A group of our P6 children took part in ICHS cluster Tennis Festival this week. Walking to Ladywell Tennis Courts proved to be a good warm up before their matches. The pupils then took part in doubles matches against pairs from our cluster primary schools. All children had fun taking part and Toronto were proud to make it to the semi finals! We may have a new Andy Murray or Serena Williams on our hands.
Bikeability is well under way this term and our P5’s and P6’s have been working hard to learn new skills and techniques.
These Primary 6’s below are working on Level 2 bikeability and have been using the streets around our school to help practise their newly learned bike skills. They are mastering safe starts and stops, right, left and U turns and negotiating parked cars.
Primary 1 have been enjoying exploring movement and exercise through the online site GoNoodle. The Chicken Dance was a firm favourite in P1!
During the last term, three Primary 5/6 pupils recognised an area of their playground that they would like to develop. The girls organised an activity to raise funds in order to buy some supplies to make a start to this area.
Over the last few days of term the girls were delighted to see that the work was well underway to repair the trellis area that they identified. These P5/6 pupils have now been organising the next steps for this area when we return after the holidays. They plan to paint the trellis and have already begun collecting ornaments to decorate with.
Last week Scripture Union came into school to work with classes. P1a and P1b had a great time watching and taking part in the story of “God’s Great Idea!”. Children learned about God’s plan, designed their very own inventions and created a head band with a light bulb showing themselves……God’s Great Idea!
This morning we had an assembly to celebrate all of the great sporting achievements of 2018/19. This year we have had lots of different clubs such as football, futsal, rugby, dancing cycling and invasion games. This year we have had a lot of different clubs but next year we want more. We would to thank all of our partners who have played a big part in helping us achieve our sporting excellence this year.

Primary 5 were up bright and early on our last morning of camp. After packing up our bags, we headed off for a tour to Linlithgow Palace………and a sneaky stop off at the park!
We have had a blast over the last few days, but also looking forward to coming home to see our families and sleep in our own beds!
See you all soon!
Today we have been very busy outdoors!
Once kitted out in our waterproofs and wellies we all took part in canoeing and a forest adventure. We loved crawling through tunnels, walking up the stream and keeping our canoe afloat!
After dinner we got glammed up for our disco and were cutting some shapes on the dance floor.
We are all really tired today after lots of activities and looking forward to bed!
An early morning visit to Linlithgow Palace is planned for tomorrow, before heading home after lunch.
Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
We arrived early this morning and were out and about straight away. We went for a looong walk round the Loch – the park at the end and roly polys down the huge hill was worth the walk! After lunch at the centre it was time to walk to Linlithgow Canal Centre, we loved our trip on the boat, and were very impressed with the boat’s 3 point turns!
We went back to the centre and were very excited to get to our rooms!, then we remembered we had to make our beds!! That was tough!
After a yummy dinner we went down to the peel for a game of rounders. Once back we got snuggled into our jammies, put a film on and had some supper before bed.
We have been so busy today and there are lots of tired P5’s tonight. We have another busy day tomorrow!
On Friday 31st May, we held our annual Sports Day. Even though the weather wasn’t too kind, we still had lots of fun, laughs, teamwork and competition, as we held our sports day indoors.
In our big hall we took part in some potted sports, where we were shooting the football into the goal, testing out our aim on the target throw, completing the obstacle course and running the hurdles, to name a few. In the lunch hall we took part in some traditional sports day races – flat race, bean bag race, egg and spoon race. We had lots of proud winners showing off their certificates and stickers for placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in our races.
Along with our water to keep us hydrated during all this physical activity, we enjoyed some tasty fruit during our morning, which was very kindly donated by Aldi and Lidl, and then a tasty ice lolly treat afterwards.
Today our Pupil Leadership Team shared the total scores from the day for each House team. Our winning house was Mohawk, who enjoyed an extra break together this afternoon as their reward. Well done Team Mohawk!
Here are some photos and videos from the day taken by our photographer Peyton.
