This week Primary 5’s “Football Champions” programme came to an end, and what better way to showcase our skills we have learned and developed over the last 12 sessions than to host a mini football festival!
Primary 5 have the best time working with David, a coach from West Lothian Community Foundation to develop leadership, confidence, and football skills.
This week, P5/4 had the opportunity to take part in a Judo taster session. We played some fun games and learned some impressive Judo moves.
In Primary 2 this week we enjoyed a special visit from Dave for “Wee Story, Big Sound”, where the children created their own song using a shopping list of items from his bag.
In maths, we explored grouping objects by colour and size, and in PE we practiced badminton skills, working together to take part in a rally.
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.
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.
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.
