P1a have had lots of fun learning about Fairy Tales. Our favourite so far has been Jack and the Beanstalk and everyone has been very engaged with their learning. We have been creating castles and planting our own beanstalks. We also used non standard units to measure some leaves that the dragon left behind in our classroom.

We have been working very hard with learning new letters. This week we will be focusing on ‘t’ and ‘i.’ See if you can find anything at home that begins with these sounds 🙂

Finally, for number we are working on recognising, forming and ordering numbers to 10. You could practise this at home if you want to! Well done Primary 1 for all of your fantastic work and thank you so much for all of your amazing homework jotters 🙂

We have been super busy in P1b this week! We have had a great time completing lots of activities relating to Jack and the Beanstalk. We had fun measuring leaves using different items and used lots of different construction materials to try and create the biggest beanstalk. We also played with musical instruments to help us explore syllables.

Introducing two of Inveralmond’s finest – Jack and Neve (Depute Head Boy and Girl) who assisted with interviews for Toronto’s pupil leadership roles (Head Boy and Girl) this morning.

Jack and Neve were very impressed by the quality of all applicants and admired the confidence our P7 pupils have.  The interview questions were based on our school values and each of the candidates shone.   Jack and Neve both agreed it was a hard decision to make!  We thank them for their valuable contribution to this process and look forward to working with them again over the coming year.

Our P7 pupil leadership roles will be announced on Friday during assembly!

Here is a little insight into our very successful election today. Well done to our talented Primary 6’s who managed to capture the day perfectly. Enjoy!

All set for our Election Day in Primary 7/6 and 7. Don’t forget to place your vote for house captains TODAY. #EveryVoteCounts

Our Primary 7’s have been working super hard on their parliament topic that they are able to bring it to life. We have been looking for responsible members of Primary 7 to take on the role of house captain and we thought the best way to decide was to hold an election.

The boys and girls had a fantastic day today visiting the other classes and members of staff around to school to appeal for their position as house captain. There were many compliments from different people around the school saying how well they presented themselves and delivered their plea. Well done to those involved in both P7/6 and P7.

Tomorrow is the big day. Good luck to everybody – You have all worked extremely hard and we are very proud!

ELECTION RESULTS – Watch this space.

P1 and P2/1 are continuing to enjoy preparing and eating healthy snacks.  As well as eating delicious, healthy food, the children are also learning about following instructions, taking turns, using manners and the importance of hand washing.  They also enjoy spending time chatting with their friends which helps their talking and listening skills.  They have even helped to order snack and they are all really looking forward to water melon and strawberries being on the menu next week.

Here are some pictures to show what we got up to last week in Phonics and Maths. We had lots of fun exploring the sound ‘s’ through different activities and had a fantastic time completing a shape hunt in the classroom.
