Inshes primary School
Inverness presents to
you; ICT. Pupils at In-
shes primary School
have gone technology
crazy when using
Chromebooks, comput-
ers, iPads and much
more. As we have re-
cently received the de-
light of having Chrome-
books throughout our
school. All P1 to P7 pu-
pils have had a shot at
the Chromebooks. On
the Chromebooks we do
things such as: math
games, research and
having privilege time.
We use Chromebooks
apps such as; google
classroom, drive, docs
and slides. For the more
gaming orienteered
apps we use TTRock-
stars. Our school has
recently put together a
team of digital leaders.
The digital leaders notify
the school about new
apps and software and
teach us how to be safe
on and of the internet.
The digital leaders lead-
er, Miss Carson, said
that she uses software
such as clicker 7, Socra-
tive, Times Table Rock-
stars, Kahoot, Seesaw
and Google apps, such
as Docs, slides, sites,
keep, classroom and
sheets. “Remember to
always stick to the gran-
ny rule to keep us safe
on the internet.” she told
us. We use child locks
and security locks to
stay safe.
Other Technology uses in school In our school we don't just use Chromebooks we also use iPads and computers. Sometimes we play games and re-
search for homework and more. Other times we make slideshows and docs. We can also go onto our google ac-count at home on a computer, tablet or phone. In P5B we use google classroom to show our homework and sometimes class work. For coding in class we use Code Combat and Hour of Code were you can learn to code differ-ent games and charac-ters. We use top marks in numeracy to help us with our maths by play-ing a fun and free edu-cational game. We also use Khan Academy. You create your own profile and your teacher can send you numeracy assignments and see your progress through-out your assignments. Another great app is Kahoot. You can make a quiz and test your ma-tes, we also use See-saw. It is a website like google classroom where students can upload on-to the class Seesaw ac-count.

Join us along our journey to become ICT heroes.

ing but Morgan also did a couple of
drawings. Inshes School aims are
made to ensure that Inshes Primary
School have positive goals, positive
teachers and positive pupils.
It is really important to have school
aims because if we did not, then bully-
ing could take place and the adults
might not take any action if a child
walks up to them. The Aims also help
bullies to become more friendly and
nicer. Inshes School aims are also im-
portant because if there was no aims
you might do anything, and not always
the good things. Inshes School aims
has been great to have at Inshes.
By Aleksander Bisikierski and Aaron Hillan
Inshes News has been discovering how
Inshes Aims became a reality.
Inshes Aims are a set of values and
morals that make up what Inshes Pri-
mary School stand for. Some of the
Aims are;
“We are challenged”, “We are resili-
ent”, “We make learning fun” and “We
are treated equally”
We wanted to figure out how these
aims came about and therefore inter-
viewed different pupils who helped cre-
ate these.
“It was ok and it was fun looking at the
final result.” Said Jotham from P7B.
“We struggled with a few things.”
It took them about a 2 weeks and 2
days. One of the biggest problems
were the colour choice, most of the
P7s would like a different colour.
Jotham (P7B) was creator, Morgan
(P7B) was the colour manager, Eilidh
(P7B) and Lewis (P7B) helped pull it
together. Jotham did most of the draw-

These are some of the trips that Inshes
Pupils have been on over the year.
All classes go to Farr woods. At Farr woods Jason, from P2, was den building.
He enjoyed the activities.
P7B went on a trip twice to university of
Highlands and Islands placed in Inverness.
They visited the STEM centre and learned about space and lighting. Even though it
was a long walk Jotham from P7B enjoyed
it.
Both P5 classes went to the mosque. They
listened to some prayers and at the end
they were able to bring a Koran back.
There was lots of food.

P5 in Farr Woods
By: Sophie, Elle, Erica and Ellie.
As some of you might know;
drama club is putting on a mu-
sical, so we interviewed a few
pupils to get their opinion.
We asked Catlin in P6A What is
your favourite thing about dra-
ma club?
Her answer was “Having fun
and meeting new people!”, we
also asked her what she en-
joyed about being in drama
club. “I love being in drama club
because there is so much fun
traveling around it's like a chain
of laughter!” she said.
We interviewed Lily P7B as
well. We asked her what her
opinion of drama club was.
“I think that drama club is a
great activity to have and that
it seems like a really fun thing
to do.” Lily said. We asked her if
she wanted to be in drama club
and she said that she thought
she would like to be in drama
club because it seems really
fun and exciting club to be in.
Drama club was started when
Mr Laurie had the idea of it. He
asked Mrs Simpson to help him.
We interviewed her about it and
she said “Mr Laurie asked me to
join him on the drama club jour-
ney and I was delighted to say
YES!
Summer’s mum, Sharon, was
interviewed too. We asked her
how much she enjoyed Cinder-ella and the 8 stories? Her an-
swer was “I thought Miss Simp-
son and Mr Laurie and the kids
did really well.” We also asked
her; to rate the performance on
a scale of 1 to 10?
“10 out of 10.” she replied
Musicals are a bit like plays but
have songs in them. For exam-
ple pantomimes are usually mu-
sicals. The drama club musical
features plenty of songs includ-
ing; We’re in a world of fantasy
to the tune of The Bare Neces-
sities from the jungle book.
Although we can’t tell you what
it is about. We can assure you
that it is a fantastic plot and we
are sure you will enjoy it!!!!!!!
Everyone in drama club has got
a part and is working hard to
make it the best musical ever.
We also interviewed Mr Laurie.
We asked him what what the
future of Inshes Drama Club
would be and he said: “After the
summer holidays auditions
start all over again and we will
hopefully continue to have a
magnificent Drama Club here at
Inshes.”
Mr Laurie studied to become a
drama teacher as well as a
normal teacher. He said he
loves drama.
Drama club, What’s all the Drama about?
This is Lily Fraser (P7B) who we
interviewed.

