Yesterday, Primary 4 and 5 attended the Sky Sports Games at Bathgate Sports Centre. They were given the opportunity to participate in a number of sports including rugby, football, bowls, rhythmic gymnastics, cricket, dodgeball and judo! The children showed great enthusiasm in all activities and demonstrated a sense of fair play and team spirit throughout. We met the Sky Sports Mentor for the area, Andy Mayor, who has competed for both Great Britain and Scotland, reaching the Commonwealth Games. All in all it was a fantastic day out and hopefully it has inspired some of our pupils to take up a new sport as a result! A big thanks to Mrs. Ewing for helping on the day.
P3 Brainteasers
P3 tried to solve several tricky brainteasers in problem solving today. They would like you to solve the following:
What is heavier? A kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of gold?
What can go up a chimney down but not down a chimney up?
What word if pronounced right is wrong, but if pronounced wrong is right?
Good luck! P3 solved them all!!
Third Eco flag achieved!!
A huge congratulations to all pupils and staff for helping achieve the third Eco flag for Torphichen Primary School today! The assessor was blown away by the articulate and passionate way the Eco Committee described their work and was so impressed, he could not think of any recommendations! We can now look forward to receiving and flying a well-deserved new Green flag.
Meet the new Eco Committee!
The committee have already been busy – checking the results of the Environmental Review and deciding on their action plans, which are now on display on the Eco board. Remember to add your ideas to the agenda – also on the board – ready for the next meeting on 21 November.
