P3’s Christmas Learning

We have been looking at addition and subtraction in Numeracy and have been focusing on inverse operations. Primary 3 have become experts at this and have helped an alien to understand more about inverse operations by designing posters. In writing we completed our final Narrative Text about missing Christmas presents. We have had a busy week and have also enjoyed doing lots of Christmas artwork as well as attending our Christmas party and watching the P1 Nativity.

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.

Christmas Ceilidh with P6/7

P6/7 have been learning traditional Scottish country dances! We’ve been practicing the St Bernard’s Waltz, the Canadian Barn Dance, and the Gay Gordons. It’s been great fun, and we’ve discovered just how energetic (and exhausting!) ceilidh dancing can be.

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.

P5 Football Champions

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!

A Fun-Filled Visit to the Local College! 🎨🌿

Primary 2/3 had the exciting opportunity to visit West Lothian college last week, to take part in a fantastic play-based and outdoor learning experience.
The children had a brilliant time exploring the college’s playroom, getting creative with Halloween-themed crafts and artwork, and enjoying lots of fun outdoor activities. Their enthusiasm and imagination were on full display throughout the morning!
A big thank you to the college students who looked after our children so well. They provided a warm, supportive environment and gained valuable hands-on experience to support their own learning and development.
It was a wonderful experience for everyone involved — we’re already looking forward to the next visit!

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!