This is Summer Fraser’s mom who
we asked some question
Also remember to turn off the tap, the
microwave and any electronics you have
in your house. Remember to do recycling so you can use
it again and again instead of making peo-ple cut down trees to make more.
We asked Sarah from P4A about the Eco group.
These were the questions and answers we
got:
Are you sad because you have to pick up lots of trash?
“Disappointed because there is lots of
litter”
By Ava Kilgour and Hannah Tod
Inshes eco flag is a tree with to book and a
person in the middle holding up his/her hands. There is a photo of it on the other
side.
To gain a Eco flag you have to be a green
school. This means that the eco group will do litter picking and keep our environment
clean. The rest of the school also have to do that. To be eco friendly, here are some
suggestions: turn off electronics such as
the tv, the oven, your phone and the lights
What day do you do the litter pick?
“It depends on what day miss Sunde
thinks” What is the eco symbol?
“A tree with two books and a person” How much litter do you pick up in a day?
“About 150 pieces I think”
Eco Flag
clearly shows this.
Consoles and computers have
also changed quite a bit as you
can see in the picture below.
craft (2009) and Fortnite
(2017). We are going to focus on
a few of these games.
This is the history of Mario. As
you can see Mario has changed
quite a bit, from being a 2D
character to a 3D character. In
1985 pixels were visible to the
naked eye, where in 2007 you
can’t see the pixels. Over the
years technology has improved
and the animations have be-
come better. The picture below

The first video game ever in-
vented was; ‘Pong’ which was a
simple tennis game. It was in-
vented in 1958 by Physicist Wil-
liam Higinbotham. It is very dif-
ferent from today’s games.
Some of the most popular video
games throughout times have
been; Space Invaders (1978),
Pacman (1980), Donkey Kong
(1981), Centipede (1981), Mario
(1981), Sonic the Hedgehog
(1991), Age of Empires (1997),
World of Warcraft (2004), Mine-

Welcome To Always Outdoors
We went around the school asking pupils
about outdoor learning, Here is what they
said!
Hallie In P1A Said
“I like running around and playing with my
friends”
“I can’t go on most things because they
are to tricky”
“I think we should add some slides and
some more skipping ropes”
“ I don’t think it has improved in a while
but I hope that it will!”
Zara In P2B Said
“The adventure playground is great be-
cause it is fun”
“ I don’t like the football pitch”
“I want to add a slide”
“I don’t like the litter that everyone drops
everywhere”
P3A Millie Said
“It's a nice and big playground so everyone
can play in it and we all have space to play
in it “
“Sometimes we fight over things like skip-
ping ropes and hula hoops “
“I think the playground is perfect the way
it is “
“I think the playgorund is getting better
slowly”
Roseanna In P4B Said
“I like how our playground it is really large
and there is a lot of fun and creative things
to do “
“I would like a seesaw or a slide.”
Layla In P6B Said
“The playground is large and I like rolling
in the grass”
“I would like if the sand pit were opened
and we need a little equipment to make the
playground a bit more fun and enjoyable.”
“I would like to have Trampolines, slides
and bouncy castles in the playground!”
Sophie In P7A Said
“ I like the basketball court and the football
pitch.”
“I don’t like the outdoor classroom be-
cause everyone screams, wasps go in it
and there is so much litter underneath the
benches.”
“I would like to add some swings or a
slide.”
Mr Marshall Says
“The best thing about our playground is
the pupils in it, exploring and being so cre-
ative!”
“I would let the pupils build dens and tree-
houses and get bigger trees and add some
more to the adventure playground.”
Our playground
Here is some of the things we have in our
playground that we like to use
The Adventure Playground
The adventure playground is really fun for
all the pupils in Inshes. From the wobbly
bridge to the climbing ropes!
It has been here for a while now but it is
still fun for all of us. It is a really good
obstacle course!
Outdoor Classroom
It’s a really fun place that we like to use in
our outdoor learning Fridays! It is really
enjoyable for all our classes. It’s a brilliant
idea to have it because you can do so much
and have a lots of fun. We think it’s amaz-
ing!
The Rolling Logs And The Boat
These are quite new to our playground. The
boat is wooden and we always think of
creative things to do there! We all think it’s
a great addition to our playground. Then
we have the logs. We use the logs for a lot
of things; like stepping stones in a obstacle
course or we can make a trail to each
other. So both of these we love and can
use for so many things.
Outdoor Learning Fridays
Every Friday each class goes outside to go
learn something. It is everything from
sketching in the outdoor classroom to
playing different games! We always find
out something new to do, we are always
super creative when we do outdoor learn-
ing. Here are some examples of what we
enjoy doing. Art, games, treasure hunts
and much more! We always do something
exciting in outdoor learning.
Always Outdoors!
