderwoodies engaging with Google Classrooms. It is a fantastic way for you to keep in touch with your teacher and your classmates. All of our children should have access to their own class within Google Classrooms and have access to the Whole School Google Classroom too. This is where the Senior Management Team post fun activities and are also there for you to share your pictures and videos of you learning at home.
We are very much aware that this is a new way of learning for our children and appreciate the challenges our families are facing in these unprecedented times. Google Classrooms is a way for us to remain connected, with no expectation that all activities are completed. Please do what you can!
Keeping in Touch - 20.03.20
Please ensure you have downloaded the Calderwood Primary School App to keep up to date with news and updates, as and when we make them. To download the app, search 'PSA' or 'PSA primaryschoolapp' in the Apple or Google Play app stores. Once you've opened up the app, just search for 'Calderwood Primary School' to see our latest news. Also, you can follow the school Twitter account for updates @calderwoodslc!
Home Learning - 19.03.20
Many of you will have heard the recent news from the Scottish Government that they plan to close schools at the end of this week. All children will be issued with Learning Packs, which include guidance on online learning via Glow and Google Classrooms. Every teacher has set up Google Classroom to issue further learning for their class. Details of how to access this is included within the Learning Packs, along with activities and weblinks. If your child is not at school, the Learning Packs will be available from the school office on Friday (from 10am - 4pm).
We are committed to maintaining our role as a community hub over the coming days, weeks and (potentially) months. Please stay in touch with us - engage in the Google Classroom activities, tag us in photographs on Twitter, send us an email just to say 'hi'. Let's keep the Calderwood Community spirit going strong!
