STEM in P4/5

In IDL this week, P5/4 were learning about load, structural integrity and tension. We used this learning to work collaboratively to build a bridge using only lollypop sticks and sellotape. We then had to measure how much weight our bridges could hold. We used skills like prediction, trial and error and collaboration. We had great fun and were impressed with our structures.

Let’s Dance with P2 and P2/3

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.

A Busy Week in Primary 7!

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 and analysed an extract from The BFG. It was fantastic to see families engaging with literacy and sharing ideas.

Primary 6 & 7 Shine at North Area Football Festival! ⚽

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:

  • Match 1: A solid start with a 0–0 draw.
  • Match 2: A narrow 1–0 loss, but great effort all round.
  • Match 3: A fantastic 3–2 win to finish the morning on a high!

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!
