P4/5’s Roman Feast

Leave a reply

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!

We then looked at a school calendar with different school events. We discussed the costs that these events would have.

Challenge Poverty Week 2024

Leave a reply
During Challenge Poverty Week 2024, Primary 3 explored some big questions:
  • What does West Lothian do to help people in poverty?
  • What does Toronto PS do to help poverty?
  • What could Toronto PS do to help those in need?
Learners discussed the West Lothian food bank, our Toronto Boutique, free school meals and free after school clubs.
Primary 3 also had a visit from Mrs McDougall, our Family link Worker, who came and explained what she does in her job does to help.
For our school to provide further support to our families and community we identified a wide range of ideas, including creating a knitting or sewing club to make scarves and hats to keep families warm, having fruit bowls in classes, and much more!
We then made posters to express our thoughts and ideas.

World Mental Health Day 2024

Leave a reply

On Thursday 10th October 2024, P4/5 recognised World Mental Health Day by taking their learning outdoors. Outdoor learning is thought to improve mood, reduce stress, encourage relaxation, improve physical activity and boost confidence and self esteem.

P4/5 took their literacy outdoors where they found interesting places to read their books and then use the natural materials to recreate some of the illustrations and photos from their reading books.
