Christmas Choir
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.
Christmas Party Time
P4, P4/5 and P5 let their hair down for their Christmas party this week. They enjoyed some Scottish dancing, party games, snacks and some Christmas music and dancing.
We all had a ball, and are totally in the Christmas spirit now!
Christmas Bauble Competition
Toronto’s Language Ambassadors set the whole school a Christmas challenge over the month of December. Their challenge was for every pupil to design a Christmas bauble that shared some traditions or language from another country. The designs we received were fabulous. it was so hard to choose winner. The baubles depicted traditions and languages from all over the world and was a super representation of the cultures and languages spoken in our school – Bulgarian, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Polish to name just a few.
The Language Ambassadors announced 1 winner from each class this morning at assembly, the winning designs were hung on our school Christmas tree.
Digital Christmas Card Competition
The Digital Leaders set the whole school their annual Christmas challenge to create a digital design to transform into our Toronto digital E-card. It was such a difficult job to choose 1 winner from all the amazing entries. We had creations on Word, Powerpoint, Adobe Express and Canva.
We are delighted to share our winning card with you!

Primary 4 and Primary 4/5 have been enjoying music sessions with Eamonn from Infectious Grooves. After weeks of learning new skills in drumming and rhythm, each class confidently shared their learning in a showcase performance for the rest of the school.

P4/5’s Roman Feast
Through our recent learning we have been finding out about the Romans.
We looked this week at Roman foods and were shocked at some of the items they would have on their feast menus – can you imagine eating peacock, tongue or dormice!
We created our own Roman Feast menus with a variety of foods we thought we might like to try.
Today we had our very own Roman feast with a variety of foods to try, some we were a bit apprehensive of but we all tried some new foods today and are very proud of ourselves!
