Polar Explorer Comes to Calderwood We are very excited about a very spe- cial visitor coming to Calderwood later this month. Craig Mathieson from the Polar Academy is the Explorer in Resi- dence from the Royal Scottish Geo- graphical Society. He has had many adventures and will be speaking to all the classes about his expeditions! This project is being funded by Clyde Gate- way as part of their Intervention Photo Caption Prorgramme to provide a Polar Explo- ration Workshop for all pupils. Craig has led the 1st Scottish Expedi- Stonelaw Sports Leaders tion to the South and North Poles. We have a very positive relationship with the Physical Education Department at Stonelaw and once again we are delighted to play an important role in the Sports Leader Development Programme for S4 Pupils. Every week for a block of four sessions, the children in P2/3 have visited Stonelaw for their PE sessions. The children are supervised by a member of staff from Calderwood however the S4 Pupils are involved in coaching the children in a vari- ety of sporting activities. The children really enjoy the opportunity to work and learn from the older pupils and also use their gigantic gym hall! The S4 pupils practice their coaching skills and learning how to manage little people! This has been a successful partner project with Stonelaw High School through which many classes have benefitted. Book Banding Craig Mathieson We would like to say a huge thank you to our Parent Council and to the wider Parent Forum for helping to fund £7000 of our wonderful new books. Book Banding is extremely expensive and we could not have achieved this without your support. Book Banding is being implemented in P1-3 this session and we hope to roll this out next year into the upper school. Mrs. Laing has produced an information letter and we hope you will find this useful. We will have many of the books available for all parents to view during Parents’ Night. We would welcome your comments on how the children are enjoying the new readers at home. It is extremely important that children have the opportunity to read a wide range of texts and this is a crucial aspect of learning to read and of Curriculum for Excellence . I am sure par- ents will also be delighted with a little change from Kipper, Biff and Chip! As the books are so expensive, we really want to take care of them! Please ensure that your child looks after their book at home and always remember to return it to the school each day. Last session, we lost a number of reading books which were not returned from home. Pupil Council Visit Glasgow City Chambers Early in the term, our Pupil Council representatives from Primary 5,6 and 7 visited Glasgow City Chambers. The children worked with other schools from across Glasgow to discuss the im- portance of Pupil Voice. We are really pleased to be part of the Glasgow Growing Good Citizenships Project Uzair, Spencer, Sophie, Alex, Olivia and May and we are excited about how the Pupil Council will take this forward at Calder- P7 Pre-Stem Science Project wood. Over the last few months, Primary 7 have been very busy working on the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics Projects. The children were split into teams to work together and consider how they could go about making Calderwood a more healthy school. In their groups, they had to come up with innovative and creative ideas and present this in the form of a presentation to a panel of judges. This was a super event and all Primary Schools in the Stonelaw Learning Community were involved. Stonelaw High School hosted this event for the feeder Primary Schools. We were delighted to come Teachers Learn too! Calderwood Teachers have always been extremely committed to their con- tinuous professional learning. At the moment, we have a number of staff who are participating in French and also in Spanish training. After the school day, they head off to Hamilton to participate in their weekly lessons! Teachers always continue to learn too! Photo Caption Rookie Rockstar Christmas Concert We are super excited about this year’s Christmas Show. All children in the school perform in this show from Primary 1 through to Primary 7. In previous years we have always had a whole school show, however we have so many children now that it has been necessary to look at a different approach. We have invited Rookie Rockstars to visit Calderwood and they will be supporting us in performing. Further details will be issued very soon along with information about tickets. The school will be split into two groups; an A and a B Group. There will be an A and a B group from each class. Siblings will be in the same group. There will be four evening performances this ses- sion and the children will perform on two evenings out of the four. You will shortly be informed of the evenings your children will perform. Team A will perform Monday and Wednesday Team B will perform on Tuesday and Thursday Using this model, we will be able to offer two tickets per family for your choice of evening perfor- mance. There may also be opportunities to purchase additional tickets too. This year there will be no matinee performances. In previous years, each class has performed a song at the concert, however all the children will perform all the songs with a few surprises thrown in! If this is a model which works for us, we may attempt to do this ourselves in future years! The children will all dress up as Rock Stars so plenty of time to think about a costume; it would great to see a mixture of styles from through the decades; glasses, punky hair, leg warmers will all be welcome! Please do not go out and buy costumes as anything goes! Be as creative as you like! We invite parents to also dress up on the night and join in the fun! DATES— Monday 12th December, Tuesday 13th December, Wednesday 14th December and Thursday 15th December. Christmas Fair We are very much looking forward to Calderwood’s Christmas Fair. This has become one of the most well attended Fairs in Rutherglen because of the huge variety of stalls, home baking etc. Don’t forget to put the date in the diary! Saturday 26th November 10am-2pm Good Luck Lego Mindstorm Team At the beginning of December our Lego Mindstorm Team will be participating in the First Lego League Competition in Glasgow. Calderwood were previous Scottish Champions in 2014/2015 and West of Scotland Team Award Winners 2015/2016. Once again our team will be led by Mrs. Mossman who has been working tirelessly to prepare the children for the presentation element and the lego challenge after school and during lunch breaks. This project is extremely difficult and involves computer programming the robot (also built by the children) to complete a number of challenges in the given time. The chil- dren will be showcasing their skills on Parent s’ Evening in the hall. Please come in and wish the children luck! During the competition, the children are questioned about their robot design and about programming. Please ask the children questions and put them through their paces in preparation for the competition! It would be great experi- ence for them. Thank you Mrs. Mossman for all your hard work preparing the children for the competition. David Goutcher Visit We are delighted to be hosting a visit from author David Goutcher who created the Spy Quest Interactive Game. Rutherglen Library have kindly organised this visit for Calder- wood. Primary 4 to Primary 7 will have the opportunity to ask David about Spy Quest , his books and about life as an author! Something to really look forward to!

