P7 & P6/7 – Happy Place Workshop with SAINT PHNX

Leave a reply

Primary 7 and Primary 6/7 recently took part in the Happy Place Workshop, an inspiring program led by the Scottish band SAINT PHNX. This workshop, based on the band’s song Happy Place, focuses on mental well-being, creativity, and finding joy in everyday life. Through music, personal reflection, and interactive activities, P7 explored ways to discover their own “happy place”– whether through art, nature, mindfulness, or connecting with loved ones. It was a fantastic experience that encouraged resilience, positivity, and self-expression.

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.

Leave a reply

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!

Leave a reply

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.

Our first 2 sessions focused on inclusive drills and keeping our brains and bodies healthy.

We can’t wait for our next session!

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

Leave a reply

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!
