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 Primary 2 this week we enjoyed a special visit from Dave for "Wee Story, Big Sound", where the children created their own song using a shopping list of items from his bag. In maths, we explored grouping objects by colour and size, and in PE we practiced badminton skills, working together to take part [...]

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.

Through music, personal reflection, and interactive activities, P7 explored ways to discover [...]

P2/3 have been learning about where food comes from. We have learned about the food journey of butter and have had a go at making butter ourselves.

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.

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 [...]

Our first 2 sessions focused on inclusive drills and keeping our brains and bodies healthy. We can't wait [...]

This morning, some of our Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils visited Inveralmond Community High School to take part in the first North Area Football Festival of the year.
