Primary 2 have been investigating sight.   We did a few experiments to make us think about how we use our eyes every day. Our first experiment was to walk with a blindfold on.  We had partners who helped guide us.

We then tried to throw and catch a beanbag with a blindfold on.  This was not an easy task.

Finally we had to guess where the  person speaking was standing by listening to their voice.

These experiments helped to show us how we rely on sight and how blind people depend on their other senses.

P1 found something special in their classroom yesterday – a strange egg! We were very excited and had lots of fantastic ideas about where the egg came from and what was inside. We thought it could be a chicken, dinosaur, panther or even a dragon. We can’t wait to find out more…

Thank you Primary 5 and Primary 6/5 for performing The Emerald Crown for pupils, teachers, parents, carers and friends today. It was fantastic. What a talented bunch you are!

Primary 2

Primary 2 have been busy counting up in steps of 1, 2, 5 and 10 this week.

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!
