This week Primary 5 began working with David from West Lothian Community Foundation on the ‘Football Champions’ programme. Football Champions is a 12 session programme aimed at P5-P7 young people to gain leadership, confidence, and football skills.
Our first 2 sessions focused on inclusive drills and keeping our brains and bodies healthy.
We can’t wait for our next session!
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.
It was a special occasion — the very first time our team played together, after just two training sessions. And what a morning it turned out to be!
We played three exciting matches:
Every single player gave it their all, showing incredible determination, teamwork, and skill on the pitch. From strong passes to great goals, and brilliant support for one another, the team spirit was truly inspiring.
We are so proud of how well they represented our school — well done, team!
Primary 6/7 have been working with coach Sam from Livingston Rugby Club on Friday mornings. We have been enjoying experiencing the game and learning new skills.
Today, Primary 6 had the opportunity to work with a group of West Lothian College HND students in fun fitness tests, relay races and games. The children had a brilliant time and are really looking forward to their next session.
We are delighted that our clubs are up and running again at Toronto. This week saw our first club, Level 1 Bikeability, up and running.
Next week we have P4-7 Tennis on Monday, P4-7 Choir on Wednesday and P1-3 Football on Thursday. We are hoping to add more to our list soon!
Mrs Black organised a special ‘Sports Assembly’ last week where we came together as a whole school to celebrate our sporting successes and achievements over the last year. Awards were presented to individuals and we celebrated the sporting successes shared through wider achievements outside school as well as in school. We presented certificates of thanks to a number of our partners who have made it possible to offer some of the sports activities we have done this year!
We also said a sad farewell to our Active Schools Coordinator Mrs Livingston, who is moving on to work with a new cluster of primary schools in West Lothian.
This week P6 children attended the ICHS cluster Cross Country event at Howden Park.It was wet and a bit windy but we all gave it our best and made it all the way around, even though we were a bit tired afterwards!
This week Primary 7 attended WL track and Field Championships at Craigswood Sports Centre. There were teams of boys and girls competing in long jump, shot put, 80m, 600m and 4x100m relay.
All pupils gave their best and enjoyed taking part and cheering each other on.
Well done to one of our P7’s who was awarded first place in shot put!
Primary 5 are learning about the Olympics this term. We have been following the Olympic torch’s journey so far in 2024 starting in Olympia Greece, where the ancient Olympics originated, all the way to Paris for the opening ceremony. We named ourselves after some Greek and French cities, towns and territories, and held our very own Olympic torch ceremony from Olympia-Paris, in our playground!
