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.

World Mental Health Day 2024

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.

Watch Them Grow!

Leave a reply
Primary 1 are learning about what plants need to grow.
Last week each of the Primary 1 children planted peas.  They needed a pot, soil and seeds.  Once they had panted the seeds they then watered them.
We are going to look after our seeds and hopefully we will see shoots appearing very soon.
In class we wrote instructions to tell others how to plant a seed.

Poetry in P3

Leave a reply
Primary 3 have been learning about poetry. We have been exploring how adjectives can help the reader imagine things in more detail.
We collected leaves from outside and thought of different adjectives to describe them. We then put these adjectives into a poem.

P4/5 loved having their families in to share in their Literacy learning. We worked on reciprocal reading skills and were able to teach our adults these skills. It was so lovely to share some ERIC time with them too.
