Happy Friday everyone,
We finish another busy week at school and are looking forward to the long weekend.
Most classes have managed a visit to our allotment at The Farm at Inverness High School. We are aiming for weekly visits to help develop our “green fingers” 😊
As the weather becomes better this term, can we remind everyone that sunhats, sunscreen and bottles of water are very welcome to help keep everyone safe in the sun and hydrated?
Next week all classes will learn about VE day as the 80th anniversary takes place.
📘 Termly overviews
The team will post their termly overviews on google classroom. These overviews provide a summary of the learning planned for the term across the curriculum. If you have any questions about the learning planned for your child’s class, please speak directly to their teacher.
🎳 Bowls Taster Sessions
P4, P5, and P6 pupils had the opportunity to take part in taster sessions at Inverness Bowls Club. The children had a fantastic time learning new skills and trying out the sport in a fun and supportive environment. A big thank you to the club for welcoming our pupils and giving them such a positive experience.
