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!

This morning Primary 3 took part in a very wet outdoor learning session with Kids Gone Wild. We had fun exploring the woods, climbing trees and we bravely had a go at slacklining. We had the best time being wet, messy and outdoors!

Parachute Fun in P1

Leave a reply

Primary 1 and Primary 1/2 have been having fun with Mrs Graham, Mrs Stewart and Mrs Black, with the parachute!

We loved trying to keep the ball on the parachute, then we changed our game and were actually aiming to get the ball through the hole in the middle. We enjoyed sitting inside the parachute as we turned it into a mushroom, Mrs Black thought we had all disappeared! Our favourite game though was cat and mouse! Even one of the Primary 7’s joined in with us!

Primary 7 enjoyed a visit to Heriot Watt University where they had fun designing and testing their own parachutes, took part in fun activities to programme the Sphero bots and also learned more about life at University.

In January Primary 7 pupils took part in the Watt Box challenge, set by Heriot Watt University. The University staff challenged our P7’s to design a chariot which could travel 2 metres and be pushed or pulled by a Sphero Bot.  The staff from Heriot Watt were so impressed with the enthusiasm and skills shown by the children, including their preparation and design process, and as a result Toronto Primary were chosen as the Inveralmond Cluster winners.  For being the winning ICHS cluster school Heriot Watt invited our P7 children to visit the university to take part in a variety of STEM based activities.

Trip to Forth Bridges Education Centre

Primary 4, Primary 3/4 and Primary 3 had a wonderful time at the Forth Bridges Education Centre today. We listened to a quick bridges and engineering presentation then completed an engineering challenge in groups. After lunch we walked across the Forth Road Bridge so the children could experience the scale and structure of the bridges. Well done everyone!
