It was P2’s turn this week to visit West Lothian College for some fun and games.
The children enjoyed the excitement of the bus journey and then had great fun playing the games with the WL College Students. The favourites this week were Duck, Duck Goose, Ladders, Toilet tig and Chaos tig.
This week P1 visited WL College to take part in some Active Schools activities.
The children really enjoyed practising their ball skills and playing fun games. Some of their favourites were Duck, Duck, Goose, Domes and Dishes and Sleeping Pirates.
This morning our P7 Football team took part in their first competitive matches at the Inveralmond Cluster Football Festival.
Team Toronto have been training hard and their coach Miss Telford was delighted with their performance at their first event. The teamwork, determination, skill and stamina were exemplary! The team were proud of their efforts today too, especially when the managed some great results in some difficult games.
The outlook for Team Toronto is positive and they can’t wait until their next game!
P7 girls had their first rugby session this morning with Sam from Livingston Rugby Club, learning skills, developing fitness and having lots of fun!
P6/7 have begun training for our Cluster pentathlon this week. On Monday we practiced our shuttle runs and coached and encouraged each other to better our times. Today we worked on speed bounces. We had to make sure our bounces were “good” by ensuring we took off on 2 feet, landed on 2 feet, so what better way to practice than using the pogo balls!
We then transferred this skill to the wedge and counted how many we could do in 20 seconds. It was tough and we were very tired afterwards, but had lots of fun and managed to better our score each time.
How many bounces could you do in 20 seconds???
The holidays are here and we are hoping that the lovely weather we have been having recently will continue.
Now lockdown is easing and the restrictions are relaxing, what better way to get back out and about than on your bike!
Here is some cycling information with regards to Covid-19 and some challenges and games that the whole family can enjoy during the summer holidays.

Last week one of our talented P7 girls took part in West Lothian’s Cross Country Championships 2019.
At the beginning of the year, our P6 children took part in our cluster Cross Country trials. Our Toronto Primary representative finished in first place of all girls across the cluster. This win gave her entry into the WL Cross Country Championships. She ran a super time and came well within the top 20 girls runners across the whole of West Lothian. Well done, we are very proud of you!
