Primary 4 were excellent today at practising their badminton serves. We were working on our hand-eye coordination to make sure we were sending the shuttlecock to our partners. Our target for next week is to send the shuttlecock back and forward 5 times without it hitting the floor. We love a challenge! 
Primary 7, along with their teacher, Mr Graham, organised and led an outstanding Burns Supper! They invited special guests from Toronto’s past and present and took everyone through a traditional Burns Supper. Liam and Ross were fantastic compares whilst Harris said grace in the form of the Selkirk Grace before the haggis was piped in by Liam and Charlie addressed it perfectly in the style of Burns himself! Entertainment included all of the senior School poetry winners and Cameron, Kieran and Nathan led us through a super PowerPoint which highlighted some facts about the great Robert Burns as Christopher and Ryan played soft Scottish music in the background! We had an entourage of waiters and waitresses who served up Scotch Broth and Haggis, Neeps n’ Tatties (thank you so much Sharon and Michelle, part of our amazing kitchen dream team) all washed down by good old Irn Bru! Well done to everyone else who played their part in the event; from invitations to place settings and hall decorations to front of house volunteers who welcomed guests and took their coats!! It was a fabulous afternoon! We are so proud of you all P7!
Over the past few weeks Primary 4 and 4/3 have been learning about famous Scottish artists Charles Rennie MacKintosh who was famous for his beautiful rose stained glass window designs, Steven Brown who coined the McCoo Highland Cow art and Andy Scott who designed The Kelpies. They have thoroughly enjoyed this topic and showcases their outstanding artwork in a gallery which they took great delight in showcasing to our whole school and nursery! Well done P4 and P4/3 you blew us away with your knowledge and we loved visiting your gallery! 🎨
At Toronto PS we are honoured to have our very own little Bagpipe superstar!! Liam began learning his craft on the chanter 3 years ago and has now been playing the bagpipes for around 2 years! We are extremely proud of you Liam, you have an incredible future ahead of you and every single child and adult at TPS couldn’t stop smiling at how far you’ve come! You blew us all away! 🎵
Ryan and Lewis made the perfect double act as they performed their rendition of ‘A Dug, A Dug’ by Bill Keys.
Katy perfected her ‘Sair Finger’ poem by Walter Wingate. Well done Katy – we are so proud of you!
At Toronto PS our children always impress us and make us proud…today was a goosebump kind of day, as together, we celebrated the life and times of the great Robert Burns.
Liam from P5 kicked the whole thing off by piping each class into Assembly where our House and Vice Captains presented poetry winners from across the school with wonderful certificates.
We managed to catch a few on video…we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did! Follow the next few posts for all of the fun!
Primary 4 are so sad to say goodbye to Morris but we wish him all the best at his new school. Children from our Glee Club changed their song lyrics to “Take on Dunoon” – Have a listen.
All the very best from everyone at Toronto!
