New P1 Buddies

Our P6 pupils at Toronto have recently been preparing for one of their important and responsible roles for P7 in August.

P6’s submitted application forms, undertook an interview and completed training sessions to prepare them for being a Buddy to our new P1’s in August. P6 are now well equipped for this responsible role and are looking forward to meeting their buddies very soon!

A Busy Week in P7A

This week we worked with our P1 buddies, we had great fun playing in the field.  We had pots and pans and water and we made potions and grass soup.  We played Duck, duck, goose, played with bubbles and had a blether.

In rugby we were learning how to pass the and how to score a try, we had to race against each other.

In Bikeability some of us were learning how to cross the road, do a U-turn and safe start and stop.

When the Bikeability groups were out the rest of P7A learned about the artist Piet Mondrian and we created our own compositions.  Piet Mondrian was a famous artist who developed a style of his own, called neoplasticism. His work became minimalistic. He painted using simple lines, right angles and blocks of primary colours. Mondrian wanted to express a harmony and purity in his work.

Olympic Torch Ceremony from Olympia-Paris with P5

Primary 5 are learning about the Olympics this term. We have been following the Olympic torch’s journey so far in 2024 starting in Olympia Greece, where the ancient Olympics originated, all the way to Paris for the opening ceremony. We named ourselves after some Greek and French cities, towns and territories, and held our very own Olympic torch ceremony from Olympia-Paris, in our playground!

Outdoor Learning @ Toronto

This week some of our P7 children took part in some fun outdoor learning and baking activities with Mrs Steel.

They had fun at the swing park and enjoyed building dens in the woods. Today they have been making delicious Angel Delight Cones.

P4 Multi Sports Festival

Primary 4’s visited Inveralmond Community High School for the cluster sports festival. We participated in four types of sports (football, basketball, dancing and hockey). We played with children from different schools in Livingston. There was also a cool down area where we got to rest and have our snack. We even got to see our old P3 teacher Mrs Kinross! We enjoyed it because it was really fun but we got soaked on the walk back to school. We enjoyed having the opportunity to visit Inveralmond as it might be our future High School!
