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!
Children in our P1-3 department have been thoroughly enjoying taking part in a range of construction based challenges this week! These challenges have been collaborative, motivating and above all FUN! We have had to learn how to co-operate in mini teams, problem solve, persevere and express our own ideas using a wide range of practical materials! Here are a few snapshots of Primary 3/2 in action…with a couple of sneaky P7s who wanted in on the building site action! Oh and Ms Elder who was instructed by the Site Manager to wear her hard hat and high viz waistcoat before she could pass through 🙂
We were feeling extremely humbled in Nursery today when Alison from the charity Mary’s Meals came in to collect a cheque for an incredible £80.38!
As part of our recent work on citizenship, Nursery staff decided that instead of accepting Christmas gifts from our lovely families, this year that we would ask them to forget the gifts for us and to try to contribute 25p so that we could raise £13.90 to feed a child for a year in a developing country. Mary’s Meals offered to double whatever we Managed to raise. Our amazing Nursery parents loved this idea and blew our target out of the water! We raised £80.38 which, once doubled by Mary’s Meals, will feed 12 children for a whole year! We can’t believe it! We are so grateful to have the most incredible children and families in our Nursery!
Alison, the representative from Mary’s Meals, was overjoyed to be invited in to speak with the children and she said that she had never heard of any other Nursery doing such a lovely charitable act in this way. Stuart from The Courier caught professional snaps and these photos will hopefully be published in The Courier next week or the following week.

Well done to each and every little superstar from our choir who made their way to the ICHS stage for our annual Christmas cluster choir! We were bursting with pride and loved the support from our TPS families! Thank you again to Mr Platt for his musical wizardry! #proud #ICHSClusterChoir 
Mmmm…we wonder who will spot our elf door first?
Thanks goes to Blair for thinking of using a big box to make a stable for the baby Jesus! Our afternoon children were inspired by their Primary 1 friends after getting a sneaky peak of their dress rehearsal yesterday. Morning children will get to see it on a Thursday.
Miss Munro and Miss Butler were shocked to find some magical elves in their classrooms on Friday! They brought team building gifts and letters all the way from the North Pole! We are all very excited to see what they get up to in our classes over the next few weeks! 🎅🏼
After reading all about cress seeds, some of Ms Elder’s superstars decided to grow their very own cress in pots. They loved observing the daily changes and kept a visual photographic diary for all of us to see each day when we passed by the classroom. We hope you enjoyed tasting them at home on your sandwiches! Well done everyone!
