We have been learning about Christmas around the World. To celebrate the different cultures in our classroom, one of our classmates taught us about his Christmas traditions in Romania. We took part in a fun quiz to test our knowledge, learned a traditional Romanian carol song and made our own Sorcova tissue flower for New Years.
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.
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:
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!
Here are some photos of P7 and P6/7 having fun toasting marshmallows during outdoor leaning day.
P6/7 learned about the importance of shelter during poverty awareness week. We looked at the materials we would include in our houses and different shelter all around the world. We listened to the alternative eco friendly stories ‘The Three Little Eco Pigs’ and Cinderella and the Carbon Foot Prince’. We created our own comic strips to retell the stories. Here are some photos.
Primary 4 had a visit from the Fire Service as part of their interdisciplinary learning on the history of Livingston as well as the world of work in the local area.
We loved seeing the inner workings of the fire engine and learning all about the role of a fire fighter.
It was lovely to welcome all our children back to Toronto after the Festive break.
P4/5 have started off their new year by reflecting on all that 2024 offered and making resolutions for the year ahead. They have set their own goals for what they would like to achieve in 2025.
P6/7 have been investigating Christmas in Bulgaria. As part of their learning the learned a Bulgarian Carol and want ed to share their learning with the rest of the school. Yesterday P6/7 went carolling to the different blocks to share their song. Listen to it here:
Our Toronto choir visited Braid House this week to perform some Christmas carols for the members there. We loved sharing our Christmas spirit, joy and singing with them.
