Happy Friday!
We hope everyone had a restful summer. We have enjoyed a smooth start to the new school year. It’s hard to believe we are already at the end of the second week of term. It’s been wonderful to see new routines taking shape and lots of learning in classrooms.
🗂️ Termly Overviews
Teachers will post termly overviews on Google Classroom. These overviews will outline key learning for the term, helping families stay informed and connected to their child’s learning.
🏞️ Northern Meeting Park
Some of our Primary 7 pupils had the exciting opportunity to take part in the official opening of the Northern Meeting Park. The refurbished Bught Park and Northern Meeting Park in Inverness were officially re-opened this week by Kirsty McNeill, UK Government Minister for Scotland.
📖 Bookbug Invitation
We’d love to invite our school community to join us for a Bookbug session on Thursday 19th September at 9:00am in the Community Room.
Please bring along your babies and toddlers for a fun, friendly time of stories, songs, and rhymes. We look forward to seeing you there!
📅 P7 Transition Dates Confirmed
Inverness High School is looking forward to working with our P7 pupils as part of their transition to secondary school. Please make a note of the following key dates:
Thursday 6th November – Transition Highlights with a Parent/Carer Session at 6pm, including a tour of the school during the twilight session.
Transition Days – Wednesday 12th, Monday 15th and Tuesday 16th June.
Photos of learning
We have ordered new tablets so we can share photos of learning. We hope they will arrive soon. Until such time, Google Classroom might appear a bit bare.
🏠 Home School Partnership Learning
At the start of the year, it’s helpful for children to set simple goals that connect with our school rules:
Safe – A goal could be “I will walk safely to school each morning”.
Mindful – A goal could be “I will listen carefully when someone is speaking”.
Aspirational – A goal could be “I will try my best with reading every day”.
You can support at home by helping your child choose one small goal for this term and celebrating their progress. Linking home goals with school rules helps children see how these values guide their choices both in and out of school.
