This week we have been working on expanding our multiplication strategies and explaining our thinking in numeracy.
In Writing we have been researching and gathering notes on our chosen animal to use in our information reports.
In Art we experimented with different materials to create collages of Anne of Cleves.
We’ve had a busy start to the New Year in Primary 1! We had fun outside in our icy sand pit and we have finished the week playing ‘kaboom’ and ‘roll a number’ games to help us learn our tricky words. A great start to 2026!
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.
On Thursday 10th October 2024, P4/5 recognised World Mental Health Day by taking their learning outdoors. Outdoor learning is thought to improve mood, reduce stress, encourage relaxation, improve physical activity and boost confidence and self esteem.
P4/5 took their literacy outdoors where they found interesting places to read their books and then use the natural materials to recreate some of the illustrations and photos from their reading books.
Two Primary 5 pupils have been keen to share their knowledge of what they have been learning in class and during their own time. Here they are signing and singing the alphabet!
Another way we celebrated Read a Book Day at Toronto was for Primary 1 and 7 to spend time reading with their buddies. The Primary 7s did a great job at helping their P1 buddies choose a book to read together and take home. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon!