The current school roll is 438 children across 15 classes (August 2018). The local area is a mixture of social and privately owned housing. The new school building was opened in 2007 and provides a bright, modern environment for learning.

At Calderwood Primary School we aim to provide a welcoming, safe, nurturing and inclusive environment for our children and families. Every child is encouraged and supported to reach their full individual potential. Leadership is promoted throughout the school, empowering learners and staff to strive for excellence. We value and celebrate outstanding partnerships with parents, the wider community and local business, and have strong, collegiate and productive relationships with our fellow learning community primary schools and Stonelaw High School. Last session was one of significant change at Calderwood Primary with a number of new staff members joining the team, including a new Head Teacher and acting Depute Head Teacher. As our school continues to grow and change, the whole staff team are committed to working together to build on the legacy of the school - which has an excellent reputation and profile in our local community – and achieve the best outcomes for our learners as we continue on our journey towards excellence.

  • The Development of Positive Values Through a Democratic Approach to Learning
    ‘We’re citizens now’!: the development of positive values through a democratic approach to learning. Henry Maitles University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland Isabel Gilchrist Stonelaw High School, Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, Scotland Introduction: education for citizenship Education for citizenship is intrinsically bound up with democracy. In particular, the feeling that young people are citizens now (as opposed to in the future) and that democracy has to be fostered from a young age are central issues in the formal proposals put to governments in Britain by both the Advisory Group (1998) in England and the Review Group (2002) in Scotland. There is a near moral panic in Britain (indeed in most representative democracies around the world) that young people are apathetic, alienated and disinterested in politics. In Britain, there is the example of the recent European Union election in 1999 in which, as a whole, turnout was barely above 20%, in some areas just in double figures and amongst the 18-24 year olds much lower than for the population as a whole. And, indeed, for those who felt that whatever happened in this ‘less important’ election, the General Election would hold up, June 7th. 2001 showed that this was over optimistic; turnout was under 60%, the lowest since 1918. Put bluntly, more people voted for the winner of ‘Big Brother’ on Channel 4 than voted in the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and London Mayoral elections combined in 1999. Even more worryingly, the Scottish Parliament, described as having the raison d’etre of bringing interest in politics and participation closer to the people and, consequently providing a forum that would reverse the trend in terms of voting participation, achieved a sub 50% turnout in May 2003.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Burgh Primary is one of 124 primary schools throughout South Lanarkshire Council. South Lanarkshire Council is the fifth largest authority in Scotland. It covers the following main areas; Clydesdale in the South which features extensive rural areas, Cambuslang, Rutherglen, Blantyre and Uddingston to the North as well as the towns of East Kilbride and Hamilton. The Council’s Plan Connect sets out the Council’s vision to improve the quality of life for all within South Lanarkshire. For Education Resources this means delivering services of the highest quality as well as striving to narrow the gap. It is about continually improving the services for everyone at the same time as giving priority to children, young people, families and communities in most need. The Resources Plan further builds on the commitment to improve the experience for children, young people and adults as they participate in learning or make use of the wide range of services within Education. The context for service delivery in Education Resources takes account of major national and local developments. These include a commitment to implement all aspects of the national programme, Curriculum for Excellence (CfE); a commitment to work in partnership with colleagues to meet the challenges of ‘Getting it Right for Every Child; and an awareness of the need to seek continuous improvement as we embark on a Journey to Excellence. Locally, the community plan, Stronger Together, and the ambitious outcomes for children within Education Resources’ framework of core policies help to inform the Resources Plan. The aims of South Lanarkshire Council, Education Resources, are shown on the back cover of the handbook.

Our agenda is aimed at providing the best possible learning experiences for all. Experiences which: • inspire learners to become successful, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors, meeting the needs of all; • transform learning across all our services, Learning Communities and establishments ensuring that our children and young people gain the necessary skills and qualifications that support their aspirations; and • strengthen communities, encouraging the highest of expectations and aspirations for all while reducing inequalities I believe that participation in physical education, physical activity and sport plays a unique role in supporting the aspirations of our children and young people and can change lives for the better. As we know, a high quality experience can have a positive impact on an individual’s health and wellbeing and provide many other benefits that last well beyond school life. Therefore, it is essential that the excellent work by our Active School Coordinators and school networks continues to thrive. We see clear benefits of this work for our children and young people as they gain opportunities to participate, lead and shape their involvement in physical activity. The PEPAS strategy that has been developed by Active Schools, Education Resources and sportscotland is an excellent example of close partnership working and its introduction has supported increased participation, engagement and involvement.
