STEM in P4/5

In IDL this week, P5/4 were learning about load, structural integrity and tension. We used this learning to work collaboratively to build a bridge using only lollypop sticks and sellotape. We then had to measure how much weight our bridges could hold. We used skills like prediction, trial and error and collaboration. We had great fun and were impressed with our structures.

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

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!

P3 Go Wild in the Woods

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

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!
