This week Primary 5's "Football Champions" programme came to an end, and what better way to showcase our skills we have learned and developed over the last 12 sessions than to host a mini football festival! Primary 5 have the best time working with David, a coach from West Lothian Community Foundation to develop leadership, [...]

This week, P5/4 had the opportunity to take part in a Judo taster session. We played some fun games and learned some impressive Judo moves.

In IDL this week, P5/4 were learning about load, structural integrity and tension. We used this learning to work collaboratively to build a bridge using only lollypop sticks and sellotape. We then had to measure how much weight our bridges could hold. We used skills like prediction, trial and error and collaboration. We had great [...]

Primary Three have been busy as always! We have been practicing our listening and created some crazy aliens by listening carefully to instructions. We have also been working hard writing information reports, learning different multiplication strategies and for Languages week we have learnt some Gaelic greetings!

This week we have been working on expanding our multiplication strategies and explaining our thinking in numeracy. In Writing we have been researching and gathering notes on our chosen animal to use in our information reports. In Art we experimented with different materials to create collages of Anne of Cleves.

This week in P6/7 we enjoyed playing handball with P4/5. We also had great fun working as a team on our chocolatey packaging production line. We had to work collaboratively to follow the steps and be as efficient as possible.

This week, Primary 7 enjoyed working together, exploring ideas and problem-solving while learning about scale drawings in our Building Thinking Classroom. We also worked brilliantly to create a chocolate‑packaging production line, learning how to organise tasks, follow logical steps, and streamline our process while having lots of fun collaborating

In writing we completed our final Narrative Text about missing Christmas presents. We have had a busy [...]

Primary 2 and Primary 2/3 have been developing their coordination, rhythm, and teamwork skills through dance. We have been learning how to keep in time with the beat, follow simple choreographed sequences, and move safely in the space around us. The children's enthusiasm and progress has been wonderful to see.

P6/7 have been learning traditional Scottish country dances! We've been practicing the St Bernard's Waltz, the Canadian Barn Dance, and the Gay Gordons. It's been great fun, and we've discovered just how energetic (and exhausting!) ceilidh dancing can be.

For the last 4 weeks, Primary 1 have been singing and playing games with Mrs Gray from NYCOS. We have had lots of fun learning some new songs that we will continue to sing in class.

This week in P7 was packed with exciting learning experiences! We learned numeracy skills through Building Thinking Classrooms, where pupils collaborated and had fun solving challenges in creative ways. In P.E., Inveralmond CHS S6 students came to help us with our football skills! We also welcomed parents into our Open Classroom for reading, where together we explored [...]
