Meet the Teacher Parent Presentation
P7 really is like no other year in Primary School – so many new responsibilities and opportunities. This week we announced our new House Captains:
Calderwood – Ben M and Emmie
Almondell – Eleni and Liam
Eliburn – Harry and Tyler
Beecraigs – Erin and Brooke
Congratulations to them and to everyone who went for these posts – you were all very professional and your speeches were heartfelt. You made the decisions very difficult.
We also have 4 Reading Ambassadors to congratulate:
Sophie C, Sophie M, Kaitlyn and Agota
They have a very busy year ahead helping us to encourage more reading throughout the school. Well done girls!
We also have our new Sports Captains:
Holly and Samuel
They will be organising all sorts of sporty things this year, as well as making sure the teachers are keeping the PE cupboard tidy – good luck with that!
We have several pupils applying to be Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) next week, so good luck to those pupils.
Looking back on what we have done in class this week, our Class Charter is now complete and has been signed by everyone to ensure we make this last year at primary school the best ever.
We started a year long programme with the Inveralmond CHS School of Football coach. We are so fortunate to be able to participate in this programme which focusses on developing the whole person, using football as a context. The key thing is that everyone is only competing against themselves to get better at everything, not just sport. There will be a mix of classroom sessions and physical sessions.
Pupil reflections:
Matthew – We did football and it was good but not tiring. We got our charter done eventually. Handball in PE was fun but a bit rough.
Sophie C – Number Talks was quite good. I think I can try some different ways to work out multiplication.
Charlie – I liked using the magnifier to look at rocks but you had to use the wee do part to get the best look. I learned about igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks.
Kieran – Number Talks was hard at the start but today we were much quicker.
Jack – It was good to pick our own story to write a report on, but it was difficult because the starting paragraph had to be a specific way.
